New Construction
When installing the MT8 into a newly built wall, please follow these instructions carefully:
1. Determine placement
Determine where in the wall the speakers will be placed, using the recommendations
under
“SPEAKER PLACEMENT”
on pages 6-7. Pay careful attention to the section on
avoiding obstructions.
2. Mount Installock
™
Bracket
For best results, mount the SpeakerCraft InstaLLock
™
New Construction Bracket for
the MT8 (Part No. BKT90685) following the instructions included with the bracket.
(See Figure 3)
3. AcoustaCell
™
Considerations
While mounting the AcoustaCell
™
system may be done at this time, it is not neces
-
sary. The system is designed to mount quickly and easily at the time of final speaker
installation, using the instructions under
“ACOUSTACELL
™
INSTALLATION”
on page
12. The AcoustaCell
™
wings on the MT8 InstaLLock
™
Bracket will assure that the
AcoustaCell
™
fits exactly into place. AcoustaCell
™
should only be mounted at this time
if there is an obstruction that would prevent the proper placement at the time of
final installation.
4. The location is Ready for Drywall
The bracket provides a stable opening around which the drywall installer can
cut out an opening, providing a perfect location for installation of the MT8 and
AcoustaCell
™
system.
