Installation Environment
Ceiling placement
•
The speaker is rated for installation in plenum spaces.
•
The mounting kit comes with four sets of aircraft cables and cable gripper mounting
hardware for suspending the speaker in a horizontal orientation.
•
Mounting holes for mounting using unistruts or all thread rods are provided.
•
Isolation grommets are provided that dampen mechanical vibrations from the
subwoofer to the rest of the structure.
•
Other than the isolation grommets, the installer must provide the mounting
hardware for unistrut or all thread rod installation.
•
The mounting holes can also accept hanger wire.
•
The port tube does not isolate the listening space from the installation space.
Bleed-over into adjacent rooms must be taken into consideration.
Placement behind a wall
•
When the subwoofer is installed behind a wall, the port tube must be located as close
to the wall surface facing the listening space as possible.
•
The drywall facing the subwoofer may need to be removed between the studs on either
side of the unit, in order to bring the port tube as close as possible to the front surface
of the wall. In this case, fire blocks must be run in-between the studs, to seal off the
space above the removed portion of the wall.
•
The optional SMK F SF 10C Plus floor mounting kit must be used when the subwoofer
is placed on the floor and must be strapped to a stud.
