Fitting speakers to an interior wall After finding the ideal speaker location required (not covered in this publication – maybe we should say which publication?). Using the electrical cable and pipe detector, scan the area immediately around the speaker location. If no audible warning is indicated, it is then safe to proceed with the installation.
With the wall bracket securely in place, gently lower the speaker onto the wall bracket as shown below. Optional Extras Included with the speaker kit are self-adhesive feet so when placed under the speaker, it allows for it to be free standing on a level surface (as illustrated below). Alternatively, these self-adhesive feet can be placed on the inside edge, between the speaker and the wall (when wall mounted), to help partially isolate the vibrations.
The Finishing Touches With the speaker (V1 / V2) fitted on the wall bracket, the grille frame with black speaker cloth (fitted as standard) is simply offered up to the speaker front plate until the magnets “click” into place. The frame should then be held firmly.

For clients who have plasterboard or stud walls and wish to blend in their speaker system with the room décor, Audio Excellence provides the option to install and hide the speakers into the partition wall with the relevant “In-Wall Kit”. Each kit is specific to each type of speaker that can be installed In-Wall (Vertex 1, Vertex 2 and Raijuu 1) The low profile of the Audio Excellence speakers enable them to fit easily into most spaces.
Place the Vertex 1 or 2 surround speakers in the Audience area; this is in accordance to Dolby recommendations, but also please refer to the Congard Code from Audio Excellence for the best set up to achieve a realistic sound stage for enhanced listening pleasure.
