Check for obstructions. Use an electronic stud finder to check for ceiling joists, heating and
ventilating shafts, or wall studs that may hinder cutting the required opening or the running
of the cable to your desired location.
In order to ensure proper hole size, attach the cutout template and drill a hole in the center of
the outline. Cut approximately 1' (30cm) of coat hanger wire and bend it to a right angle in
the middle. Insert in the hole and rotate to check for wires, pipes, studs or other obstructions.
Always bear in mind that corner locations cause acoustic directionality, limit dispersion and
emphasize low frequencies.
When using in-wall speakers as main channels,
optimal sound will be achieved when they are
mounted at or slightly above ear level. The
listening distance should be no closer than the
distance between the speakers themselves. If
they are used as surround channels, typical
placement is adjacent and behind the listener
at a height of approximately 6 feet.
When a pair of Kin Architectural Series speakers are
used for conventional stereo reproduction, OR in
conjunction with a TV, they should be placed in front
and adjacent to the TV. Whenever possible, leave
some distance from rear and side wall boundaries.
