SPEAKER POSITIONING

In-ceiling and in-wall speaker placement needs to be well thought out. If the planning or installation process makes you uncomfortable, please get help from an expert. The speakers ought to be placed where they can deliver the highest sound quality and ease of installation. To go over every facet of speaker placement would exceed the scope of this publication. But let me make a couple of quick recommendations.

The speakers should be positioned between 18 and 36 inches from an adjacent wall or surface, measured from the center of the hole, in order to get greater bass. Avoid placing the speakers closer to the next wall than 12 inches. Avoid putting speakers at the same distance from both sides of a corner when doing so.

INSTALLATION

Establish the speaker positions right away if you haven’t already. Look for any hidden impediments, such as wiring, plumbing, heating ducts, etc., in the ceiling or wall area. It is best to access the ceiling through an attic crawl space if one is available. The lack of a crawl space necessitates a deeper examination of apparent hints and may call for the usage of inspection holes and inspection gear (camera, mirror, flashlight, etc.). To find the locations of the joists or studs, use a “stud finder.” When possible, we advise that the speaker holes’ edges be at least 34″ (19mm) away from joists or studs to give room for the toggle clamps.

WIRING

We strongly advise using high-quality stereo cable to get the best performance out of your new speakers. For runs longer than 50 feet, it is advised that the cable be double insulated and at least 16 gauge. This speaker cable is frequently referred to as “jacketed” and is rated CL-2 or CL-3. Avoid “zip cord,” which is single insulated and frequently constructed with clear insulation, as it is less reliable. Give the cable enough length on the other end to reach the electronics and about 212 feet (0.8m) of free space at the speaker cut-out. Later having to install more cable might be time-consuming and annoying.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need in order to utilise the ceiling speakers?

An external amplifier that is wired via speaker cable to each ceiling speaker is required to power all of the ceiling speakers. The Sonos Amp is the greatest multi-room option, in our opinion.

Do ceiling speakers require electricity?

How are speakers in ceilings measured?

Take your measurements in inches for the speaker using a ruler or a tape measure. The biggest portion of the cone should be facing up while your speaker is erect.
