INSTALLATION OF SOLIDDRIVE SD1-T INTO WALLS AND CEILINGS
By utilizing these basic installation steps, you can install the SolidDrive SD1-T into walls
and ceilings to create a completely hidden audio system.

GETTING STARTED WITH SOLIDDRIVE

What's included with the SolidDrive SD1-T for installation into walls and ceilings and
what is supplied by the installer:
A SolidDrive SD1-T consists of: One (1) SolidDrive SD1-T unit with included 10 W
transformer, supplied with 4 hard wire leads and one duplex conduit connector. *Additonal
mounting materials may need to be ordered with the SolidDrive SD1-T or supplied by the
installer depending on the application.
For drywall: For in-wall and in-ceiling installation, you will have ordered one (1) or more
SolidDrive SD1-T's and one (1) or more patented acoustic in-wall mounting brackets (one
(1) bracket per SD1-T), which comes with four (4) #8-32 x 5/16" Phillips at head machine
screws for mounting the drive to the bracket. At the time of the order, you will also have
speci ed mounting bracket(s) in widths of 12" OC, 16" OC, or 24" OC (On Center of wall
studs/ceiling joists) for proper width. *Installation also requires four (4) 1 3/8" drywall
screws and one (1) container of 3M

EXISTING DRYWALL INSTALLATION NOTE:

For retro tting the SolidDrive SD1-T into existing drywall installations, it will be necessary
to remove a portion of the existing drywall before installation and to replace the drywall
after the SolidDrive SD1-T is installed. Please refer to the instructions marked with
EXISTING DRYWALL for the steps necessary for the type of installation. If installing the
SolidDrive SD1-T in new construction, IGNORE the EXISTING DRYWALL steps.
STEP 1
INSTALLATION INTO EXISTING DRYWALL
For installation the SolidDrive SD1-T mounting bracket into existing drywall, rst cut a
rectangular opening in the drywall. The minimum recommended opening size is
approximately fteen inches tall and beyond the width of the adjacent wall studs. This will
help in attaching the mouting bracket, feathering the drywall back in, and getting the
drywall to meet at the seams (Figure 1). This will allow proper distribution of sound and the
SolidDrive SD1-T will function with optimum performance.
STEP 2
Attach the SolidDrive mouting bracket to wall studs or ceiling joists
Place the mounting bracket between the wall studs or ceiling joists and secure with four
1 3/8" drywall screws. Insert the screws through the four pre-drilled holes in each ange
and screw them into the face of each wall stud or ceiling joist (Figure 2). The drywall
screws need to be driven ush with the surface of the ange so that the drywall sets ush
on the bracket ange.
