Ceiling mount instructions
1
Determine where you want to mount the speakers. The speakers must be
mounted in areas where there are no obstructions like studs (joists). Use
a stud finder to locate the studs.
Notes:
• Make sure that your speaker wires are long enough to run from the speakers
to your audio equipment.
• The wires must be UL or CL rated to ensure your safety and to meet building
code compliance.
2
Position the cardboard mounting template on
the ceiling where you want to mount a
speaker, then trace around the template.
3
Drill a small hole in the center of the template
outline you drew on the ceiling.
4
Bend a piece of coat hanger wire, then insert
the wire into the hole. Slowly rotate the wire
to check for any obstructions. If you find an
obstruction, patch the hole and find a new
location for the speaker.
5
Using a keyhole or drywall saw, carefully cut
the ceiling section you outlined, then remove
the section.
6
Run the wires from the speaker outputs on
your audio equipment to the hole created for
your speaker. Allow a few extra feet of wire so
you will have enough wire to easily connect
the speaker before mounting it to the ceiling.
Warning
: Make sure your audio equipment is
disconnected from power before running the
wires through the walls or ceiling.
Note
: Use high-quality wire such as 16 gauge UL
or CL rated speaker wire.
Mount the speakers
6-10 feet apart.
Each speaker
should be the same
distance from the
listening area.
Mount the
speakers 6-10 feet
apart and 3-6 feet
behind the
listening area.
