AS515

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 AS515 Speaker

Plan your speaker placement carefully. Make certain that electrical, 
plumbing and any other services will not interfere within the walls 
where you plan to place your speakers. The AS515 speakers can 
be mounted in the walls or in the ceiling, but are typically used in 
walls as a stereo pair (see fi g. 1). They are also used as a center 
channel, or as a Left, Center, Right confi guration. 

In most modern buildings the wall studs are positioned on 16” 
centers, providing a space between the studs of approximately 
14 3/8”. The AS515 requires a mounting hole 6 7/8” wide and 
13 15/16” high. Additionally, you should allow an extra inch in all 
directions behind the wall surface to allow room for the doglegs 
that retain the frame to the wall surface to swing into position.
Use a stud fi nder to locate the vertical studs behind the wall sur-
face. You should now check for obstructions like cross bracing 

above and below the desired speaker location. After selection 
of the mounting location, mark the hole to be cut out. A handy 
cardboard template is included with your AS515 speaker for 
your convenience. Locate and level the template, then mark 
with pencil on the wall surface. If you are unsure whether there 
are obstructions behind the wall surface where the speakers are 
to be mounted, cut a small hole in the center of your marked 
mounting location. Holding your drywall saw at a 45 degree 
angle (see Fig. 2) cut a square hole that you can use to fi nd any 
obstructions, should they exist.
Once it has been determined that there are no obstructions, 
cut the hole to mount the speaker using the drywall saw at a 90 
degree angle to the wall surface. Cover the raw edges of the 
wallboard with masking tape (see Fig. 3). This will prevent the 
back pressure of the speaker from blowing loose gypsum dust 
out and onto the painted wall surface after installation. Do not 
allow the tape to extend more than 1/2” beyond the edge of the 
hole into the room. The frame of the AS515 will cover and 
hide the tape.

Next, run your speaker wire to your speaker locations. UL rated, 
CL3 speaker wire is recommended when running wire inside 
your walls (such as 

Phoenix Gold Innovative Home SS162W*). 

In many areas it may be required by code. When running your 
speaker wire you should avoid having the speaker wire run 
parallel to the 110V power lines to avoid picking up hum and 
interference from the power service. If the speaker wire needs 
to cross a 110V power line, place it at a right angle to the 110V 
line to minimize any hum or interference.

If you are uncomfortable with running the speaker wire yourself 
in existing construction, it is recommended that you retain a 
qualifi ed custom home installation specialist or electrician.
