EXISTING CONSTRUCTION
Remove the grille from the
speaker frame by pulling on the
paper tab. If the tab is missing,
to avoid scratching the grille or
baffle you may unfold a paper
clip, insert the straight end
through one of the holes in the
grille, and gently pull up.
Determine the correct speaker
location.
Note: Remove the inner tem-
plate, which is the paint shield,
at the perforation. Use the outer
template when cutting the dry-
wall. Although the HTI55 may
be oriented either horizontally
or vertically, the installation
procedure is the same.

Cut the drywall.
Connect the speaker wires
to the speaker.
Replace the metal grille. For the
HTI55 only, attach the JBL logo
to the grille to correspond to
vertical or horizontal installation.
Place the frame assembly
in the wall.
Screw down each of the four
(six for HTI55) Phillips head
screws. The locking tabs will
swivel into place and secure
the unit to the rear surface of
the drywall.
The HTI speakers feature
unique swivel mounts for the
tweeters that enable you to
aim the very directional high
frequencies toward the
listening position, at ear-level
height. Before installing the
speaker grille, gently press on
the outer edge of the tweeter
mount to adjust the position of
the tweeter. The tweeter will
not swivel more than 15
degrees in any direction; do
not attempt to force it to move
further. You may also rotate the
tweeter to orient the JBL logo
as desired.
