IMPORTANT FACTS
The ELiTE-CFS is marketed as a turnkey product. The pricing includes engineering, materials, and complete installation.
Auralex is committed to doing everything possible to keep the ELiTE-CFS easy to quote and easy to sell. There are, however,
a few responsibilities that must be handled on the dealer level to ensure that the process goes smoothly and efficiently. Please
make sure you have a complete understanding of these points when quoting the system, and coordinating the installation. Of
course, if you have any questions, feel free to check with the ELiTE team by calling 800-708-3348.
Preparation
1. Drawings: An accurate installation starts with good drawings. Our Engineering Department creates plans for the installers
which show every detail of the system. For best results, the dealer should provide us with complete plans of the room, ideally
in AutoCAD
® format. This allows us to detail the installation based on original plans. If CAD drawings are not available, please
discuss in advance how Auralex will receive accurate drawings. Plans should indicate type and placement of all A/V equipment
and furniture. It is imperative that Auralex has all of the necessary information to create perfect jobsite drawings. Installation will
not be scheduled until drawings are complete and approved by the dealer.
2. Photos: In order for Auralex to fully understand the characteristics of the room, a full set of photos should be submitted
as early on in the process as is feasible. The preferred format is digital files (jpg, gif, tif, bmp, eps) sent by E-mail to eliteinfo@
auralex.com. To minimize confusion, file names should be changed to describe each shot, for instance “eastwall.jpg”, or
“northwestcornerdetail.bmp”. This provides the highest level of accuracy for engineering purposes. If a digital camera is not
available, standard photographic prints may be sent, with details noted on the back.
3. Site survey: The dealer should be familiar with the jobsite, and inspect it carefully in regard to the items shown on the
previous page, “DETAILS, DETAILS...”. It should be clear how all of these issues apply to the job in question. Any questions or
concerns should be relayed to the ELiTE team in a timely fashion.
4. Pre-Installation Checklist: The dealer is responsible for completing a checklist and submitting it to Auralex prior to the
installation date. It will be E-mailed or faxed to the dealer, and returned via fax to Auralex at (317)585-2995.
Materials Handling
In order to ensure that ELiTE-CFS materials are at the jobsite when needed, they will generally be shipped to the dealer in
advance, then delivered to the jobsite by the dealer. This allows delivery to be timed correctly, and gives the dealer an opportunity
to inspect the site along with the ELiTE installer.
NOTE: Shipping costs are paid by the dealer, as part of the final payment, and
this expense should be considered when quoting the job to the customer. Auralex will make every effort to ship materials via the
least expensive carrier, at least one week prior to installation. Delays in shipment due to incomplete or inaccurate information,
change orders, or other problems, will likely result in quicker, more expensive, shipping arrangements.
Misc. Support
ELiTE-CFS installers are generally self-sufficient, and have everything they need to complete the job. Occasionally, however,
there will be minor things that come up that could turn into major diversions from the task at hand. In many cases, we will ask for a
trim carpenter and/or an electrician to be on hand for the first day of installation, and someone from the dealer to be available after
that. When the installers fly to the jobsite, the items shown on the previous page must be provided to ensure a perfect installation.
Final Walk-through
Upon completion, the installation should be inspected and approved before the installers leave the jobsite. The Acceptance
Form will be E-mailed or faxed to the dealer before the job is done, and is to be faxed back to Auralex to verify that the work was
completed and approved.
