service for your customer

acoustical equipment for the home. To ensure that your customer receives the high-quality music and voice reproduction
that the system is designed to deliver, it is important that each step of the installation be done carefully. If you
follow the step-by-step illustrated instructions below, the result will be a successful professional-quality installation. In the
event you need troubleshooting assistance, please call our technical staff at 1-800-366-9422.
Step 1
Determine speaker location and mark your plans for future
reference. These speakers
DO NOT
use mounting rings.
Each speaker should be mounted at least 2' from the walls,
if ceiling mounted or at least 2' from the ceiling, if wall
mounted.
DO NOT
mount speakers in outside walls.
Step 2
Run a 16 gauge 2 conductor cable, such as MS16X5 for the
SA8/ SACS10, or a MS2XSC for the NR8M/FMC8, from the
volume control to the speaker location. Be sure that you
secure the wire
(DO NOT USE STAPLES)
and leave enough
wire for the speaker connection.
Step 3
For speakers being installed in ceiling applications, some
type of protection will be required for the back of the speaker
if blown insulation is used. The following is a partial list of
ways to protect the speaker:
• Use a piece of wood that will cover at least 3' on either side
of the speaker opening. The ends may need to be partially
closed to keep the blown insulation from reaching the
speaker, however, a gap of 2" at each end is better than a
sealed box.
• Use a piece of bat insulation at least 3" thick over the back
of the speaker. This insulation should not have a backing or
if it does, the backing must be installed facing away from
the speaker.
• Use a fine screen mesh to cover the back of the speaker to
protect against bulk type insulation materials. This will not
work with an insulation containing a fine powder.
