RBH Sound A-414, Installation And Instruction Manual, Page: 5 / 16

RBH Sound in-wall speakers are designed on an infinite baffle configuration. This
means an enclosure is not required for the speaker to perform properly. However,
using an RBH Sound back box will most likely improve the tightness and control
the bass response. RBH Sound in-wall speakers have also been designed to make
installation as easy as possible. Upon opening the speaker boxes you will notice that
the screws are pre-started into the dog legs or a pinch bracket. The speaker is held in
place by sandwiching the drywall between the bracket and speaker. A frame around
the speaker conceals the cutout in the drywall and presses against the front of the
wall. Behind the wall, the speaker has a set of dog legs or a pinch ring which cinch
the speaker to the drywall.
CAUTION:
Be certain there are no electrical wires, water pipes, heating ducts or any
other obstructions in the planned area of installation before starting to drill or cut
into the ceiling or wall. If there is an electrical outlet nearby, turn off the circuit
breaker to avoid possible injury.
Installing WITH a New Construction Bracket:
If using a new construction bracket cutting the drywall should not be necessary,
since the drywall contractor should have cut the holes continue with “Connecting the
Speaker” instructions on the next page.
Installing WITHOUT a New Construction Bracket:
Use the cutout template supplied with the speaker for
guidance in cutting the drywall, following “Using the
Template” instructions below.
Using the Template:
1. These speakers are designed to be mounted between the
framing members of a stud-framed wall. Use a stud finder
to locate the position of studs. Make sure you have a 2-inch
clearance from the outside of the cutout hole from studs.
NOTE:
Most RBH 6-inch models use the pinch-bracket
which allows tight fit next to wood stud if needed. A
valuable feature!
2. Drill a 1/4-inch hole in the center of the area you
plan to mount the speaker. Cut or bend a piece of wire
(a coat hanger works well) to a 90-degree angle. Insert
the wire into the pilot hole and fish around to make sure
there aren’t any obstructions which will interfere with
the installation.
NOTE:
If you must choose another location, the pilot
hole can be easily patched.
3. Once a suitable location is found, use masking tape to
temporarily place the supplied cutout template on the wall, centered over the pilot
hole. Draw a circle around the inside edge of the template.
4. Carefully cut the hole with the appropriate cutting tool to remove the material
inside the circle inscribed by the template.
