Mount and Remove Speakers
The in-wall speakers include six toggle clamps that simplify the mounting process. If the
grilles are mounted on the speakers, remove them before proceeding. (Refer to “Install
and Remove Grilles” below.)
1. Connect the speaker cable wires to the spring terminals by pressing the top of the
terminals down and inserting the exposed strands into the hole. Make sure that the
+wires go to the +(red coded) terminals, and the –wires go to the –(black coded)
terminals.
2. With the toggle clamps turned inward, insert the speaker into the opening. As the eight
screws on the front of the speaker are tightened, the toggle clamps first rotate into
clamping position and then begin holding the speaker to the wall. Tighten the screws
until the speaker is secured; do not overtighten. Refer to the figures to the right for
details.
3. Remove the speakers by reversing the procedures in steps 1 and 2 above.
a. Loosen the front screws to unclamp the speaker. Continue to loosen the screws
until the toggle clamps rotate inward.
b. When the speaker is loose, carefully remove it from the opening.
c. Disconnect the wires from the terminals.
Install and Remove Grilles
The zero-bezel frameless grilles are held in place by powerful magnets. To remove the
grilles, grip the edges and pull away from the speaker.

Install Cables
Run the cables from the audio source to each speaker location following all appropriate
local codes. Strip the ends of the speaker cable wires 1/4 in to 1/2 in (6 mm to 12 mm)
and twist the exposed strands.
The product of expert Crestron®audio engineering,
Aspire®speakers deliver high-end performance for
demanding residential installations. Select materials
and a refined appearance underscore the meticulous
design behind each model. The result is a complete
line of in-wall and in-ceiling speakers worthy of a
place in every room of the finest custom home.
Before finalizing the speaker location, check to make sure there are no fixtures, pipes, air
ducts, joists, or other possible obstructions. Use a good quality stud finder to locate joists.
If there is no access to the area behind the wall and it is uncertain that there are no
obstructions, carefully drill a small hole just through the wall near the middle of the proposed
speaker location(s), and use one of the following methods to identify obstructions:
● Use one of the commercially available inspection devices designed for this purpose,
● Use a piece of stiff wire, bent into an “L” shape, with one end long enough to explore an
area equal to the size of the speaker with the toggle clamps extended. Insert the wire into
the hole. Make sure it rotates freely in a complete circle and that there is sufficient depth.
● Use a drywall saw to cut a small hole at a 45° angle toward the inside of the hole. An
angle cut simplifies repair since the removed piece can be reinserted to help plug the
hole.
Paint the Speaker Grilles
Speaker grille painting should be done prior to mounting.
1. Carefully remove the material on the underside of the grilles and set them aside for
reinstallation. It may be necessary to use a knife or other sharp instrument to free an
edge of the material so it can be peeled away. Use care to avoid cutting or tearing
the material.
2. Dry brush or lightly spray the surface to be painted. Use care to avoid clogging the
holes in the grilles.
3. Once the paint is dry, reinstall the material to the underside of the grilles.
