CT8 DS Only Installation into drywall only. (figure 12) So that it can be sunk into a standard drywall up to the level of the side- firing drivers, the CT8 DS has a relatively shallow cabinet for its height and is front heavy. To maintain stability, it is equipped with a bracket that enables the rear of the cabinet to be anchored either to a wall surface or the internal studding of a drywall. In existing construction: Use a stud finding tool to locate the position of the vertical studs and ensure that the speaker is positioned between them. If the speaker is to be mounted above floor level, cut into the drywall panel to expose the stud frame sufficiently to allow the insertion of a cross- brace at the appropriate height to support the speaker. Safety Warning! Ensure the cross-brace is level and fitted strongly enough to take the substantial weight of the speaker. The speaker can be supported by the cross-brace and the retaining bracket alone if desired, or a more complex support structure may be constructed, for example to hide the underside of the cabinet. Figure 12 Using the front aspect template provided, mark round the outline at the desired position of the speaker. Allow a little for clearance. If mounting the speaker at floor level, allow extra height if there is a horizontal stud at floor level. Cut out the aperture for the speaker Using the front aspect template provided, mark the centre line of the retaining bracket on the inside surfaces of the two vertical studs either side of the speaker position. Screw the two angle brackets (A) to the inside face of the vertical struts. Attach the wall bracket (C) to the angle brackets (A) using machine screws (D) and trapping the stud plate (B) in position. Patch the drywall as necessary. 11
