8 PMK IW and Back Can IW Quick Start Guide 9
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 aect the performance of the
loudspeaker.) Note: the EVA tape is required, even if the PMK kit is not used.

Create a continuous rectangle, with no gaps.

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
page 7).
2. Hold the PMK assembly onto the wall studs, 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 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.
