Brick or block walls
(For plasterboard walls, please refer to the second half of this publication: “In-Wall Kits”)
Basic equipment required
Electric drill (capable of hammer action)
Small spirit level
Masonry drill bit (approx. 5.5mm)
Medium cross point or “Philips” screwdriver
Safety eye glasses or goggles (recommended)
Dust face mask (recommended)
Electrical wire and pipe detector (recommended)
Fitting the speaker bracket

these as shown and secure using the four screws provided.

Fitting speakers to an interior wall
After finding the ideal speaker location required (not covered in this publication – maybe we should
say which publication?).
Using the electrical cable and pipe detector, scan the area immediately around the speaker location.
If no audible warning is indicated, it is then safe to proceed with the installation.
If drilling into a block or brick wall, it is recommended to use the minimum required safety
equipment, such as safety goggles and a dust mask.
Set the electrical drill to hammer action and proceed to drill to a depth of approximately 30mm with
the 5.5mm masonry bit. The rawlplug (supplied) is inserted into the opening.
As illustrated below, place a screw and washer into the left opening of the wall bracket. After
partially tightening, place the small spirit level on top of the bracket, the location of the second screw
hole can then be marked. The bracket can be moved slightly to allow drilling and fitting of the second
screw. Finally, again using the spirit level, adjust the bracket to the optimum position (illustrated
below). All screws can subsequently be fully tightened.

With the wall bracket securely in place, gently lower the speaker onto the wall bracket as shown
below.
Optional Extras
Included with the speaker kit are self-adhesive feet so when placed under the speaker, it allows for it
to be free standing on a level surface (as illustrated below).
Alternatively, these self-adhesive feet can be placed on the inside edge, between the speaker and
the wall (when wall mounted), to help partially isolate the vibrations.

The Finishing Touches
With the speaker (V1 / V2) fitted on the wall bracket, the grille frame with black speaker cloth (fitted
as standard) is simply offered up to the speaker front plate until the magnets “click” into place. The
frame should then be held firmly.
To help enhance the installation further, the extra option of having a piece of artwork printed on the
acoustically transparent material is given. The art could be a standard piece, or one chosen by the
client.
The following photographs illustrate some of these examples:

These examples show artwork printed on the acoustically transparent cloth. With the grille fitted the
speaker takes on the form of a painting:

Plasterboard or Stud Wall fixing
For clients who have plasterboard or stud walls and wish to blend in their speaker system with the
room décor, Audio Excellence provides the option to install and hide the speakers into the partition
wall with the relevant “In-Wall Kit”. Each kit is specific to each type of speaker that can be installed
In-Wall (Vertex 1, Vertex 2 and Raijuu 1)
The low profile of the Audio Excellence speakers enable them to fit easily into most spaces.
Basic equipment required
Electrical Jigsaw or sharp hand saw
Electrical drill and 8mm drill bit
Cross point / Philips type screwdriver
Masking tape
Molly bolts or dry wall anchors
Molly bolt insertion tool
Please note that each frame, grille and speaker are matched for a perfect fit and they are
numbered accordingly.

Installation Instructions
Place the Vertex 1 or 2 surround speakers in the Audience area; this is in accordance to Dolby
recommendations, but also please refer to the Congard Code from Audio Excellence for the best set
up to achieve a realistic sound stage for enhanced listening pleasure.
Using the template, mark out the required area on the plasterboard for cutting. This is easily
achieved using an electrical jigsaw or a sharp hand saw. Masking tape is then applied to each cut
edge to prevent any further dust from escaping the opening.
The relevant “in wall frame” is fitted into the opening. Using the screw holes in the frame, the screw
positions can be marked out on the plasterboard.

With the frame temporarily removed, the marked screw holes are drilled. If using “Molly” bolts the
drill bit required would be 8mm. The below photo illustrates fitted “Molly” bolts.
