Back Can Installation
WARNING: This procedure requires the use of personal protection equipment, such as safety glasses and gloves.
WARNING: To avoid potential damage to your loudspeaker, ensure that the power amplier is switched OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting any cables.
WARNING: Make sure that there are no power lines, other cables, or plumbing such as water, sewer, gas lines in the chosen location.
The Back Can IW is an optional Back Can that can be used for the PCI 5DC IW, PCI 6DC IW, and the QCI 6DC IW in-wall loudspeakers.
The procedure below describes the installation of the Back Can into a typical 2" x 4" stud wall with 16" centers, with drywall/plasterboard not yet installed.
After the Back Can and drywall is installed, the PCI 5DC IW, PCI 6DC IW, and the QCI 6DC IW in-wall loudspeakers can be wired and installed, and the paint mask added
during
wall painting and finishing.
Procedure
Follow the procedure steps below in the order in which they are presented. Read all the
instructions before starting.
1. Locate a suitable mounting position for the loudspeaker that will oer optimum
acoustic performance for the listening environment and audio system, and that is
also practical and aesthetically pleasing.
2. Carefully move the Back Can to the chosen location between the wall studs, and
lift it to the desired height, allowing enough room for the speaker wire to enter the
cable gland (Fig. 1).
3. Make sure that the Back Can is plumb and level, then attach the Back Can to the
wall studs using 5 screws or nails per stud.
Fig. 1. Install the Back Can between the studwork
Optional Pre-Mount Kit Installation
Two optional Pre-Mount Kits are available:
• The PMK 5 IW is used with the PCI 5DC IW wall-mount loudspeaker
• The PMK 6 IW is used with the PCI 6DC IW and QCI 6DC wall-mount loudspeakers
These provide a rectangular surround for a strong mounting surface for the clamping
mechanism of the loudspeaker, and they make it easier to install the drywall.
The PMK kits can be used with or without the Back Can.
The procedure below describes the installation of the PMK 6 IW pre-mount kit
into a Back Can that has been installed into the wall studs and wired following the
procedure shown on the previous page. The installation of the PMK 5 IW pre-mount
kit is otherwise identical.
Preparing the PMK Pre-Mount Kit
1. Each pre-mount kit consists of two mounting brackets, a rectangular frame, and
four small clips that help secure the brackets to the frame.
2. Attach the mounting brackets to the top and bottom (shortest sides) of the
rectangular frame (Fig. 3). Press the four clips in place, to hold the brackets in
position
3. The PMK kit can also be used without the Back Can, in which case, the mounting
brackets are connected to the longer sides of the frame (Fig. 4).

Wiring the Back Can
WARNING: To avoid potential damage to your loudspeaker, ensure that the amplifier
is switched OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting any cables.
The speaker wire connections are made to the cable entry gland into the Back Can. A
loop is provided to secure the cable before it enters the cable gland.
1. Loop the speaker wire once around the provided cable loop, and pass the cable
through the cable gland and into the Back Can (Fig. 2) and past the acoustic foam
inside the Back Can. Leave enough slack to make the connections when that time
comes. Tighten the cable gland, and tie down the speaker cable to prevent it
moving and rattling in operation. Make sure that the speaker cable does not come
into contact with nails or screws that might damage the electrical insulation.

Installing the PMK into the Back Can
1. Hold the PMK assembly onto the Back Can, with the rectangular lip of the frame
pointing outwards, into the room (Fig. 5).
2. Make sure the PMK assembly is centered, plumb, and level. Secure it to the
Back Can using the four screws, and using the existing holes at the top and bottom
of the Back Can (Fig. 6).
3. Apply adhesive EVA tape around the front of the Back Can/PMK assembly as shown
(Fig. 6b). We recommend EVA tape width 65 mm, thickness 3 mm, or similar. Note:
Make sure that there are no gaps between the vertical and horizontal lengths of
tape, so it is a continuous rectangle. (Any gaps may aect the performance of the
loudspeaker.) Note: the EVA tape is required, even if the PMK kit is not used.

Installing the PMK without the Back Can
If you are not using the Back Can, then there are two ways you can use the PMK kits:
PMK Option 1
1. Cut and add two pieces of 2x4 wood, horizontally as shown in Fig. 7, and nail and
glue them securely in place to the vertical wall studs.
2. Hold the PMK assembly in place, with the rectangular lip of the frame pointing
outwards, into the room.
3. Make sure the PMK assembly is centered, plumb, and level. Secure it to the
horizontal pieces using four screws (Fig. 7).
4. Run speaker wire to this location. Leave enough slack to make the connections
when that time comes. Tie down the speaker cable to prevent it moving and
rattling in operation. Make sure that the speaker cable does not come into contact
with nails or screws that might damage the electrical insulation.
PMK Option 2
1. Assemble the PMK with the mounting brackets attached to the longer sides of
the PMK frame and then attach the PMK to the vertical wall studs. (See Fig. 4 on
pag e 7).

2. Hold the PMK assembly onto the wall studs, with the rectangular lip of the frame

3. Make sure the PMK assembly is centered, plumb, and level. Secure it to the wall
studs using four woodscrews.
4. Run speaker wire to this location (Fig. 8). Leave enough slack to make the
connections when that time comes. Tie down the speaker cable to prevent it
moving and rattling in operation. Make sure that the speaker cable does not come
into contact with nails or screws that might damage the electrical insulation.

Installing the Drywall
1. The installation of drywall around the PMK location is best done using a single
large sheet with the vertical center line centered over the PMK vertical centerline
(Fig. 9).
2. If you want to cut the drywall aperture before installation, use the PMK aperture
as a guide. Step 5 below describes cutting after the installation. Use whichever
method you prefer.
3. Use adhesive on the wall studs and the front face of the Back Can (if used), and
install the drywall using drywall screws approximately 8 to 10 inches apart. This
will help prevent wall rattling and drywall movement and noises during operation.
If the loudspeaker is being installed on an interior wall, then adhesive and ex tra
screws may also be added to the drywall used in the room behind the loudspeaker.
4. Note: Before adding any drywall screws where the metal Back Can is installed, drill
small pilot holes into the metal of the Back Can.
5. After the drywall installation, carefully cut out the hole in the drywall with a
suitable handtool, using the inside aperture of the PMK as a guide (Fig. 10 and 11).
Be careful not to cut the speaker wires or cut into the Back Can acoustic foam.
Make sure the drywall aperture is no larger than the inside aperture of the PMK
frame. Remove any dust or debris from within the Back Can.
6. The PCI 5DC IW, PCI 6DC IW, and QCI 6DC IW quick start guide includes the
procedures for installing the loudspeakers into the wall apertures.

F
ollow the procedure steps below in the order in which they are presented. Read all
the instructions before starting.
1. In the position of the Back Can, add the supplied template to the wall, centered
exactly on the center of the Back Can IW, and in the Portrait Orientation.
2. Using the template, carefully cut out a hole in the drywall using a suitable
handtool. Be careful not to damage the Back Can IW, its acoustic foam, or the
speaker wires. Remove any dust and debris from the hole (Fig. 13 and 14).
