Congratulations on your purchase of the
AudioSource AC Series In-Wall Speaker System.
This product is designed to reproduce the audio
portion of your home entertainment environment
with accuracy and detail that will satisfy the most
discriminating listener.
Please read this Installation Manual to ensure the
proper installation and performance of your AC
Series speakers.
Preparing for your Installation
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 AC Series Speakers
Placement
Plan your speaker placement carefully. Make certain
that electrical, plumbing and any other services will not
interfere within the walls where you plan to install your
speakers. The AC Series speakers can be mounted in
ceilings, but are typically used in walls.The speakers
should be located so that they provide even coverage
at your listening position. The distance between the
speakers should not be greater than the distance from
the speakers to the listening position (See Figure 1).
If the room’s dimensions or furniture placement prevent
adhering to this requirement, the tweeters in the AC
Series speakers can be swiveled to aim them at the
desired listening position. Speaker height should be
maintained at ear level or just above. Again, the
tweeters may be aimed into the listening area.
New Construction
If you are installing your speakers in new construction
before the finished walls go up, AudioSource offers
New Construction Brackets, which provide a stable
frame that can be fastened to the wall studs on 16”
or 24” centers. This allows the sheet rock or other
wall covering to be installed and provides a template
to cut the opening for the AC Series speakers.
AC5W/AC6W/AC8W
In most modern buildings the wall studs are positioned
on 16” centers, providing a space between the studs of
approximately 14 ”. The specifications chart shows 3/8
the appropriate cut out sizes (p. 4). Additionally, you
should allow an extra ” in all directions behind the 3/4
Use a stud finder to locate the vertical studs behind
the wall surface. Also, you should now check for
obstructions like cross bracing above and below the
desired speaker location.

wall surface to allow room for the screw clamps that
mount the speaker to the wall to swing into position.
After selecting the mounting location, mark the hole to
be cut out. A template is provided in the speaker box.
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 you drywall saw at a
45 degree angle (see Figure 2), cut a square hole that
you can use to find any obstructions, should they exist.
The 45 degree wedge shape of the removed surfacing
material will make replacement, if necessary, a much
easier task and yield a better finish when patching the
work.
Once it has been determined that there are no obstruc-
tions, 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
Figure 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 1/4” beyond the edge of
the hole into the room. The frame of the speaker will
cover and hide the tape.
If you are uncomfortable with running the speaker wire
yourself in existing construction, it is recommended that
you retain a qualified custom home installation specialist
or electrician.
Installing the Speakers
Installation Tip! To further enhance the performance
of your AC Series speakers, the wall cavity where you
plan to place your speakers can be stuffed with a
generous quantity of fiberglass insulation. Stuff the area
above and under the speaker opening with 6” thick
insulation to a depth of approximately 2 feet beginning
1 foot above and 1 foot below the speaker opening. If
the insulation is foil or paper backed, face the backing
away from the AC Series speaker. The addition of this
insulation will help prevent unwanted transfer of sound
into the otherwise large and resonant cavity of the un-
insulated wall.

It is now time to connect the speaker wire to the speaker.
Your speaker wire is usually coded to identify each
conductor as either positive or negative. This can be by
color coding, or one conductor may have a printed
marking or at least a rib along one edge that you will not
find on the other. Identify which type of polarity coding
that your wire is using. You must carefully observe that
the positive terminal of the speaker output on your
amplifier is connected to the positive terminal of the
AC Series speaker. Likewise, the negative terminal of the
amplifier’s speaker output should be connected to the
negative terminal of the AC Series speaker (Figure 5).

Next run your speaker wire to your speaker locations.
A speaker wire is recommended when UL rated CL3
running wire inside your walls. 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 120V power lines to avert picking up hum and
interference from the power service. If the speaker
wire needs to cross a 120V power line at a right angle
this is acceptable and will not create a problem.
Grill Removal for Installation
CAUTION! The grill is held in place by contact pressure
around the edges where it attaches to the speaker frame.
To avoid difficulty reinstalling the grill, care should be
taken to not distort its shape while removing it.
While looking at the rear of the speaker assembly, rotate
two of the adjacent mounting clamps outward and then
evenly press them towards the grill. The clamp screws
contact the inner surface of the grill, pushing it gently
out of its mounting groove (Figure 4). Only lift the grill
1/4" (6mm) at this location. Next use the other mounting
clamps to further loosen the grill. Use care to not distort
the grill shape.

Tighten all six of the mounting screws in the same
manner until the speaker is properly aligned and held
tight to the wall surface. Caution: Do not over tighten!
Aiming the Tweeter
Carefully place your fingertips at the plastic edges of
the tweeter housing.
Using gentle pressure, swivel the tweeter to aim the axis
of the tweeter toward the listening area. You can use a
piece of music with a solid center-imaged vocalist to
assist in correctly aiming the tweeter. When the
tweeters are properly aligned, you will hear a coherent
and stable center image from your listening position.
Usually, it is sufficient to aim the tweeter only as it
handles the frequencies that control the direction of
individual sounds in your audio program material.
Next make sure that the clamps are positioned inside
the frame of the speaker.
With the grill removed, place the speaker in the wall
opening. Make sure that the speaker wire is not hanging
against the speaker where it can vibrate and rattle as the
speaker reproduces your music.
Next, one at a time, turn
each of the six screws
that operate the clamps
counter clockwise a few
turns until you feel the
clamp is loose from its
resting position. Now turn
the screw clockwise until
you feel the clamp contact
the wall surface.

Recommended Speaker Wire Gauges
The resistance of the speaker wire in your installation
can cause your speakers to perform at less than their
optimum quality level. Excess resistance caused by
using an undersized speaker wire can result in loss of
detail and definition in the bass region of your audio
program, as well as loss of dynamic range. Over
extremely long wire runs you may even experience a
loss of high frequency content in the audio signal.
50’ or less - 16 Gauge 2-Cond. CL3 Rated
50’ - 150’ - 12 Gauge 2-Cond. CL3 Rated
150’ - 200’ - 10 Gauge 2-Cond. CL3 Rated
To prevent sonic degradation in your AC Series
speaker installation, total speaker wire resistance
should be kept below 0.5 ohms. The following table
lists recommended speaker wire gauge versus wire
run length.
Painting the Speaker
Two paint shields are included in each AC Series
speaker package. Place the paint shield inside the
frame to protect the speakers. You can now safely
paint the speaker frames to match your wall surface
if you desire.
When painting the grill caution should be taken to
ensure that paint does not clog or congest the
perforated openings in the grill. This would prevent
proper operation of the grill by restricting the airflow
from the individual drivers in the speaker.
Removing the AC Series Speaker
Should it ever become necessary to remove the AC
Series speaker from the wall, simply remove the
grill and turn the six mounting screws counter-
clockwise until you feel the clamps lock out of position
in their resting flange. The speaker should easily
come out of the wall for service or replacement.
Locate a small hook tool
(available at most auto parts
stores or home improvement
shops, resembling a dentist’s
pick- a bent paper clip or
stiff wire will work as well),
hook the metal mesh of the
grill near a corner or edge
and gently pull it towards you.
Only lift the grill 1/4" (6mm) at
this location. Move the tool
1-2" (25-50mm) and repeat
until the grill can be removed
without damaging it (Figure 6).
