Using a 2-3mm shim set (contact your Amina

the mounting surface of the backbox (or fixing
blocks), the front face of the speaker should be
flush with the front face of the existing painted/
plastered wall/ceiling

Allow a much larger area around the speaker
(approx. 1m (39”)) to be skimmed. This 1-2mm

the edges and blended into the existing wall/
