Triad Speakers Incorporated

Thank You…
For purchasing Triad's line of high performance
inwall speakers.
Each loudspeaker is created with the utmost
attention to quality and designed to be
architecturally flexible with your room decor.
All Triad speakers are engineered and hand-crafted
with pride in the United States of America.
Please take the time to review this information.
We have developed this manual so you would be
familiar with all the performance features, and
could better appreciate the superb engineering that
has been built into your Triad loudspeakers.
At Triad we build only fully engineered loudspeakers
with sealed back-boxes. We believe you will enjoy
the rich natural music in the rooms you have
selected for our speakers, and the quiet in the
adjoining rooms, where the sealed enclosure
prevents unintended transmission of the sound.
Thanks again and happy listening.
Larry Pexton
President

New Construction Installation
4
Tools you'll need:
Power Screw Driver or Hammer
Wire Strippers
Level
Pencil or Pen
Supplies you'll need:
Triad (NCB) New Construction Bracket
Screws or Nails for attaching NCB to studs
Step One - Mark
Locate the area where the speaker will be placed
on the stud wall keeping in mind that the speaker
when installed will take up the full wall cavity
within the NCB location (i.e. free from electrical
wires, water pipes, etc.).
Position the bracket between the desired two
studs. Take special note of the location, of the
direction arrows silk screened to the inside of the
bracket. As you face the wall these arrows should
be facing into the room.
With the level resting on top of the NCB make
sure the bracket’s top is level and mark with
pencil, the location where the NCB touches the
studs.
Step Two - Attachment
Re-check NCB alignment with marks from step
one, and attach screws through attachment holes
on NCB. Re-check squareness and adjust if
necessary.
16 inch on center studs
To Amplifiers
Step Three - Wire
Attach the wires from the source to the speaker.
You're done! Now the sheet rock people can sheet rock directly to the NCB for
a clean look. When you're ready to install the speaker, refer to step two of the
“Retro-fit Installation” section of this manual.

Retro-fit Installation
Tools you'll need:
#2 Philips Hand or Power Screw Driver
Drywall Knife/Saw
Wire Strippers
Stud finder
Level
Pencil or Pen
Supplies:
Scrap cardboard or foam –for 6" deep walls
InWall Speaker enclosure from Triad
Step One - Locate (how to find an open stud cavity)
Locate the area where the speaker will be placed in the wall keeping in mind
that the speaker when installed will take up the full wall cavity (i.e. free from
wires, pipes, insulation etc.).
Use the stud finder to locate the two studs between which you wish to install
the speaker. Make a small hole in the wall (about 3/32") centered between the
two studs and insert a straightened coat hanger end bent so it has a seven inch
extension which can be spun in the fourteen inch opening between the studs. If
you don’t encounter any wires or pipes as you rotate the coat hanger you
probably can install the speaker in the wall.
Using the speaker box as a guide, mark the outline on the wall with pencil.
Adjust for squareness and cut along outlined mark
with a drywall knife/saw slowly, trying not to chip out the drywall excessively.
Step Two - Wire
Take the inwall speaker box and loosen the 4 black Philips screws attached to
the 4 silver retro brackets so the bracket can slide out of the holes in the top
and bottom of the speaker. Next, remove the 4 long black Philips screws.
These screws will be used to hold the frame to the speaker box. Keep the screws
& frame (without grill insert) close by, you'll need them soon.
Attach your speaker wires to the Triad speaker enclosures wire or binding posts.
Remember the red is positive and black is negative.

Step Three - Attachment
With the speaker wires attached, place the box inside the wall cavity and slide
the retro brackets out and tighten the retro screws.
Please note: when placing a 4 inch box into a 6 inch wall
the box will have a tendency to want to fall backwards
into the wall. To avoid this, try taping a scrap piece of foam or cardboard (2"
thick) to the back side of the speaker box.
Attach the grill frame to the speaker box using the (4) long black screws. The
frame will sandwich the sheet rock between the frame and the retro brackets,
holding the speaker in the wall. Be sure not to over-tighten the frame screws to
avoid bending the aluminum grill frame.
Finally, attach the Acoustimesh grill to the frame starting with the bottom
working your way up, pressing it into the channel carefully.
