Aperion 8" In-Wall and In-Ceiling
Thank You… and congratulations
for purchasing Aperion Audio loudspeakers. We think you’ve made an excellent
choice! We’re proud of our speakers and everything that goes into them,
and grateful for this opportunity to show you what they can do. And — once
you listen to them in your home — we trust you’ll be equally grateful you
chose Aperion.
These In-wall In-ceiling are members of the Intimus family, designed
to perform beautifully in home theater applications with other Intimus
speakers as either front or surround speakers. They’re also well suited for
distributing audiophile quality sound throughout your home, even outdoors.

Please Read This Manual Before You Start
Installing Your Speakers.
To be handy, or not to be…
The following pages contain some sound advice, bound to help you get the most out of your
Aperion speakers. You’ll need to decide if you’re really equipped to take this on yourself. Many
do-it-yourselfers have told us, “I couldn’t believe how easy the install was, but running the wire
to the speaker, that took some doing!”
Consider hiring an experienced installer if running the wires seems too difficult or if (like many
of us) you’re uncomfortable cutting holes in your walls without knowing what’s behind them.
Still unsure? You might want to pre-read “Step 2. Cut Holes” and “Step 3. Plan Your Wire Run”.
If at any step in your ownership experience — from installation through adulation — we can
answer a question or be of assistance, just call us toll free at 888.880.8992 or email
[email protected]. We think you’ll find our reputation for top-notch customer
service well deserved.

Step 1. Determine Speaker Placement
We will help you determine the optimal speaker locations sonically speaking, but you will need
to look for the clues that indicate problematic behind-the-wall obstructions. For example, in-wall
wiring often runs straight up or straight out from lights, outlets, switches etc. The same is true
of ducting running to vents.
Once you’ve zeroed in on specific placements for your speakers, mark the spots with tape so, as
you move from location to location, you can make adjustments if needed when you get to the
next step.
Front Three Speakers Placement: The ideal in-wall set-up would be three 8" in-wall
speakers, all mounted vertically, serving as left, right and center channel speakers.
The left and right speakers would be at the same height as the listeners’ ears and TV
(about 40” off the floor) and separated by 45° to 60° (when viewed from the seat i n g
position). The in-wall center channel speaker would be mounted vertically directly above
the TV, although below the TV (mounted upside-down) also works well.
Sometimes, real-world circumstances won’t allow for this ideal in-wall placement. The 8"
in-wall speakers can be mounted horizontally if need be. The 8" in-ceiling speakers, with
their aimable tweeter, will work fine in nearly all ceiling locations. If your TV backs up to
a wall, the in-ceiling speakers will sound best about 24” in front of that wall. If there’s no
wall behind your TV, place these three speakers in the same vertical plane as the TV.

One pair of speakers should be located directly to the sides of the listening area (one on each
side, but you knew that). An additional pair of rear speakers can also be added for 7.1
Surround Sound. If you prefer an ambient and subtle surround sound, such as a dipole speaker
provides, then locate either the 8" In-Wall or 8" In-Ceiling speakers well above ear-level. You
can attain a more direct sound, like what monopole or bipole speakers produce, when placing the
8" In-Wall speakers at or slightly above ear-level. If some speakers need to be further from you
than the others, don’t worry, you can compensate for this later.

Distributing Sound Through Your House - OR Outside
The 8" in-wall and in-ceiling speakers are well suited for delivering quality sound
throughout your house and even outdoors. Adjustable treble levels enable them to
adapt well to almost any placement, their aimable tweeter allows their sound to be
directed towards listening areas, and their weather-resistant drivers,
painted aluminum grills and UV resistant parts let them weather the outdoors.
Indoors, our speakers will sound best if you avoid corner placement. In-wall speakers
should be raised above large in-room obstacles but kept close to ear level. The ideal
in-ceiling speaker location is over the primary listening area, especially if the ceiling is
low. And while our speakers are designed to handle the outdoor elements, they should
be placed out of the extreme sun, rain, snow and gale-force winds as much as possible
(such as under eaves).

Step 2. Cut the Holes
You’ve decided where the speakers will go — it’s time to cut some holes in your wall!
If you do find an obstruction, you can easily
patch the small hole you drilled. Otherwise,
continue with the following steps.
b. Position the template at your chosen
speaker location and trace along the inside
edge. Make sure you keep this line at least
an inch from any stud or firebreak so that the
speaker’s mounting system has the room it
needs.
a. First, locate your wall-studs with a “stud-
finder”. They can be found at hardware
stores. Once you’ve found the wall-studs,
check for obstructions behind your chosen
speaker locations. Drill a small hole in the
center of the area you plan to cut out. Take a
piece of coat hanger wire and bend it at a 90-
degree angle — insert it into the small hole
and fish around to make sure no pipes, studs,
wires or other objects are hiding there.
