Stealth Acoustics invisible speakers can be installed in new construction or as a retrofit into an existing wall. Typically the
speakers are installed in walls or ceilings that will be finished with ½" (13mm) or ⅝" (16mm) wallboard but can easily be
adapted for other construction types.
FRAMING: 16" ON-CENTER
For standard 16" (406mm) on-center
framing, add cross member framing
above and below on-center for the
speaker height.
The speakers measure 16" (406mm) wide and feature models in 12" (305mm), 22" (559mm) and 30" (762mm) heights
designed for installation into 16" (406mm) on-center wooden stud framing, but with additional support can accommodate
wider or narrower framing.
Stealth Speakers require a stable mounting structure for proper support. Speakers should only be attached to non-
moveable elements of a building such as a structural ceiling or structural wall and must allow for screw attachment of all
four sides of the speaker and the adjoining wallboard. Well-cured and dry structural pine 2" × 4" studs (35 × 70 mm)
can be used for such framing if the existing construction does not provide the required stable mounting structure.
If the stable mounting structure is in a lowered ceiling, then you must use ceiling hangers to directly secure the mounting
structure to the building structural ceiling.

PREPARING WALL FRAMING
FRAMING: NARROW
For narrow framing add cross
member framing above and below
on-center for the speaker height as
well as outside blocking to achieve a
16" (406mm) on-center width.

(See
FRAMING: WIDE
For framing wider than 16" (406mm),
construct support framing to achieve
an opening with a 16" (406mm) on-
center width and on-center framing
above and below for the speaker
height.
