CHECK FOR OBSTRUCTIONS
If an obstruction is found behind the drywall in the proposed location, you will need to choose a
different location for the speaker.
Before installing ceiling speakers in plasterboard, check for joint or any other obstructions, such as
metal pipes, which are hidden from your view.
Stud Locator
he easiest, most efficient way to detect obstructions behind drywall is to use a stud finder. At each
speaker location, use the stud locator to find an open space. ry to center each speaker between
the ceiling studs. Slide the stud locator horizontally across the ceiling or walls to locate the studs.
Scan vertically to pinpoint fire blocks.
C eck again for Obstructions
At each site, drill a small hole at the center of the outline, If you feel any obstructions while drilling
stop immediately.
Bend a piece of stiff wire (e.g. coat hanger) about 6 inches from the end at a 90 – degree angle.

Insert the bent end into the hole and rotate the wire to check for any obstructions. If you hit
anything, patch the hole with compound and find a different installation location.
CUT SPEAKER OPENINGS
Prepare Location
At each speaker location trace a cutout hole 160mm in diameter in the ceiling tile or plasterboard.
Cut the Opening using a fine–tooth keyhole saw carefully cutting out each opening for the
speakers.

Wiring
Pull some of the speaker wire through the hole in the ceiling
Using wire strippers prepare the ends of the wires for connection to the speaker. Remove
approximately 10mm of insulation from each wire. Connect the red (+) or striped wire to the red
terminal and black (-) to the black terminal. Maintaining correct polarity of the wires is important to
avoid phase problems.
Connect the correct wires ie red to red and black to black at the speaker terminals of the amplifier
or intermediate wall mounted volume control.
Check that the speakers are operating correctly before inserting the speaker into the hole in the
ceiling or ceiling tile by playing some music or sound source from the amplifier.
Fixing t e Speaker
Rotate the spring loaded mounting clamps vertically so that they fit through the ceiling holes. Pass
the speaker into the ceiling hole. he spring loaded clip should spring into place holding the
speaker in position.
