iW4 ARC In-Wall Loudspeaker Installation Guide
Installation: New Construction (ceilings not installed – you see ceiling joists when you look up)
Installation in new construction is a three-step process. () Install the appropriate pre-construction brackets in the chosen locations
according to your well though-out plan. (2) Run your speakers wires to these locations according to your well though-out wiring plan.
(3) Install the speakers after the ceiling and trim is installed and painted but just before the carpet or flooring is installed.
The iW4B kit is the pre-construction bracket you’ll use for the iW4-
ARC
speakers. Each box will contain a mounting system for one
speaker, which includes:
() Plastic Mounting Bracket
(2) Aluminum Mounting wings
(4) 5 x 50mm flathead wood/metal screws
Tools You’ll Need:
Pencil
#2 Philips screwdriver
Tape measure
Utility knife
Keyhole saw, jigsaw or rotary saw
Safety goggles
Dust mask
Protective gloves
A solid and stable ladder
Electric drill with #2 Philips bit
Band-aids
Performance tip: Consider building a box using plywood behind the speaker. We offer a technical document (Tech Docs) on the nhthifi.
com website recommending the optimal internal volume and how much insulation to place in the box by speaker model. This will help
isolate the speaker sound from bleeding into adjacent rooms, improve bass response, (tightness and lower distortion). Build it solid, use
screws and construction adhesive and caulking to air seal it and insure it will not vibrate, rattle, fall apart or come loose. Make sure it
is supported by the ceiling joists, not the sheetrock!
