It is advisable to plan all aspects of installation in advance of work
beginning, preferably with the house/flat building schematics if
available. Great care should be taken to ensure that all building
regulations are followed. When deciding upon a ceiling placement,
care should be taken to avoid joists, load bearing beams etc.
When placing the OSS165 speaker, thought should be given to
positions which give the best desired sound coverage throughout
the room, while not interfering with existing or planned light fittings
or joists. Also, locate loudspeaker taking into account location of
furnishings for optimal stereo reproduction.
Before cutting ceiling loudspeaker holes it is suggested that the
area is tested for clearance by making an L-shaped probe from
strong wire (eg a coat hanger), drilling a small hole in the target
area, inserting the probe and slowly turning. Any obstructions will
be immediately obvious, and the target area can be moved to a
more suitable position.
When mounting speaker flush to a ceiling or wall, ensure that
enough depth/clearance is available in the respective cavity. A
clearance of at least 80mm is necessary when mounting an
OSSI65.
Remove the round cardboard pad from inside the supplied
template (see below). Use the template to mark the position for the
mounting hole at the selected location. Cut the mounting hole with
a drywall or keyhole saw.
