Installing Your Airmotiv Vaulta AVL - 6.5 Speakers

Installing your new Airmotiv Vaulta AVL - 6.5 loudspeakers will require the use of tools such as a
drill, screwdriver, and saw. The installer should be familiar with the use of such tools, and familiar
with all applicable building and fire codes. Care must be taken to ensure that the ceiling area
where you wish to install your Vaulta loudspeakers is strong enough to support them, is free
of all obstructions, and provides adequate depth clearance. When cutting mounting holes and
running wires, special care must be taken to avoid electrical wiring, water and gas pipes, and air
conditioning and heating ducts or conduits. Failure to avoid existing wiring or pipes may result in
personal injury and / or property damage.
If you are not comfortable with the above considerations then we strongly suggest that you
employ the services of a professional A/V installer or contractor.
Your Airmotiv Vaulta AVL - 6.5 loudspeakers are designed to mount in a round hole 8" in diamater.
The mounting frame on the front of the speaker is 9" in diameter, and extends an additional 1/2"
outside the diameter of the mounting hole, and the grills extend another 1/8" beyond that.
The locking arms, which hold the speaker in position when they are engaged, extend
approximately 3/4" beyond the diameter of the mounting hole at four points around its
circumference in the rear. We suggest maintaining a clearance of at least 2" between your Vaulta
speaker and any joists, pipes, wires, or light fixtures that may interfere with your loudspeakers.
To ensure clearance in a plasterboard or other ceiling that employ ceiling joists, we suggest
locating your Vaulta loudpseakers at least 2" from the nearest joist. To ensure both adequate
clearance and optimum strength when mounting your Vaulta AVL - 6.5 loudspeakers in a drop
ceiling, we recommend mounting them near the center of a tile whenever possible.
When installing wiring for in-ceiling speakers, use only cable that is rated for in-wall or in-ceiling
use (UL standard CL2, CL3 and CM; CSA standard FT4).
Refer to the illustrations that follow for details about the required clearances for mounting your
Airmotiv Vaulta loudspeakers.
