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 R1C and R1CSUR is

13 25/32” x 13 25/32” x 7 9/16”

(350mm x 350mm x 192mm).
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

Sonance Reference Series speakers feature an integral RotoLock

®

mounting system for quick mounting directly into existing walls.
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.
3. The R1C and R1CSUR in-ceiling speakers come with a safety

retention mount on the back of the speaker. To ensure safety,

loop a lanyard through the safety retention mount bracket and

secure the other end to the ceiling joist (see Figure 1).

NOTE: STRAY STRANDS THAT TOUCH EACH OTHER CAN CAUSE

A SHORT-CIRCUIT THAT CAN DAMAGE THE AMPLIFIER.
NOTE: CONSULT LOCAL BUILDING CODES BEFORE SECURING THE

LANYARD TO ANY STRUCTURE.

3. The speaker’s terminals are spring-loaded. Push the top of

each terminal down to open the connector and insert the

exposed wires.
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. 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 (see Figure 3).
