4. Position the included cutout template where the speaker is to be located and pencil an outline on the wall.
• If you are unsure about obstructions, drill a small hole in the center of the outline and insert a coat hanger wire into the hole to feel-around for
possible obstructions.
5. Cut the mounting hole using a keyhole or drywall saw, and run the speaker wires from the mounting hole to the amplifier location.
IMPORTANT: Consult local building codes before running speaker wires through walls.
Before Installation: IR Plug
Sonance Cinema Select speakers have a plug for installing an IR receiver into
the speaker’s front baffle (See
Figure 7). In systems where the electronics
may be placed in an inconvenient location this allows remote controls to be
aimed at the front of the room instead of at the electronics.
The knockout is in the form of a bolt and retaining nut. To remove the knock-
out, unscrew the nut (located behind the baffle, see
Figure 8) and remove the
bolt. The hole is designed to receive a Sonance SMR1 or SMR1P Surface-Mount
IR receiver. Insert the IR receiver through the front of the speaker baffle and
use the nut included with the receiver to secure it to the baffle.

Installation
Sonance Cinema Select speakers feature exclusive FastMount
®
tabs and an integral RotoLock
®
mounting system for quick mounting directly into existing walls.
WARNING: THE EDGES OF FASTMOUNT TABS ARE VERY SHARP. USE CAUTION WHEN HANDLING THE SPEAKER.
1. Remove the paint plug from the speaker.
2. Run speaker wire from each speaker to the amplifier location.
3. Strip ¼” – ½” of insulation from each speaker lead. Twist the strands or tin the exposed wire with solder to ensure that there are no stray strands.
(Stray strands that touch each other can cause a short-circuit that can damage your amplifier.)
4. Push the top of each spring-loaded connector post down to open the connector and insert the exposed wires into the holes in the posts.
• The speaker’s positive post is labeled with a red dot; the negative post is labeled with a black dot. Double-check that you connected amplifier “+” to
speaker “+” and amplifier “–” to speaker “–”.
5. Make sure all the RotoLock clamps are in the full
clockwise position so that they are tucked within the
mounting hole’s border. Insert the speaker into the
hole in the wall (
Figure 9). The RotoLock system can
accommodate a maximum wall material thickness of
1¼”.
• The FastMount tabs will prevent the speaker from
falling out of the mounting hole, allowing the
installer to let go of the speaker to pick-up tools
or other items (
Figure 10).
