How to use this manual
The following pages contain step by step advice to help you achieve a successful installation of
your Evolution Series loudspeaker.
The Evolution Series loudspeaker can be installed into walls or ceilings of various construction
types. This installation guide covers the two basic building construction types; plasterboard
cavity walls/ceilings and brick/concrete walls/ceilings. For other construction types please
contact Amina.
Cavity wall or ceiling
This is the most common type of installation and requires you to use the Amina BackboxCV or
our basic fixing block kit (both BackboxCV and the basic fixing block kit are sold separately).
Wherever possible we recommend you use the BackboxCV as the Evolution Series loudspeaker
has been tuned to work optimally in this setup. The BackboxCV also reduces (although doesn’t
entirely stop) the rearward sound output of the Evolution Series loudspeaker which is important
when considering the amount of airborne sound transmission that is acceptable through to
adjacent rooms/properties.
Solid wall or ceiling
For installation into brickwork or concrete you will need to pre-install an Amina BackboxSW
(sold separately). When the BackboxSW is installed according to this guide it will position the
speaker correctly and securely in the wall/ceiling, ready to be plastered over.
The details below and the flow chart on the opposite page will allow you to select the correct
installation steps to follow for your particular type of installation.
Section
: Preparing the wall / ceiling and fixing the product
In this section, select the type of installation you will be carrying out and begin from the start
page given. This will direct you through the stages, step by step. Throughout the step by step
process, reminders will advise you to view specific pages within Section B.
At this point you will need to ascertain the specific page that best matches your installation
requirement within this section (e.g., is it a retrofit installation or a new build?).
Section
: Alignment and plastering preparation
Section B is the reference section which is to be used in conjunction with Section A. Please
ensure the correct alignment and plastering method for a retrofit installation or a new build is
followed. Reminders on each page throughout Section A will guide the installer to the correct
reference page.
Section
: Testing
This section advises you on the correct procedures for speaker testing, both before and after
plastering.
Section
: Finishing
This section covers plastering and decorating once your speaker has been installed and aligned
correctly. It may again be necessary to refer to Section B in order to apply the correct
plastering method.
