• Place the speaker carefully into the cutout. If you have a level, use it to help you correctly align rectangular speaker models.  
   Tighten the lock arm screws with a screwdriver [Figure 15]. This will rotate the lock arms [Figure 16] and secure the speaker  
   to the wall/ceiling. 

   Do not over-tighten the lock arm screws.

 If you are using a powered screwdriver or drill, set the torque to a value of  

   7 in. – lb. (8dN – m). Install the grille on the speaker frame. Powerful magnets hold the grille in place.

Safety First

When installing your Di Series In-Wall Loudspeakers, be aware of the weight of your particular model and the sturdiness of the material  
into which you are installing the speaker. Also be aware of any concealed studs, electrical wiring or plumbing in the wall or ceiling into 
which you are installing the speakers. If you are not sure of a safe way to install these speakers, consult a professional installer, your  
authorized Definitive Technology dealer, or a building contractor.
