INSTALLATION 7
Installing the Gallery In-Wall Loudspeakers
1. Confirm that there is at least 1 1/2" of clearance between
each edge of the planned cutout and adjacent studs or
joints.
2. Fasten the supplied cardboard template to the wall or
ceiling with tape or thumbtacks. Check again for equal
distance of both speakers from the ceiling or floor.
3. Trace around the perimeter of the template.
4. Before making the final cutout, make a small 6-inch
square “test cutout” in the center of the penciled
outline. Reach inside the test hole to verify that there
are no obstructions in the way of your planned cutout.
5. Before cutting the hole, first score the drywall with a
razor knife and use a keyhole saw to complete the cut.
Remove debris from the edge of the hole.
6. Secure the speaker wire to a stud near the cutout so its
weight will not tug on the terminals of the speaker after
it is connected. This also keeps the wire from dropping
behind the wall before you can connect it.
7. You can insert bare wire up to AWG 12 into the holes on
the connection plate to connect speakers.
8. Carefully separate the removable grill from the baffle
and loudspeaker assembly. The bezel can be mounted in
the wall and painted if desired. Note: The grilles should
be painted separately rather than while mounted in the
separate bezel.
9. Insert the Gallery bezel into the cutout to make sure it
fits easily without forcing.
10. Evenly tighten the mounting screws on the bezel. The
mounting “swing-arms” (also known as mounting
“dogs”) will automatically swing out 90 degrees. After
they swing out, the arms then clamp against the drywall
from behind the wall. Avoid using excessive force to
prevent deforming the drywall or cracking the speaker’s
mounting frame.
