Speaker Installation - RBH Sound A-610 Installation And Instruction Manual

Speaker Installation

RBH Sound in-wall speakers are designed on an infinite baffle configuration. This
means a back can is not required for the speaker to perform properly. However, using
an RBH Sound back can will most likely improve the tightness and control the bass
response. RBH Sound in-wall speakers have also been designed to make installation as
easy as possible. Upon opening the speaker boxes you will notice that the screws are
pre-started into the dog legs or a pinch ring. The basic idea behind in-wall speakers is
the speaker is held in place by sandwiching the drywall. A frame around the speaker
conceals the cutout in the drywall and presses against the front of the wall. Behind
the wall, the speaker has a set of dog legs or a pinch ring that screw into the drywall.
CAUTION: Be certain there are no electrical wires, water pipes, heating ducts or any
other obstructions in the planned area of installation before starting to drill or cut
into the wall. If there is an electrical outlet nearby, turn off the circuit breaker to
avoid possible injury.
Installing WITH a New Construction Bracket:
If using a new construction bracket cutting the drywall should not be necessary
continue with "Connecting the Speaker" instructions on the next page.
Installing WITHOUT a New Construction Bracket:
Use the cutout template supplied with the speaker for
guidance in cutting the drywall, following "Using the
Template" instructions below.
Using the Template:
1. These speakers are designed to be mounted between
the framing members. Use a stud finder to locate
the position of studs. Make sure you have a 2-inch
clearance from the outside of the cutout hole from
studs.
2. Drill a 1/4-inch hole in the center of the area you
plan to mount the speaker. Cut or bend a piece of
wire (a coat hanger works well) to a 90-degree angle.
Insert the wire into the pilot hole and fish around
to make sure there are not obstructions which will
interfere with the installation.
NOTE: If you must choose another location the pilot
hole can be easily patched.
3. Once a suitable location is found, use masking tape to
temporarily place the supplied cutout template on the
wall, centered over the pilot hole. Draw a circle around
the inside edge of the template.
4. Carefully cut the hole with the appropriate cutting
tool to remove the material inside the circle inscribed by the template.
