Krix Epix - Manual (Page 3)

before you begin
New Construction
The Krix Epix inwall speakers have been
developed to suit 45x90mm or 35x90mm
timber stud construction.
The speakers must be installed before the
plasterboard is installed.
To allow the speakers to be installed at the
optimum positions in the wall, timber stud
positions should be mapped out prior to
construction by the installer (see page 5).
Retrofit
Retrofitting of the Epix is possible in 90mm
studwalls.
Retrofitting requires removal of large sections
of plasterboard and possible repositioning of
studwork, wiring etc. to accommodate the
speakers’ large MDF backboxes.
False Walls
Where existing walls are unsuitable for
retrofitting, or timber stud construction is
not used, installers may consider creating a
false timber stud and plasterboard wall to
accommodate the Epix boxes.
Tools Required
Electric drill
No.2 (medium) extended Phillips Bit
Level (optional)
Medium phillips head screw driver
Plasterboarding tools
- Drywall saw, flushing compound etc
Safety
It is recommended that the Krix Epix is installed
by a qualified installer.
Due to the size and weight of the Epix it is
recommended that at least two people install
the Epix enclosure into the studwork.
