C. When possible keep the speakers at least two feet away from any corner or meeting
of the wall and ceiling.
D. NOTE: These are only recommendations; your specific room application will
determine the final height and placement of the surround speaker mounting.
2. Speaker Installation
A. Once the rough speaker locations have been identified, use the supplied cutout
template, and mark the cutout lines in pencil. Before cutting into the wall/ceiling,
check the speaker location for any obstruction in the wall/ceiling that may not be
visible, this should be done with a ‘stud-finder’ device.
B. Trim off approximately 3/8” [9 mm] of speaker wire insulation to expose bare
conductors. Connect the speaker wires to the corresponding positive (Red) and
negative (Black) speaker terminals.
C. Using a #2 Philips Screwdriver tighten the dog-leg clamps. Tighten screws in a star
pattern, alternating sides. Be careful not to over tighten as this may damage the
wall surface or speaker.
3. Painting Grilles
A. When painting the A.I.R. Grilles, remove the grille and trim ring assembly from the
speaker and paint separately.
B. The fabric scrim coating should be gently removed from the grille and set aside before
painting and replaced after drying is complete. DO NOT get paint on the speaker
baffle or drive units. Paint can damage the components which would VOID
your Warranty.
C. Paint with a spray application. Using compressed air will help to avoid excess paint
from collecting and blocking the mesh. The grille is powdercoated steel and the trim
is PVC.
