PREPARING FOR
INSTALLATION
If you are installing LST speakers into an
existing wall, take time to consider any
possible obstructions, which may be hidden
inside the wall: studs, electrical wiring,
telephone wiring, plumbing, AC or heating
conduit and ductwork.
Determine the best mounting locations
based on the room layout. Before cutting
any holes, make sure the area behind both
speakers is clear for installation. Speakers
provide the best coverage, when centered
in the wall. Choose a suitable mounting
height, and then line up both speakers
approximately the same distance from the
sidewall and ceiling boundaries.
If you are installing the speakers into a new
construction wall, follow the above
recommendations and install the new
construction speaker bracket.
Label the speakers wires at the
amplifier location.

INSTALLATION
Installation Existing
Construction:
1. Using your stud locator, identify the
location of the studs on each side of the
proposed speaker mounting location.
2. Mark their edges, using masking tape.
3. Repeat this process for the other
speakers.
4. You may have to adjust the speaker
mounting locations based on how
symmetrical the studs are located, in the
wall space.
5. Check for clearance using the following
method.
a. Drill a 1/4” pilot hole in the center of the
intended speaker location.
b. Cut a foot-long piece of coat hanger.
c. Bend the wire, creating a right angle,
leaving 4-1/4” at one end.
d. Poke the “L-shaped” wire into the pilot
hole and turn it in a complete circle,
checking for obstructions.
e. Push it into the wall cavity to make
sure you have approximately 4” of
depth.
f. If the coat hanger movement is
obstructed by anything, fill the hole(s)
with spackle and try another location
