Storm Series In-wall Speakers
Pre-Wiring
The audio/speaker cable runs should be routed from the head-end location (where the amplifi er
or A/V Receiver is located) to the speaker rough-in brackets (if used). At the speaker locations,
securely fasten the speaker wire to the speaker rough-in bracket. If not using speaker rough-in
brackets, staple speaker wire runs in a loose zigzag between the studs where the speaker is
to be mounted to make it easier to fi nd the cable after the drywall is installed. Zig-zagging the
cable also allows fl exibility in the placement of the speaker.
Note: Do not run speaker wires closer than 12" from high voltage wires.

Mounting
Two situations that can exist when mounting In-wall speakers:
• Pre-Construction - Installations that occur in new homes being built and in remodel
situations where walls and/or ceilings will be exposed.
• Retro-Fit - Installation that involve existing homes with walls and ceilings fi nished.
While the end result of either type of installation is similar, the process is quite different.
Pre-Construction
In a pre-construction installation, walls and ceilings are open with no drywall installed. This is
desirable and allows the installer much greater access than in retro-fi t applications. ATON model
BK6W Rough-In Brackets are specifi cally designed to work with models A60W, A61W and A62W
while model BK8W Rough-In Brackets are designed to work with A82W and A82SW speakers.
Rough-in Brackets should be used whenever possible to reserve a neat hole in the drywall,
ensuring proper placement of speakers and making trim-out and fi nal installation neat and
organized.
