Ceiling mount instructions
1 Determine where you want to mount the speakers. The speakers must
be mounted in areas where there are no obstructions like studs (joists).
Tap the ceiling to nd a “hollow” space, or use a stud nder to locate
the studs.
Note: Make sure that your speaker wires are long enough to run from
the speakers to your audio equipment. If you plan to run the speaker
wires through the walls or ceiling, the wires must be UL or CL rated to
ensure your safety and to meet building code compliance.
2 Position the cardboard mounting
template on the ceiling where you want
to mount a speaker, then trace around
the template.
3 Drill a small hole in the center of the
template outline you drew on the
ceiling.
4 Bend a piece of coat hanger wire, then
insert the wire into the hole. Slowly
rotate the wire to check for any
obstructions. If you nd an obstruction,
patch the hole and nd a new location
for the speaker.
5 Using a keyhole or drywall saw,
carefully cut the ceiling section you
outlined, then remove the section.
6 Run the wires from the speaker outputs
on your audio equipment to your
speakers. Allow a few extra feet of wire
so you will have enough wire to easily
connect the speaker before mounting it
to the ceiling.
Note: Use high quality wire such as 16
gauge speaker wire.
Mount the speakers 6-10
feet apart. Each speaker
should be the same
distance from the listening
area. For detailed mounting
instructions, see “Ceiling
mount instructions.”
Mount the
speakers 6-10
feet apart and
3-6 feet behind
the listening
area. For
detailed mounting instructions,
see “Ceiling mount instructions.”
