SpeakerCraft 10 Speaker User Manual


 
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Cinema Sub In-Wall Subwoofer! The Cinema Sub will provide the excellent per-
formance and reliability that SpeakerCraft products have been recognized for. The Cinema Sub delivers the room-filling,
thundering bass demanded by today’s home theater systems, while remaining completely recessed in the wall behind a
flush mounted grille. The performance of high power, floor standing subwoofers has finally come to architectural speakers.
SpeakerCraft is the name you can trust for accurate sound reproduction.

SYSTEM DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
2
In new construction, we highly recommend using the Accutune box that matches your subwoofer. It has been designed
to acoustically compliment the subwoofer and eliminate the acoustic problems caused by drywall, by providing a solid
enclosure to which the subwoofer will be attached. Please contact your authorized SpeakerCraft dealer for further infor-
mation.
The Subwoofer should be mounted low on the wall, free from obstructions. The lower you mount it, the louder the bass will
be.
For retrofit applications every practical effort should be made to eliminate possible noise on or inside the wall surrounding
this subwoofer. Steps must be taken to ensure that the wall and anything attached to the wall, in which the Cinema Sub is
mounted, is secure. We recommend not hanging anything directly over the Cinema Sub. If there is no way around it, steps
will need to be taken to ensure that pictures, mirrors, shelves, etc. do not vibrate on the wall. The use of rubber grommets,
adhesive tape, extra mounting screws, or foam padding will help in these types of applications.
In addition to our AcoustaCell system (part # ASMX3101) we recommend using acoustical spray foam instead of insulation
in the bays that surround the Cinema Sub. The foam will be able to get into all those small gaps and will absorb most of the
vibration from the subwoofer. If foam is not available, stuff the wall with as much insulation as possible. Using adhesive foam
strips between the stud and drywall is also an option that could be used to help keep the drywall from vibrating on the studs.
In addition, extra drywall screws can be used to secure the drywall to the studs.
