NEW CONSTRUCTION BRACKETS
for Boston Acoustics Designer Series Ceiling Mount Speakers
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The New Construction Bracket is a mounting frame to simplify the installation of Boston Acoustics Designer speakers.
Because the bracket is mounted prior to the wallboard installation, it allows the installer to pick locations free from
obstructions. The bracket attaches to exposed joists or beams and provides a guide for the wallboard installer. It can
be used in ceilings and walls.

*Behind the wall there must be 1 inch (25.4mm) clearance around the mounting hole.
New Construction Installation (Wall or Ceiling Mount):
1. Determine the desired mounting orientation of the studs or beams.
2. The bracket may be mounted with the flange pointed either towards the wall or towards the room.
*
*
a. When the flange is pointing towards the wall, the wallboard can be laid flat to the mounted bracket. The
bracket forms a template for cutting the wallboard. The finished opening should align with the bracket opening.
b. When the flange is pointed towards the room, the wallboard needs to be measured and cut prior to
installation. The finished opening should align with the edges of the new construction bracket’s flange.
3. Select two wings opposite each other. Using nails or drywall screws, attach the two wings to the joists or studs
so that the wings are 90° to the bracket. There will be some play in the bracket to allow for minor adjustments or
leveling.
4. Attach the remaining wings at an angle. This will lock the bracket into position.
5. Bend "speaker wire tie-down tab" inwards, and secure to speaker wire with a cable tie.
6. Cut off excess wing or bend it into the empty stud bay.

COVER PLATE
for Boston Acoustics Designer Series Ceiling Mount Speakers
The Cover Plate is a blank plate that covers a pre-cut hole for the installation of a Boston Acoustics Designer Series
ceiling-mount speaker. The Cover Plate may also be used with a Boston Acoustics New Construction Bracket.
The Cover Plate can be painted or wall papered to match the wall or ceiling color.
The Cover Plate is ideal when:
1. A house has been pre-wired and the speakers have not yet been purchased.
2. The user moves and wants to take the speakers with them.
3. An installation has been delayed and a temporary cover is needed.
Installation:
1. Loosely attach the bracket bar to the Cover Plate as shown with provided screws.
2. Bring bar to a minimum 2’’ gap (or as necessary to just fit over wall-board).
3. Insert the Cover Plate and bracket assembly into the opening as shown.
4. Tighten the screws, compressing the bar and Cover Plate to the ceiling. Do not over tighten.
