2. System Design/Applications
ATON In-Wall speakers are designed primarily to be installed in wall composed of drywall, but it
is possible to install them in other materials. Prior to installation, it is essential to determine the
type of application, and, therefore, the placement of the speakers in the wall. There are two typical applications that ATON In-Wall speakers will be used for: Stereo and Home Theater.
Stereo
In areas that have a defi ned listening area where two speakers will be mounted more or less
equidistant from each other, use a stereo setup with left and right speakers each connected
to their own channel of a stereo receiver or amplifi er. This application provides the best sound
quality, staging, and depth possible in areas with a defi ned listening position. Figure 2.1 shows
an example of a stereo listening area.

Home Theater
ATON IN-wall Speakers provide unobtrusive, high-quality Home Theater sound when installed in
the correct locations. It is critical to identify the primary listening position before installation! See
Figure 2.2 for a system design utilizing in-wall speakers with an active subwoofer and Figure 2.3
for a system design utilizing In-wall speakers and passive in-wall subwoofers (A82SW).

3. Installation
The Installation process is divided into three distinct processes: Wiring, Mounting and Set-
ting Switches.
Mono/Stereo, Home Theater, etc.), specifi c mounting locations can be decided upon. Once the
specifi c locations are determined, installation can commence.
Wiring
Before actually running any wire or cable, take the time to look around each room or area of the
house and plan your wire paths for maximum effi ciency. Look for routes through uncluttered
parts of the stud wall or ceiling that allow you to group all low-voltage (video, speaker wires,
Cat-5, telephone, etc.) wires wherever possible. It is a good practice to label both ends of all
cables and to protect wires by tying a plastic bag over the ends.
