Welcome to the custom install Studio Series 
and thank you for choosing a Dynaudio Custom

and S4-C80 in-ceiling speakers and the S4-W65 and

1. Introduction

This manual describes the installation of Studio Series speakers 
within drywall/plasterboard walls and ceilings. It begins by listing 
the contents of the Studio Series cartons and continues with 
sections that provide information common to in-ceiling and in-wall 
speakers. Later sections in the manual provide information specific 
to installing in-ceiling or in-wall speakers.

If this is your first time working with Dynaudio Studio Series 
custom install speakers, or if you have not done so for a while, we 
recommend that you read the appropriate sections of this manual 
before you begin.

Note: 

Visit dynaudio.com for the latest Studio Series news and 

information.

The Studio Series is designed to provide very high quality audio in 
custom installations where speakers are required to be fitted flush 
in walls and ceilings. The Studio Series not only benefits from four 
decades of Dynaudio speaker expertise but has been designed 
from first principles to offer a new approach to custom speaker 
installation and performance.
