The new-construction brackets are designed to enable installers to
identify and preserve the installation location of in-ceiling speakers
before the drywall is hung.
The brackets feature interlocking flanges (wings) which connect to the
bracket frame and enable the speakers to be mounted in almost any
position.
DAMPING THE WALL CAVITY
The performance of your speakers will be enhanced by using flame-
resistant fiberglass insulation to dampen the wall or ceiling cavity
around and behind the speakers.
Doing so will reduce the transmission of sound into adjacent rooms or
floors while enhancing the speaker's bass response by deadening the
sound waves emanating from the rear of the woofers.
MOUNTING THE NEW-CONSTRUCTION BRACKETS
1. Decide on the installation location for your speakers. NOTE:
Be
sure the locations you choose are clear of high-voltage wiring,
piping, or other obstructions.
2. Attach the bracket flanges to the bracket frame as shown in Figure 1.
NOTE: Make sure the dimpled side of the flange faces OUT and
interlocks with the frame from the rear.
3. Once the flanges have been attached to the frame, secure the
bracket assembly to the wall studs or ceiling joists with flat-head
screws or heavy-duty staples. See Figure 2.
4. You may choose to have the drywall contractors CAREFULLY and
ACCURATELY cut the speaker holes for you using a routing tool or
similar device. Discuss this with them prior to doing the work to
ensure good results. NOTE: The bracket frames are constructed
of heavy-duty ABS plastic but are not unbreakable – ALWAYS
USE CAUTION.
5. After the drywall is up and the holes are cut, you may choose to
give the speaker frame and speaker grille to the painter for painting
(see the H480-2 speaker manual for painting instructions).
