MUSICA ADD-A-ZONE systems are designed for ease of installation in both new

construction and existing structures. The typical In-wall/ In-ceiling speaker system and
accessories mounting technique is not difficult, and is well within the ability of the a

verage
do-it-yourself. Proper preparations are required beforehand, and vary greatly depending
on the building.

INSTALLING SPEAKERS AND ACCESSORIES

New Construction

The obvious advantage of installing In-wall / In-ceiling speakers and accessories during
new construction is that you are able to pre-wire to desired mounting locations. Once
framing is complete, decide roughly where your speakers/accessories are to be mounted,
and where the audio equipment will be located. Next, run the wire provided from the audio
equipment location to the stud bay where speakers will be mounted. When running A/V
wire or cable, it is recommended that you drill new holes for your wire, and not use ex

isting
power cable holes, as this may cause interference problems. It is also against building
codes in many areas.

Let a length of speaker lead hang freely in each stud bay. A stud bay is the term used by

contractors to describe the area between any two wall studs.

Installers Tip - Draw a diagram of the room and indicate the distance from the wires to the nearest
reference wall. This can make finding your cables much easier when you are ready to install the
actual speaker.

Old Construction

Installing a In-wall / In-ceiling speaker system and accessories can be a fairly simple task,
or can be somewhat involved depending on the building. For instance, if you want to run
a A/V cable or speaker leads from the basement to a second floor bedroom, pulling your
cable can require a great deal of patience, but will become less complicated for the average

do-it-yourselfer with each wire pulled!

Installers Note - If the structure is less than 50 years old, then walls are most likely made of
gypsum-based wallboard. This will be fairly easy to cut using a drill and keyhole saw or rotary cutter.
If your home is older, you may encounter plaster and lathe type walls construction. Cutting this type
or material can be tricky, and will require extra care as it is sometimes dry and bri

ttle.

STEP-BY-STEP TYPICAL IN-WALL / IN-CEILING INSTALLATION
STEP 1

Determine the location for your new speakers and accessories. Use a stud finder or
other reliable method to locate studs. Using the templates provided, trace hole positions
on surface of wall. Placing a bubble level on either the horizontal or vertical guidelines
template will assist you in leveling the hole pattern.

STEP 2

Cut the speaker/accessory mounting hole. Once you have located the wall studs, use
the supplied mounting template to trace the cutout hole. Before you actually cut the hole,
it is best to double-check all measurements. This helps to insure you won't be fixing any

*NOTA

El sistema Add-A-Zone viene con cable CL-3, pues hay muchos códigos de construcción y
de prevención de incendios que requieren cable CL-2, CL-3 o FT4. Consulte con el inspec
tor de edificios local antes de hacer el cableado previo.

C) Luego, encamine un cable de altavoz de dos conductores desde la caja de enchufe
hasta los altavoces correspondientes derecho e izquierdo. Marque los cables (IZQUIERDO)
y (DERECHO) y determine la polaridad de cada canal (positiva y negativa).

D) Corte el cable de acuerdo a eso y permita que sobresalga suficiente cable de la caja
de enchufe para conectarlo correctamente al control de volumen. (Se recomienda dejar un
exceso de 6 a 8 pulgadas de cable). Meta el cable en la caja de enchufe o en la pared para
evitar que se dañe durante la instalación de la pirca.

E) Meta en la pared el exceso de cable que haya dentro de la caja de enchufe o pliegue los
cables cuidadosamente cuando inserte el control de volumen en la caja. Coloque el control
de volumen de manera que el soporte delantero se alinee con los agujeros de montaje de la
caja. En algunos casos, el control de volumen MUSICA puede entrar muy ajustado y hacer
que sea necesario meterlo por el lado derecho de la caja de enchufe y luego desplazarlo
hasta la posición central.

*NOTA

En las modernizaciones, las placas de extensión de metal y las cajas de enchufe no reco­mendadas pueden requerir modificación sobre el terreno para que acepten el perfil más alto
y más profundo de las unidades.

F) Fije la unidad con los tornillos suministrados. Recomendamos aflojar los tornillos 1/4 de
vuelta para permitir un movimiento de 1/4 de pulgada de adelante hacia atrás y de lado a
lado. Esto permite que la placa delantera encaje al ras cuando se instale la cubierta.

G) Monte la cubierta y apriete los tornillos.

mistakes. If everything seems to be correct, then cutting can begin.

Installer Tip - By drilling a 1/2" hole in each corner (or in four evenly spaced locations for ceiling
speakers) of your template tracing, you can easily cut from hole to hole using a keyhole saw.

STEP 3

Run correct audio/video cable from source location to speaker/accessory locations. Be
sure to leave amount of wire at each location (8-10 inches) to complete connection. Install
mounting bracket or electrical box (not included) for proper installation.

For In-wall installation, you may be able to access the wall stud bay from the basement.

For In-ceiling installation, you can access the stud bay from the attic or crawl space abo
the room.
