Please read this Installation Manual to ensure the

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 Bubble or Laser Level
6) A Tape Measure
7) A Stud Finder (recommended)
8) Your AS5c 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 place your
speakers. The AS5c speakers can be mounted in the
walls or in the ceiling, but are typically used in ceilings.
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 Fig. 1) If the room’s dimensions or furniture
placement prevent adhering to this requirement, the
tweeters in the AS5c 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, Phoenix Gold offers a
Pre-Construction Bracket,

stable frame that can be fastened to the wall studs or
ceiling joists on 16” or 24” centers. This allows the
sheetrock or other surface covering to be installed and

ly leave the opening for the AS5c speakers.
AS5c
In most modern buildings the ceiling joists are positioned
on 16” centers, providing a space between the joists of
approximately 14
3/8
”. The AS5c requires a mounting
hole 6
1/2
” in diameter. Additionally, you should allow an
extra
3/4
” clearance in all directions behind the ceiling
surface to allow room for the doglegs that retain the
frame to the ceiling surface to swing into position.
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.
