Step 1 – Choose Speaker Placement:
All applications apply for Ceiling and In-Wall speaker installation. The In-Wall and Ceiling speakers may
be used in new or existing ceiling or wall installations to reproduce stereo music or home cinema
surround sound.
Step 2 - Check For Obstructions:
If an obstruction is found behind the plasterboard in the proposed location, you will need to choose a
different location for the speaker. Before installing In-Wall or Ceiling speaker in pre-existing plasterboard,
check for joists or any other obstructions, such as metal pipes, which are hidden from your view.
Stud Locator:
The easiest, most efficient way to detect obstructions behind plasterboard is to use a stud finder. At
each proposed speaker location, use the stud locator to find an open space. Try to centre each
speaker between the joists. Slide the stud locator horizontally and vertically across the ceiling or walls to
locate the joists or any other obstructions.
Step 3 – Cut Speaker Opening:
1. At each speaker location, use the cardboard template to trace a cut line onto the ceiling or wall.
The Dimensions for the speaker, 229 x 229 x 100mm
2. At the location, drill a small hole in the plasterboard at the centre of the outline.
3. Bend a piece of stiff wire (e.g. coat hanger) about 6 inches from the end at a 90 – degree angle.
Insert the bent end into the hole and rotate the wire to check for any obstructions. If you hit anything,
patch the hole with plasterboard filler and choose a different installation location.
4. Using a fine – Plasterboard saw, carefully cut out each opening.
5. When finished cutting, remove plasterboard scrap from hole.
