Installing the S90 in a Wall
Your dealer has extensive knowledge of wall construction and will customize these
installation instructions to suit the needs of your particular situation. But these
notes provide an overview of the process.
Note that the Regenerative Transmission Line opening that vents the low
frequencies into the room may be placed either up near the ceiling, or down near
the floor. In most rooms, these are largely equivalent positions in terms of
acoustics. The difference will usually be aesthetic rather than performance- based.
As seen from above, a cross sectional view of the S90 as mounted in a typical 2 x 6
stud wall looks like this:
The front board of the S90 is made from 5⁄8” MDO plywood, which presents a
smooth, paintable finish surface similar to dry wall. It can be butted up against the
5⁄8” dry wall, taped, and spackled, and painted like any other section of wall. It
will also readily accept skim-coating if the construction calls for plaster walls.
