The discrete, compact format of AudioSource in-wall speakers makes them ideal for many applications where traditional speakers would
be impractical or impossible. These in-wall speakers may be used independently where space is a consideration, or to bring music to
additional rooms in the house. They can also be used to enhance and enrich surround sound systems, for which they are especially suit-
ed. In-wall speakers are designed so that the wall and the space behind them actually become the speaker cabinet. Mounted flush to
the wall or ceiling, they require absolutely no floor space. The frames and grilles may be painted to blend with any decor.
Speaker Placement
Once installed, in-wall speakers are not easily moved or repositioned. Take a little extra time to carefully consider a good speaker loca-
tion before you begin. Each room is unique, so decide what works best for you. Unlike traditional speakers, in-walls mount flush and
cannot be angled or aimed back into the listening area from the corners of a room. As a general rule, the speakers should be mounted
close to, or above, ear level, and at least one-third of the distance from the corner of the room to the center of the wall or ceiling in
which you will mount them.
Allow at least 1 1 ⁄
2
" of clearance between the cut out and any studs or joists for the mounting hardware to work properly. A mounting
depth of 4 1 ⁄
4
" measured from the face of the wall is also required. The speaker location and associated mounting hardware should not
conflict with any existing wires or pipes.
