In-wall Speakers
Step 1. Speaker mounting rings are used in the
pre-construction phase of speaker installation
during construction of new homes and additions.
WG Series mounting rings are designed to
provide drywall installers the correct cut-out
pattern for the speakers. The rings have “flaps”
that are nailed/screwed/stapled onto the studs.
See figure 8.
Once the wall board
is installed, the
opening is cut out
and the speaker
frame is inserted
into the mounting
ring.
When installing the
mounting ring, note
that there are holes
molded into the
mounting ring for
speaker wire tie-off.
TIPS FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION
• Use a small level to verify that the mounting
ring is straight.
• If possible, run speaker wires after AC
wiring is in place to avoid additional noise
caused by close proximity of wiring.
• Secure the speaker wires against a stud with
insulated staples, being careful not to pierce
the wire insulation. Allow slack for building
material expansion.
• Horizontal wire runs should be routed through
holes drilled at equal heights in the studs.
