Installation
Installing Your Loudspeakers During a New
Construction/Renovation
If you are installing your flush-mount Atlantic Technology loudspeakers
during a renovation or new construction, you will probably have the ben-
efit of exposed joists, ceilings and stud walls. This makes the running of the
speaker wire much more straightforward.
The mounting surfaces used should be at least 1/2" (10mm) thick to ensure
safety and speaker stability.
Your Atlantic Technology loudspeakers have optional pre-construction
brackets. These can be used to assist with installation. They can be nailed
or stapled between the joists or studs in the planned speaker position with
the flange of the speaker cutout facing out.
As the plasterboard is fitted you will find it easier to accurately cut out the
necessary hole for your Atlantic Technology loudspeaker reducing instal-
lation time and debris when the speakers are being fitted.

Installing Your Loudspeakers in a Pre-Existing
Construction
If you are installing your flush-mount Atlantic Technology loudspeakers
in existing construction, installation may be a little more challenging as
you may have to fish cables to minimize any disruption to the decor of
your home.
The first step in installing flush-mount loudspeakers in existing construc-
tion is to establish the location of the ceiling joists. You may be able to do
this by lifting upstairs floorboards or using stud finding tools. If not, you
may need to make pilot holes and a probe but recognize this may entail
making cosmetic repairs afterwards.
Once a suitable location is identified, you will need to cut out the correct
size opening in the surface of the plasterboard using the supplied cut-out
template. You should make a pilot hole first and take care not to cut into
pre-existing electrical cables or plumbing.
You will need to run speaker cable from the opening back to the ampli-
fier (in the case of the Single-stereo model IC-8.3 or 6.3, you will need
two cables). Ensure you comply with any building codes that may apply
in your location.
