SPEAKER PLACEMENT  
Before installing your speakers, you should consider their

the section entitled “SPEAKER ADJUSTMENTS” in this manual  
prior to performing the tweeter adjustment.  
placement carefully, taking into account the location of  
electrical, plumbing and other fixtures. Contact your Dealer  
for assistance if you are unsure of the best location for your  
particular listening environment.  
In a very large room with high ceilings, it may be necessary to  
place additional speakers throughout the room. Contact your  
Proficient Audio Systems Dealer for assistance.  
Placement In Ceiling: When placing your speakers into the  
ceiling, they should ideally be located above the primary  
listening area. If the speakers are positioned far away from  
the primary listening area, adjust the pivoting tweeters so they  
are pointed towards it.  
MOUNTING SURFACE PREPARATION  
New Construction - Unfinished Ceilings  
3. Mark the hole. A template for setting the hole is provided  
in the box (along with two paint mask inserts for use when  
painting). Position the template in the desired position and  
pencil an outline on the ceiling.  
A Pre-Construction Bracket, available from your Dealer, may  
be installed prior to drywall application across joists (up to 24"  
on-center) where a speaker will be located. After the hole is  
cut and the drywall is installed, the speakers are then easily  
installed following the instructions for mounting in “Finished  
Ceilings” below. Note: If the speakers are to be mounted more  
than 24" on-center, a special “Extra Long Wing” is available  
from your Dealer.  
4. Cutting the hole. CAUTION:This is the most important  
part of the entire installation. If you are not certain  
whether any obstructions exist behind the desired mounting  
area, you should start by cutting a small hole in the center  
of your penciled mounting hole with a drywall saw, cutting  
at a 45° angle towards the inside of the hole. (See Diagram 1)  
Cutting the small hole at this angle will make drywall repair  
much easier, using the piece cut out. Once you have deter-  
mined that there aren’t any obstructions in your desired  
mounting location, start cutting the finished hole at a 90°  
angle to the ceiling surface.  
Finished Ceilings  
Prior to the actual installation of the speakers, it will be neces-  
sary to run cables to the speaker locations. See your Dealer  
for more information about cable installation. After the cable  
has been properly installed, you are ready to mount the  
speakers. Following the simple steps listed below will result in  
a professional looking installation:  
1. Determine the best area to mount your speakers. This area  
of the ceiling should be free of obstructions such as electri-  
cal conduit, HVAC ducts, or water lines. This can best be  
determined by noting the placement of fixtures and gaining  
access to an attic or crawl space for further analysis of the  
location of such obstacles.

Ceiling Cut Out  
2. Find the joists nearest the desired speaker mounting loca-  
tion. We highly recommend using a good stud-finder tool  
for this procedure. If you are lining up the speakers to some  
other object or molding in the room, make sure you con-  
sider the size of the baffle flange which extends beyond the  
mounting hole.  
5. Add insulation. If the area in the ceiling is not already insu-  
lated, add an adequate amount insulation material to loosely  
cover the back of the speaker. If the insulation material used  
is faced with foil or paper, position the foil or paper away  
from the speaker.
