SPEAKER PLACEMENT
INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: BEFORE COMMENCING ANY WORKS, DETERMINE YOUR PRIMARY
LISTENING POSITION. IF YOU ARE UNSURE SEEK HELP FROM AN AV INSTALLER
FOR OPTIMUM RESULTS.
2 SPEAKER PLACEMENT
In an ideal scenario, the two speakers should be spaced equally apart from the primary listening
position. Where posible, place the speakers approx 3” / 1m from the wall
4 SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Ideally, the two speakers to the front and two speakers to the rear should be spaced equally apart
from the primary listening position to provide balanced listening experience. Where posible, place
the speakers approx 3” / 1m from the wall.
IMPORTANT: BEFORE COMMENCING ANY ELECTRICAL WORK ENSURE
THE SUPPLY IS SWITCHED OFF AT THE MAINS. IF YOU ARE UNSURE HOW TO
FIT SEEK HELP FROM A PROFESSIONAL ELECTRICIAN / AV INSTALLER
1. Mark out the position of the speaker using a
tape measure and mark using a pencil with the
template supplied. Check using a stud nder to
make sure no obstruction is present prior to
cutting.
3. Connect a 110V/240V feed into the Power
Driver. Check Live, Neutral and Earth cables are
in correct terminals. Use xing holes to screw to
joists. Ensure cables are tight and cover is in place.
2. Drill a pilot hole and cut the speaker hole
using a cutting saw. Take caution when
cutting to keep fi ngers away from cutting
blade and wear protective eyewear.
4. Insert speaker into the ceiling then using a
screwdriver lock the 4 dog leg xings to secure
the speaker in place, do not over tighten.

PAINTING THE SPEAKER GRILLE
Do not paint the speaker grilles whilst attached to the speaker. Lithe Audio reccomends spray
painting using 5 parts thinning agent to 1 part paint. Spray thinly to ensure speaker cover grille holes
are not blocked as this will effect the sound quality of the speakers.
NOTE: For optimal sound when using speaker in vaulted ceilings switch the environmental equaliser
switch to +3dB, when using speakers in a tiled environment (Bathroom) switch equaliser to -3dB.
INSTALLATIONS IN FIRE-RATED CEILINGS
If you plan to mount your speakers in a re-rated ceiling, you should purchase a re hood for the
speaker. Visit www.litheaudio.com for more information and reccomended hoods.
