SPEAKER PLACEMENT

The PowerPlane is designed to perform well in a variety of locations throughout the room. It can be mounted in walls,
ceilings, or in an enclosed cabinet. Because of the coaxial/coplanar driver mounting, the PowerPlane can be oriented both
horizontally or vertically. For optimum performance, the PowerPlane should not be placed very near room corners or where
furniture may obstruct the speaker’s output.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

It is important that the PowerPlane be mounted securely to prevent unwanted vibration, therefore mounting only to the wall
material, like drywall, is not recommended. The PowerPlane is designed to fit easily into walls with standard 16" stud
spacing so that the speaker is ultimately secured to the framing studs. Suggested wall installation instructions for standard
walls are shown below. For vertical speaker mounting, adapters can be ordered from THIEL to help secure the speaker to
the studs.

HORIZONTAL MOUNTING

Step One

Place the provided cutting template
on the desired wall position and
secure with removable tape. The
template has guide marks to assist
with leveling.

Step Two Step Three

Cut out the wall opening using the
template’s guide marks.

Place the PowerPlane into the wall
opening, level, and secure to the wall
studs with the four provided
#6 mounting screws.
