Unpacking & Installing the P6i

Your new Wisdom Audio Insight Series P6i in-wall speaker is relative compact, 
but surprisingly massive compared to most in-wall speakers. Please exercise 
caution when unpacking your P6i to ensure that you do not strain yourself from 
its (perhaps unexpected) weight.

Simple installation instructions

1.  Use the included cardboard template to trace the outline of the 

hole for the speaker and carefully cut to the line.

2.  Carefully remove the magnetic grille, tipping it off from one side 

to the other (not from one end to the other), so as to avoid damag-
ing the grille. Set it aside, laying it flat.

3.  Unscrew and remove the speaker module itself (baffle plate, driv-

ers, crossover) from the UniGrip™ mounting system and carefully 
set it aside.

4. Remove one long clamping rail from the Uni-Grip™ mounting 

system, and loosen the other side. Angle the Uni-Grip into the 
cutout so the remaining clamping rail is sandwiching the wall, and 
snug it down lightly. Insert the removed clamping rail through the 
wall opening, and reattach it to the Uni-Grip. Check everything 
for plumb, and snug both rails down. 

5.  Push any insulation in the wall to the side. If there is no insula-

tion in the wall, loosely fill the stud bay with insulation to reduce 
cavity resonances and improve performance.

6. Using assistance to hold the speaker away from the wall, connect 

the speaker cable to the + and – connectors on the rear of the 
speaker, paying attention to proper polarity.

7. Screw the speaker module into the Uni-Grip frame.
8. Place the grille on the front of the speaker, registering it around 

the edges of the baffle. It is held magnetically and will gently snap 
into place.

Maximum wall thickness

The Uni-Grip system on the P6i can handle wall thicknesses of up to 1.25” (1

or 3.175cm). If you are planning a double-wall construction, you may use two

” layers. You may also consider using MDO (medium density overlay) ply-

wood, which is quite strong and has a smooth paper surface like gypsum board.
