Our speaker systems have been designed to deliver exceptional sound and value. We hope you like what you hear from them, and are happy with your decision to buy them. [. . . ] The System 10 LCR speaker can be easily mounted in most any standard wall material, from 1/2 to 1 1/2 inches (12 to 38 mm) thick. Its rotating wall clamps firmly fix it to the wall surface after the proper cutout has been made. Here are some important precautions to take before mounting: Keep the sides of the actual mounting hole at least 1 inch (25 mm) away from beams or studs. The clamps require 3/4 of an inch (19 mm) to rotate, and a stud or other obstruction that's too close will stop them from properly doing their job. Wall cavity size will effect the bass and midrange performance of any in-wall speaker. The System 10 LCR is designed to play optimally in a 0. 5 to 1. 25 cubic foot space (864 to 2160 cu. inches, measured before wall insulation is inserted). Cubic dimensions can be determined by multiplying the length x width x height of the cavity. A larger cavity won't hurt, but a smaller one will definitely impact the bass and midrange response of the system. Some of the sound from the speaker will transmit to the space on the other side of the wall cavity. If this is a major concern, you can build a box within the wall that provides the required cubic volume. The larger the volume, the better the bass response will be, up to 1. 25 cubic feet. Beyond this size there will be no effective performance gain. Also please note that there is very little room behind the drivers in a standard "2 x 4" wall cavity (1/4 inch, 6 mm), so the back of any enclosure box must be made from relatively thin materials, yet it should not physically contact the back wall. Typically then, the back wall material will be roughly 1/8 to 1/4 inch (3 to 6 mm) thick. Insulate the speaker cavity with fiberglass wool, observing all the relevant precautions and instructions from the insulation manufacturer. If you have built a back box, you can use common fiberfill (available at craft stores as pillow stuffing), or fiberglass in the enclosure. Be sure to push the insulation back from the drivers to ensure that it doesn't get into the moving cone area. Ceiling Mounting It is especially important when mounting the speaker in a ceiling that you cover the back of the system with a fiberglass window screening (available at any home center or hardware store) to keep insulation and other foreign matter out of the assembly. You also should install safety wires from the rear of the assembly to a secure mounting place, like adjacent beams or the floor above, for added security. Should you be installing System 10 speakers in a suspended ceiling, it is imperative to install safety wires from the speaker to the support structure above, to ensure security under all conditions. Installation of System 10 LCR in New Construction Atlantic Technology offers an optional Rough-in Frame Kit to ease installation in new construction. Instructions for its use are included with this kit. The kit's model nomenclature is IN-NC-10 Installation of System 10 LCR in Existing Construction Remove and Installing the Grille Remove the grille from the speaker using an awl or the point of a drywall screw in a grille opening near one of the grille corners. [. . . ] Markings typically consist of a thread within one conductor, printing on the wire's insulation, a ridge or ridges on the insulation, or a flat side to the insulation. Carefully position the speaker assembly into the wall cutout and Installation Bracket. Check that it's level and then attach the speaker to the Installation Bracket with the included 3 inch #6 self-tapping screws. (If the assembly is not level, you can oversize the wall opening very slightly to allow straightening the bracket and speaker. ) Step 6. [. . . ]
