•
Use a piece of bat insulation at least 3" thick over
the back of the speaker. This insulation should not
have a backing or if it does, the backing must be in-
stalled facing away from the speaker.
•
Use a fine mesh to cover the back of the speaker to
protect against bulk type insulation materials. This
will not work with insulation containing fine pow-
ders.
Do not install speakers in stud cavities containing
120/240V appliances, within 18 inches of dimmer light
fixtures, security wiring and other control wiring.
SPEAKER INSTALLATION FOR
NEW CONSTRUCTION
Step 1. After you have determine the speaker locations
using the guidelines above, secure a 16 gauge 2 conductor
cable, such as the M&S Systems MS16X, (DO NOT USE
STAPLES) for attachment to the speakers after the dry
wall has been installed. NOTE: On the model S40C2,
you will need to run 2-2 conductor cables to the speaker
location for connecting the left and right signals to pro-
duce a monaural sound. Leave at least 18 inches addi-
tional cable for the connection during final speaker instal-
lation. Run the other end of the speaker cables to the
speaker volume control location and secure in a single
gang box along with a 4 conductor 16 gauge cable, such
as the M&S Systems MS164X, that will connect to the
amplifier. NOTE: Make a drawing of each speaker
location. This will assist you in locating the wires that
have been covered after the sheet rock has been
installed.
