INSTALLATION DURING NEW CONSTRUCTION
Needless to say, installing In-Wall speakers when a house is being
built is far easier than doing it later.
Russound offers a ‘Speaker Rough-In Kit”. The SB-3.6 Rough-In kit is
designed to provide the drywall installers the cut-out for the In-Walls.
The kit comes with two brackets, one for the left speaker and another
for the right. The brackets are nailed/screwed onto the wall studs.
Once the house/room is completed, you can install the speaker (more
on this below).
During new installation, keep the following tips in mind:
• Use a small level to verify that the mounting frame is straight.
• The flat brackets and nails which attach the speakers are thin
enough that they won’t interfere with wallboard added later.
• If possible, run speaker wires after AC wiring is in place to avoid
induced hum caused by close parallel proximity.
• Secure speaker wires in place along the run with insulated staples
only and be careful not to pierce the insulation. Allow a bit of
slack for expansion of building materials.
• The actual speakers should not be installed until the wall board is
in place. In the meantime, leave several feet of wire coiled up and
secured to the back side of the mounting frame.
• When it comes time to put up the dry wall, make sure the speaker
cut-out hole doesn’t extend farther than 1/4” from the sides of
the mounting frame.
• After the wallboard is put up, install the speakers as detailed on
pages 5 of this manual.
Due to our continual efforts to improve product quality as new tech-
nology and techniques become available, Russound/FMP, Inc. reserves
the right to revise speaker systems specifications without notice.
