It is advisable to plan all aspects of installation in advance of work
beginning, preferably with the house/flat building schematics if
available. Great care should be taken to ensure that all building
regulations are followed. When deciding upon a ceiling placement,
care should be taken to avoid joists, load bearing beams etc
Before cutting ceiling loudspeaker holes it is suggested that the
area is tested for clearance by making an L-shaped probe from
strong wire (eg a coat hanger), drilling a small hole in the target
area, inserting the probe and slowly turning. Any obstructions will
be immediately obvious, and the target area can be moved to a
more suitable position.
When placing the OS165CC V2.0 speakers, thought should be
given to positions which give the best desired sound coverage
throughout a room, while not interfering with existing or planned
light fittings or joists. Also, locate loudspeakers taking into account
location of furnishings for optimal stereo reproduction.
When mounting speakers flush to a ceiling or wall, ensure that
enough depth/clearance is available in the respective cavity. A
clearance of at least 80mm is necessary when mounting an
OSI65CC V2.0.
Remove the round cardboard pad from inside the supplied
template (see below). Use the template to mark the position for the
mounting hole at the selected location. Cut the mounting hole with
a drywall or keyhole saw.
