Back Can S/PMK 8/PMK 6/PMK 3
Installing the PMK without the Back Can
1. Assemble the PMK with the mounting brackets attached to the PMK frame.
(See Fig. 4 on page 11).
2. Hold the PMK assembly onto the joists, with the circular lip of the frame
pointing into the room.
3. Make sure the PMK assembly is centered, plumb, and level. Secure it to the
joists using four woodscrews.
4. Run speaker wire to this location (Fig. 8). Leave enough slack to make the
connections when that time comes. Tie down the speaker cable to prevent
it moving and rattling in operation. Make sure that the speaker cable
does not come into contact with nails or screws that might damage the
electrical insulation.
Installing the Drywall
1. The installation of drywall around the PMK location is best arranged so there
are no drywall joins near the PMK (Fig. 9).
2. If you want to cut the drywall aperture before installation, use the PMK
aperture as a guide. Step 5 below describes cutting after the installation. Use
whichever method you prefer.
3. Use adhesive on the wall studs and the front face of the back can (if used),
and install the drywall using drywall screws approximately 8 to 10 inches
apart. This will help prevent wall rattling and drywall movement and noises
during operation. If the loudspeaker is being installed on an interior wall,
then adhesive and extra screws may also be added to the drywall used in the
room behind the loudspeaker.
4. Note: Before adding any drywall screws where the metal back can is
installed, drill small pilot holes into the metal of the back can.
5. After the drywall installation, carefully cut out the hole in the drywall with
a suitable handtool, using the inside aperture of the PMK as a guide (Fig.
10 and 11). Be careful not to cut the speaker wires or cut into the back can
acoustic foam. Make sure the drywall aperture is no larger than the inside
aperture of the PMK frame. Remove any dust or debris from within the
back can.
6. The PCI and QCI ceiling loudspeaker quick start guide includes the
procedures for installing the loudspeakers into the wall apertures.

Cutout Procedure without the PMK
If you are using the back can, but not the PMK pre-mount kits, then follow this
procedure below for cutting out the drywall.
Circular cutout templates are supplied with the loudspeakers, and act as a guide
for cutting out the correctly sized hole in the wall (Fig. 12).
Follow the procedure steps below in the order in which they are presented. Read
all the instructions before starting.
1. In the position of the back can, add the supplied template to the drywall,
centered exactly on the center of the back can.
2. Using the template, carefully cut out a hole in the drywall using a suitable
handtool. Be careful not to damage the back can, its acoustic foam, or the
speaker wires. Remove any dust and debris from the hole.
3. The PCI and QCI ceiling loudspeaker quick start guides include the
procedures for installing the loudspeakers into the aperture.
