SONAFILL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
The Sonafill™ system is composed of four 6” x 12” damping tiles and  
two square acoustic pillows. The four tiles are adhered to the inside  
surface of the wall above and below the speaker cutout; the pillows are  
placed in the wall cavity above and below the speaker cutout. The  
Sonafill system greatly reduces the coloration caused by drywall reso-  
nance. Another benefit of the Sonafill system is the reduction in sound  
transmitted to the room located behind the speaker.  
Step 1  
Sonafill installation begins with the drywall installed and finished and  
the speaker mounting hole already cut. Any fiberglass already in the  
stud bay where your Sonafill will be installed should be pushed away  
from the speaker cutout approximately 15up and down. This allows  
enough space for installation of Sonafill and its proper operation.

Step 2  
Locate the four Sonafill adhesive-backed damping tiles. Lightly brush  
off any debris from the inside surface of the drywall where the Sonafill  
will be installed. Peel the protective coating off the back of one of the  
tiles. Fit the tile through the speaker cutout with the adhesive side fac-  
ing you. Attach the first tile 2above the speaker cutout and to the left  
of center. Install the second tile 2above the speaker cutout and to the  
right of center. Repeat the process for the remaining two tiles 2below  
the speaker cutout. The adhesive on the tiles is tenacious; be sure to  
plan the installation of the four tiles before attaching.

Acoustic Pillow  
Step 3  
Locate the two acoustic pillows. Install one pillow inside the wall 2”  
above the speaker cutout. Install the second pillow 2below the speak-  
er cutout. The pillows contain a randomly-twisted fiberglass. This  
type of fiberglass is designed to eliminate sagging and movement after  
installation, so the acoustic pillows will stay where they are needed.  
Once installed, the acoustic pillows break up any standing waves that  
occur in a wall cavity.

Step 4  
Install the speakers in the wall as usual. You will notice a dramatic  
increase in the clarity and definition of bass and mid bass frequencies.  
The reduction of drywall resonance will be most noticeable on male  
voice, drums, bass guitar, as well as any type of surround sound effect  
containing low to mid frequencies.
