NEW CONSTRUCTION
If you wish to preinstall a rough-in bracket before the
drywall is installed, you will need to purchase the correct
rough-in bracket kit for your loudspeaker model. Detailed
instructions are supplied with the rough-in kit.
INSTALLATION
IW70/IW90 IN-WALL
LOUDSPEAKERS
To add the IW70/IW90 in-wall loudspeakers to finished
construction, proceed with the following instructions.
CAUTION!
Ensure that all audio-system
power is off before beginning
the installation.
1. Remove the plastic
paint shield from the
speaker frame.
2. Determine the correct
speaker location and
use the template
included in the packing
materials and a level
to mark the drywall.
Always allow at least
1/2" between the wall
stud and the speaker
cutout or the locking tabs will not have the space to
swivel into place.
3. Ensure that the drywall, plywood or other appropriate
wallboard is at least 1/2" thick and capable of
withstanding the weight of the speaker being installed.
Cut the drywall along the speaker template marks
made in Step 2.
