MOUNTING SURFACE PREPARATION
New Construction – Unfinished Walls
A New Construction Bracket (available from your dealer), may be installed prior to drywall application across studs (up to 24" on-
center) where a speaker will be located. Insulation material should be in place prior to installing drywall. After the hole is cut and
the drywall is installed, the speakers are then easily installed following the instructions for mounting in “Finished Walls” below.

Finished Walls
Prior to the actual installation of the speakers, it will be necessary to run cables to the speaker locations. See your dealer for more
information about cable installation. After the cable has been properly installed, you are ready to mount the speakers. Following
the simple steps listed below will result in a professional looking installation:

1. Determine the best area to mount your speakers. This area of the wall should be free
of obstructions such as electrical conduit, HVAC ducts, or water lines. This can best
be determined by noting the placement of fixtures and gaining access to an attic or
crawl space for further analysis of the location of such obstacles.

2. Find the studs nearest the desired speaker mounting location. We highly recommend
using a good stud-finder tool for this procedure. If you are lining up the speakers to
some other object or molding in the room, make sure you consider the size of the
baffle flange which extends beyond the mounting hole on all four sides.

3. Mark the hole. A template for setting the hole is provided in the box (along with two
paint mask inserts for use when painting). Position the template in the desired position
and pencil an outline on the wall.
and pencil an outline on the wall.
4. Cutting the hole. CAUTION: This is the most important part of the entire installation.
If you are not certain whether any obstructions exist behind the desired mounting
area, you should start by cutting a small hole in the center of your penciled mounting
hole with a drywall saw. Cut at a 45º angle towards the inside of the hole (Figure 3).
Cutting the small hole at this angle will make drywall repair much easier as the piece
cut out can be installed neatly back into the hole. Once you have determined there
aren’t any obstructions in your desired mounting location, start cutting the finished
hole at a 90º angle to the wall surface.

5. Add insulation. If the area in the wall is not already insulated, add an adequate
amount of insulation material to fill the wall cavity. If the insulation material used is
faced with foil or paper, position the foil or paper away from the speaker.

SPEAKER INSTALLATION
The unique integral six foot mounting system incorporated into each AIM LCR3 speaker
allows for a quick installation by following these easy steps:

1. Remove the grille. It may be necessary to push one or two of the mounting screws
and its attached foot towards the baffle and against the inside surface of the grille
to force the grille out of its retaining groove.

2. Attach the speaker cable (observing the proper polarity with your amplifier, + to

speaker, and the right channel is connected to the right speaker.
speaker, and the right channel is connected to the right speaker.
3. Make sure the mounting feet are turned inward to clear the opening, and insert the
speaker into the ceiling. Position the speaker into the hole. NOTE: The flange of the
speaker is designed to flex and conform to any small imperfections in the ceiling’s
surface. Tighten the six screws on the front of the baffle only enough to make the
flange become snug against the ceiling. As you tighten the screws, the feet will
automatically flip into an outward position (Figure 4), thereby clamping the drywall
between the feet and the flange. CAUTION: Over tightening may warp the baffle,
crack the ceiling, cause flange to distort, and make the grille difficult to install.
