Congratulations!
You have purchased Phoenix Gold’s all-new SnapSound audiophile-grade in-wall speakers.
These are the highest quality, best sounding, and easiest to install systems available today. The
SnapSound speaker family is designed with easy-to-mount snap-in cam locks to facilitate a fast
and simple install. The entire SnapSound family of in-ceiling and in-wall speakers is timbrematched to ensure that no matter what combination of speakers you choose, they will be voicematched and blend well with one another. These speakers are perfect for everything from a music
source in the kitchen, to a full surround theater system. As a result, it is important to us that the
speakers sound as good as they look. To ensure this, we use the latest computer assisted
engineering (CAE/FEA/CAD/CAM) to design them. We recommend that you read this manual
thoroughly to ensure proper installation, and also suggest you keep this manual, along with your
receipt, in a safe and secure location for future reference.
Unpacking
1. Remove all packaging and verify the condition of each speaker and grille. If there is
damage from transit, please contact the shipper immediately. Phoenix Gold is not
responsible for shipping damage. Any shipping damage should be noted on bill of lading
upon receipt.
2. Keep shipping cartons and packaging should the need arise to return the speakers for any
reason. This will ensure safe return shipment.
3. Verify that all components are present and ready to install.
Planning the Installation
When exploring possible locations for installation, keep the following points in mind:
1. Due to the speaker’s in-ceiling design, you will need to ensure that there is no stud or joist
behind your desired cutout location. Additionally, make sure there is no HVAC, plumbing,
or electrical pipes, conduit, etc that might obstruct your installation.
2. The maximum wall thickness for the cams to lock the speaker securely and properly in
place is 5/8” wallboard. If the thickness of your mounting surface exceeds 5/8 inch, call
Phoenix Gold Tech Support at 503.286.9300 for a solution.
3. For the best stereo imaging, place the speakers no more than 8-10 feet apart, and
approximately the same distance from each other as from the ideal listening position.
4. Ensure that your speaker wire can be run to the areas you have designated for your
speaker before cutting any holes.
5. Try to avoid placing speakers close to adjacent walls, i.e.- leave 2 to 3 feet of space
between the speaker’s location and the wall nearest to it.
6. All wall mounted speakers should have the tweeter at approximately ear level in height for
best results.
