INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: NOTE THAT THIS MANUAL IS WRITTEN
WITH THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE INSTALLER
POSSESSES SKILL IN THE PROPER USE OF HAND
AND POWER TOOLS, AND IS FAMILIAR WITH THE
ENVIRONMENT BEHIND THE SURFACE OF THE
WALL OR CEILING WHERE THE SPEAKERS WILL
BE INSTALLED.

TO INSTALL:

1. Select speaker mounting location. Route

speaker cable from source to this location.
Note: We recommend the use of 16/2 (minimum)
class 3 speaker wires.

2. Attach wings to back plate of Pre-Construction

Bracket (refer to Figures 1A and 1B). Only two
wings are required for each back plate. Select
the mounting arrangement that best suites
your specific application. Note: The wings are
designed to be shortened as required.

3. Attach the Pre-Construction Bracket in the

desired location to the underside of framing
members so that after drywall installation,
the bracket and the wings are sandwiched
between the drywall and the framing member
(ensure “FRONT” is facing into the room) (refer to
Figures 1A and 1B). If the mounting area is too
congested to use both mounting wings you can
drive screws through the back plate directly into
the framing member.

4. Loop the speaker wire and attach it to the wire

management loops on the back of the bracket.

5. After drywall installation install speakers in

holes provided by drywall installer. Follow
instructions included in speaker packaging.
