INSTALLATION
The following steps provide detailed instructions for installing the speaker onto a wall or
ceiling composed of drywall. The speaker can be mounted to a drywall wall or ceiling that
is between 3/8" and 1-1/4" thick, with sufficient depth clearance for the model being
installed. If installing to a drop ceiling, use of a mounting bracket is required. Monoprice
carries mounting brackets for drop ceiling installations.
1. Determine where you will be installing the speaker. Use a stud finder to ensure that
there is sufficient space between the desired location and the adjacent studs. Be
sure and check for framing members that run perpendicular to the main studs, as
well. Use a pencil to mark the edges of the adjacent studs.
2. If you have not already done so, remove the
center portion of the cardboard installation
template.
3. Position the installation template against the
wall or ceiling at the installation location.
4. For wall installations, use a carpenter's level to
ensure that the template is level.
5. Use a pencil to mark the cut line on the wall.
6. Remove the template from the wall/ceiling
and set it aside.
7. For wall installations, use the level again to check the cut lines to ensure that they
are level. Repeat steps 3-6 as necessary until the cut lines are level.
8. Drill a small hole in the middle of the cutout area. If the proposed installation
location is not clear, you can more easily repair the small hole than if you cut
without checking and find one or more obstructions.
9. Take a stiff piece of wire, such as a hanger, and bend it 90° about 8" from the end.
Insert the wire past the bend, then rotate the wire 360° to check for hidden
obstructions behind the wall. Push it in to ensure that there is sufficient clearance
behind the wall or ceiling.
