CYNEMA SOUNDFIELD
™
SOUNDBAR SYSTEMS
INSTAllING THe SySTem
Niles Cynema Soundfield Speaker Systems are designed for installation in existing walls built using standard
construction (drywall attached to wood studs spaced 16” on center).
NOTE:
Walls constructed with studs that are not accurately spaced 16” on center may prevent proper installation of the three
Speaker Modules and the Amplifier Module.
Install the included In-Wall Mounting System below and centered with a wall mounted Flat Panel TV.
Wall cutout templates are supplied to mark the drywall and cut the proper size rectangular holes which
accommodate the Cynema Soundfield In-Wall Mounting System and In-Wall Power Supply Box. Use the
outside dimensions of the included Speaker Grille to determine the final location of the Cynema Soundfield
Speaker System (see Page 11
Figure 2
for dimensions). The design of the magnetically attached Speaker Grill
provides plus or minus 1” of left and right fine position adjustment after it is attached to the In-Wall Mounting
System for precise center alignment with the TV.
NOTE:
Create a rough sketch that diagrams the exact position of the wall studs, TV and proposed speaker location to identify any
unforeseen installation issues before cutting the drywall (see Page 12 Figure 3 & 4 ).
cut the dry wall opening for the in-wall mounting SyStem (all modelS)
1. Locate all of the studs in the wall below the TV location using a stud sensor or by hand-knocking.
2. Drill a 1/8” pilot hole just barely through the wallboard or dry wall (1/2” to 5/8” deep in most homes) in the
vertical center of your proposed speaker location and the horizontal center of each stud bay the mounting
system will cover.
NOTE: BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO DRILL THROUGH EXISTING WIRES, PIPES, OR STRUCTURE. IF YOU FEEL ANY EXTRA RESISTANCE AS
YOU ARE DRILLING, STOP.
3. Cut a piece of coat hanger equal to the width of the stud bays. Bend the wire in half creating a right angle.
Poke the “L shaped” wire into the pilot hole and turn it in a complete circle. If it turns freely in all directions,
repeat the procedure for each stud bay of your proposed speaker location (See below). If the coat hanger
wire movement is obstructed by a pipe or cable, fill the hole(s) with spackle or other patching compound
and consider a different location.
4. Once you have determined the correct position for the speaker grille,
center the supplied In-Wall Mounting System cutout template vertically
and horizontally with the proposed grill location. Tape it to the wall surface
making sure it is level with the TV and trace it using a pencil. Drill the four
corners of the trace with a 1/4” drill bit.
5. If you are cutting a painted or wall papered drywall, use a sheetrock or
keyhole saw.
NOTE:
BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO SAW THROUGH EXISTING WIRES, PIPES, OR STRUCTURE.
IF YOU FEEL ANY EXTRA RESISTANCE AS YOU ARE CUTTING, STOP.
