8. Use construction adhesive and tightly spaced screws to secure panels with
loudspeaker cutouts to studs.
9. We recommend using our optional new construction metal brackets,
especially when loudspeakers are installed in regular drywall panels without
additional panel reinforcement, as stated in paragraph 7. Properly bonded with
construction adhesive to the wall, the brackets not only provide a better seal,
but also reinforce the whole assembly and thereby reduce vibration.
10. For new construction, we highly recommend bracing adjacent stud cavities to
the left and to the right of the loudspeaker with additional diagonally positioned
studs. Use construction adhesive and screws to couple studs to the wall. Stuff
adjacent cavities heavily with dense green fiberglass. It has higher
transmission loss characteristics than pink fiberglass.
11. If maximum sound isolation is required, we recommend building dedicated
back boxes and suspending them inside the stud cavity or installing
loudspeakers in 5” deep on-wall cabinets. Refer to specification sheets for
cutout sizes and installed depth for cabinet layout. We recommend minimum
enclosure volume as indicated above.
