Before Installation

1. Determine the location for the speaker.
2. Perform an obstruction survey using a stud finder to be

certain that there are no obstructions.

3. Position the included cutout template where the speaker is

to be located and pencil an outline on the wall. The cut-out

for the R1 and R1CSUR are 7 1/2” x 20 1/2” (191mm x

521mm). The cut-out for the R2 and R2CSUR are

7 1/2” x 33 1/2” (191mm x 851mm).
4. Cut the mounting hole using a keyhole or drywall saw and

run the speaker wires from the mounting hole to the

amplifier location.

NOTE: CONSULT LOCAL BUILDING CODES BEFORE RUNNING

SPEAKER WIRES THROUGH WALLS.

Installation

Reference Series speakers feature an integral RotoLock

®

mounting system for quick installation.
1. Strip 1/4” – 1/2” (6mm – 12mm) of insulation from each

speaker lead.
2. Twist the strands or tin the exposed wire with solder to

ensure that there are no stray strands.

NOTE: STRAY STRANDS THAT TOUCH EACH OTHER CAN CAUSE

A SHORT-CIRCUIT THAT CAN DAMAGE THE AMPLIFIER/RECEIVER.

4. The speaker’s positive spring terminal is labeled with a red

dot; the negative spring terminal is labeled with a black dot.
5. Make sure all the RotoLock

®

toggle feet are retracted so

that they are tucked within the speaker frame. Insert the

speaker into the hole in the wall (see Figure 2).

7. Tighten the screws on the front of the speaker baffle.

The RotoLock

®

toggle feet will automatically rotate into

position and begin clamping the speaker (see Figure 4).

When you notice resistance on the screws the speaker has

been clamped successfully.

8. The micro-trim grille is held in place by several small,

powerful magnets on the speaker frame. Carefully place the

grille against the speaker and the magnets will hold it firmly

in place. When properly installed, the grille trim should make

contact with the wall all the way around the speaker.

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS USE LOW-TORQUE SETTINGS; NEVER OVER

TIGHTEN. NOTE: ADJUSTING THE TENSION OF THE ROTOLOCK

CLAMPS SO THAT THE SPEAKER FRAME IS FLAT WILL HELP

ENSURE THAT THE GRILLE CONTACTS THE WALL ALL THE WAY

AROUND THE SPEAKER FOR A PROPER FIT.

6. When installing into double drywall or other thicker wall

materials, you may need to remove part of the two-piece

toggle feet. Use a small screwdriver to gently release the

two locking levers (Figure 3).
