Location:
This is by far the most important step before we
even begin the installation. For the most effective
placement the speakers should be at roughly the
same height as the middle of the TV screen they are
to be used with, one to the left and one to the right of
the screen. Otherwise, a height of
five or six feet from the floor and
in between the studs of the wall
is ideal. Avoid corner locations if
possible. Separate the left and
right speakers by about 5 to 10
feet, or roughly half the listening
distance. Please make sure the
speaker wire has a clear path from
your stereo or A/V receiver to the
placement of your speaker.
The Axiom Architectural Speakers
are designed to be installed in the
common stud wall with drywall
or some similar type wall board
covering. For other types of walls
special installation procedures
will need to be used.
Step 2
Place the wall-mount frame in the wall cutout from
Step 1. The frame is marked “TOP” for proper
orientation of the speaker (models W2 & W3). The W22
frame can be mounted either side up.

Step 1
Using the supplied template and a level (not
included) mark an outline of the wall cutout to place
the Architectural Speakers. Be sure to avoid the
wall studs by at least 1.5 inches on each side. Then
carefully cut the selected area using a jigsaw or
drywall saw.
Warning: Make sure there aren’t any other wires,
pipes, or other fixtures that might be in the wall
before cutting.
