module to the installation surface for a seamless and
gapless grille finish that blends into the plane of the
ceiling. This is especially important for flush installations.
There are two types of spacers available for Sonance SA:
Wallboard Spacers and Dimensional Spacers.
WALLBOARD SPACERS
Wallboard Spacers are conveniently sized so that when
used properly, the final speaker module height aligns
with common wallboard thicknesses. Each Wallboard
Spacer is color-coded and labeled with the wallboard
panel thickness it is intended to be used with. For
instance, the blue spacer labeled “For 5/8” Wallboard”
should be used with 5/8” wallboard. Some of the
Wallboard Spacers are to be used with various stacks
of wallboard (sometimes referred to in the trade as
“double-rock”). For instance, the green spacer labeled
“For 5/8” + 5/8” Wallboard” should be used when two
layers of 5/8” wallboard are installed. If the speaker
module height does not perfectly match the ceiling
surface, multiple spacers can be stacked and/or the
included white 1mm shims may be used to fine-tune the
speaker module height. Note that the actual thickness
of the Wallboard Spacers are arbitrary dimensions

SPACER SHIMS
FLUSH WALLBOARD SPACERS
(calculated to wallboard dimension)
that are meant to be used with common ceiling panel
thicknesses. If a specific dimensional thickness is
required, which is common for solid surface installations
such as tongue and groove wood ceilings, the Small
Aperture Dimensional Spacers are an alternative
solution.
DIMENSIONAL SPACERS
Dimensional Spacers are made to precise thicknesses as
specified on the face of the spacer. These spacers are
black in color with the thickness dimensions labeled in
both imperial and metric. If the speaker module height
does not perfectly match the ceiling surface, multiple
spacers can be stacked and/or the included white 1mm
shims may be used to fine-tune the speaker module
height.
Wallboard Spacers and Dimensional Spacers may be
mixed and matched and stacked in any combination.
However, regardless of which spacer type is used and
how they are stacked, the total spacer thickness must
not exceed 2” (50mm); otherwise, the performance of
the product will be compromised.
NOTE: Spacers for Flush Drywall installations are
square in shape. Spacers for all other installation
types are circular. Although there is no dierence in
functionality, they must not be interchanged.
