AudioSource ACLCR6C - Manual

Congratulations on your purchase of the AudioSource

AC Ceiling LCR Cinema Speaker. This product is

designed to reproduce the audio portion of your home

entertainment environment with accuracy and detail

that will satisfy the most discriminating listener.

Please read this Installation Manual to ensure the

proper installation and performance of your

ACLCR6C speaker.

Preparing for your Installation

Gather the necessary tools for your installation.

You will need the following tools:

1) A Keyhole or Drywall Saw

2) A Phillips Screwdriver

3) Masking Tape

4) A Pencil

5) A Tape Measure

6) A Stud Finder (recommended)

7) Your AC Series speakers

Placement

Plan your speaker placement carefully. Make certain

that electrical, plumbing and any other services will

not interfere within the ceiling where you plan to install

your speakers. The speakers should be located so

that they provide even coverage at your listening

position. The distance between the speakers should

not be greater than the distance from the speakers

to the listening position (See Figure 1). If the room’s

dimensions or furniture placement prevent adhering

to this requirement, the tweeters in the ACLCR6C

speakers can be swiveled to aim them at the desired

listening position.

New Construction

If you are installing your speakers in new construction

before the finished walls go up, AudioSource offers

New Construction Brackets, which provide a stable

frame that can be fastened to the wall studs or ceiling

joists on 16” or 24” centers. This allows the sheet

rock or other surface covering to be installed and

p r o v i d e s a t e m p l a t e t o c u t t h e o p e n i n g f o r t h e

ACLCR6C speakers.

ACLCR6C

Use a stud finder to locate the joists behind the ceiling

surface. Also, you should now check for obstructions

like cross bracing in front of and behind the desired

speaker location.

6.5” Ceiling LCR Cinema Speaker

Existing Construction

In most modern buildings ceiling joists are positioned

on 16” centers, providing a space between the joists of

approximately 14

3/8

”. The ACLCR6C requires a hole

diameter of 8-1/8” (206mm). Additionally, you should

allow an extra 1” in all directions behind the ceiling

surface to allow room for the screw clamps that mount

the speaker to the ceiling to swing into position.

ACLCR6C Design

The ACLCR6C speakers are specifically designed to

be mounted in the ceiling as front channel Left, Center,

and Right home theater speakers (Figure 1). The

ACLCR6C can also be installed for Rear channel

sound where conventional in-wall or floor speakers

cannot be used (Figure 2). The ACLCR6C can also

be used as a single center channel speaker, or in

conventional stereo pairs.
