Before Installation

1. Determine the location for the speaker.

2. Perform an obstruction survey using a stud nder to be

certain that there are no obstructions.

3. Position the included cutout template where the speaker is
to be located and pencil an outline on the wall. The cut-out
for the R1C and R1CSUR is 13 25/32” x 13 25/32” x 7 9/16”
(350mm x 350mm x 192mm).

4. Cut the mounting hole using a keyhole or drywall saw and
run the speaker wires from the mounting hole to the

amplier location.

NOTE: CONSULT LOCAL BUILDING CODES BEFORE RUNNING
SPEAKER WIRES THROUGH WALLS.

Installation

Sonance Reference Series speakers feature an integral RotoLock®
mounting system for quick mounting directly into existing walls.

1. Strip 1/4” – 1/2” (6mm – 12mm) of insulation from each
speaker lead.

2. Twist the strands or tin the exposed wire with solder to
ensure that there are no stray strands.

3. The R1C and R1CSUR in-ceiling speakers come with a safety
retention mount on the back of the speaker. To ensure safety,
loop a lanyard through the safety retention mount bracket and
secure the other end to the ceiling joist (see Figure 1).
