Note: IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION FOR LOCATING THE IS4 C ON WALLS
For wall installations, locate the bottom of the Invisible Series Speaker at least 7 ft. (2.1m) up from
the floor. Placing the speaker lower on the wall will put it at risk for having picture nails or other
hanging devices driven through the diaphragm and damaging the speaker. Since the final surface finish
enables the speaker to completely disappear, it is critical to locate the speaker high enough on the
wall to protect it for the future. Resulting damage of this type is not covered by the warranty.
