The Burmester InWall loudspeaker series can be integrated in a dry wall without any
problems due to its low installation depth of only 3.94 in and the frameless installation.
The satellite and the center speakers from the Burmester InWall series are designed as
2-way loudspeakers. The high-frequency range is reproduced by an AMT tweeter
specially manufactured according to Burmester specifications, which have already
been the benchmark for fine-tuning, neutrality, load-bearing and dynamics in the high-
frequency range for many years. The 6.7 in low-mid-range driver with its extremely
powerful drive and its special glass-fiber diaphragm maximizes the efficiency up to 91
dB and a stunning precision in playback with a very high load capacity. In combination,
high and low-frequency drivers reach a wider sweetspot with reduced bundling. The
unique sound experience is therefore to be experienced throughout the entire
listening room.
The Burmester InWall Woofer is a bass reflex loudspeaker with a nominal load capacity
of 120 W and complements the existing InWall system in an ideal way and turns the
setup into a complete 3-way system with the same acoustic niveau of a stand-alone
speaker.
Highlights:
• low installation depth of only 3.94 in
• perfectly integrated into the wall
• frameless mounting
• The housing is made entirely of aluminum.
• wide sweetspot
• High-Quality AMT-Tweeter

Installation of the speakers (for Installer)
Correct positioning
The following figure shows the positioning of the loudspeakers in the wall
recommended by Burmester. The tweeters of the loudspeakers should be at ear level.
Step 1 - Installation of the framework.
Decouple the framework of all adjacent surfaces. Various solutions are available from
different manufacturers. Always ensure that all parts are connected to one another
without rattling

Step 2 - Attachment the rear plasterboards
Attach the rear plasterboard according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Step 3 - Fill all hollow spaces with insulating material
Filling all hollow spaces serves, among other things, to avoid cavity resonances which
might be caused by the InWall loudspeaker. Please save the area where the InWall
loudspeaker is to be installed.

Step 4 - Mounting the mounting kit
Please pay attention that there are different ways of mounting the speaker in the wall.
Depending on your decision the correct position of the mounting brackets must be
chosen.

Adjust the distance of the pink colored surface of the mounting brackets so that the
surrounding edge of the InWall loudspeaker is flush with the wall surface after
installation.
Step 5 - Installing and connecting the speaker cables
Please pay attention to the polarity of the wiring! Use the supplied socket wrench for
installation.

Step 6 - Mounting the InWall speakers in the wall
Rear mounting
You can mount the InWall speakers on the rear wall. Use the mounting brackets as
shown in the following pictures.
The mounting brackets have slots with which the InWall loudspeaker is aligned in such
a way that the front frame is flush with the wall. Screw the mounting brackets using the
included coarse thread screws. These cut through the mounting bracket and are
suitable for walls made of wood and plaster.
Installation between two beams
The mounting brackets can be used in such a way that the InWall loudspeaker can be
mounted between two beams. The positioning of the mounting brackets can be seen
in the following figures. Be sure to mount everything rattle-free especially between the
loudspeaker housing and the beam.

Installation from the front into a cutout (for double-skinned walls and retrofitting)
The InWall speaker can be mounted from the front into a cutout. Cut a cutout using the
appropriate dimensions (see “Cutout dimensions (mm)” on page21). If no additional
plasterboard is planned in front of the mounting bracket, it must be countersunk at
least 3 mm deep. Screw the mounting brackets into the wall using the included coarse
thread screws. Cover the mounting brackets with a another plasterboard, which has a
cutout (“Cutout dimensions (mm)” on page21) in the appropriate location or plaster
the recessed mounting brackets.
nOte: Cut-out templates for marking the cutout are included in the scope of delivery.
nOte: For all versions of the assembly, care must be taken to ensure that sufficient insulation
material (colored yellow in the following figure) is distributed around the loudspeaker
before closing the wall.

Step 7 - Closing the Wall
In the case of rear mounting and mounting between two beams, the front of the wall
must be plastered. At the appropriate spot cut a cutout into the plasterboard (“Cutout
dimensions (mm)” on page21). Mount the plasterboard to the framework according
to the manufacturer’s instructions.
nOte: Cut-out templates for marking the cutout are included in the scope of delivery.

Step 8 - Closing the gap between loudspeaker and plasterboard
The resulting gap between the loudspeaker and the plasterboard is closed with
silicone or acrylic, depending on the further treatment of the wall.
Step 9 - Choosing the front cover
The InWall speaker offers two possible front covers. These are attached to the speaker
front by integrated magnets.
The following variations are possible:
1. Without front cover
2. Flush-mounted front cover with fabric cover
3. Flush-mounted front cover with fabric cover
and top-lying aluminum frame (optional accessory)
