When assembling the clamp/plug assemblies take care not to overtighten the screw and nut combination to
avoid damage and allow for some adjustment of position (see assembly instructions that follow).
A ” open-end or adjustable wrench and a #2 Phillips tip screw driver, not included, will be required for
assembly.
Two people are recommended during the assembly process to snug the panels together while attaching the
tubing clamp assemblies to minimize gaps between the panels.
Use assistance when moving and hanging the completed cloud assembly to prevent damage.
Suspension hardware and ceiling anchors are not included. Be sure that the ceiling and anchors used will
support at least 50 lbs.

Auralex® ProCloud-48 Assembly
ProCloud
Panel 1 ProCloud
Panel 2 ProCloud
Panel 3 ProCloud
Panel 4
Each pair of rails and anchors at each end of
the cloud assembly are inset different distances
from the panel ends (6 ” & 9 ”).
SIDE B
SIDE A
Lateral offset of each rail relative to the outer edge of the
panels is slightly different to minimize hardware visibility
from the outside edges (3 ¾” & 4 ¾).
Confirm panel alignment and draw reference lines
connecting the previously applied marks.
Working from side B, place marks on all four panels,
9” from the ends of the panels. Place marks on
panels 2 and 3, 6” from the ends of the panels
(see assembly drawing).
Align all four panels face down on a clean work surface.
Working from side A, place a mark on all four panels,
6” from the ends of the panels. Place marks on
panels 2 and 3, 9” from the ends of the panels
(see assembly drawing).
Apply ‘match marks’ between all three panels to assure proper panel alignment during assembly.
Mark the anchor locations through the holes in the alignment jig.
Place the anchor jig over the reference line and
justify with the sides of the panels.
Capture the alignment jig between the hex driver and the anchor using the
pre-drilled holes in the jig.
Anchor Installation, Order of Installation and Assistance Is Important:
Align the first two panels and snug them together.
Position the tip of the hex driver over the marked location of the outboard
anchor.
Turn the hex driver clockwise to install the anchor into the panel while
holding the alignment jig in position with the other hand.
NOTE: The anchor will tend to wander while installing so use moderate
lateral pressure to guide it in. DO NOT over tighten!
Keep the first hex driver in place and install another anchor using a second
hex driver in the adjacent hole in the same panel. Use the same installation
techniques as before to stabilize the jig and guide in this anchor.
Install the third anchor at the far end of the second panel using the
third hex driver.
Move the second hex driver to the remaining position and install the final
anchor. Repeat this procedure when installing the remaining anchors.
Align tubing and four assembled clamp / ratchet plugs along the row of installed anchors.
Installed Anchors.
Slide S hooks onto tubing prior to securing
them to the panels (see assembly drawing for
recommended locations).
Align the end of the tube with the outside edge
of the anchor’s center hole.
Assemble clamp/ratchet plug components. Note
order of assembly and orientation of ribs on the
ratchet plug (angled away from the screw head).
Snug screw and nut so the position of the
ratchet plug can be moved in the slotted hole
of the clamp with moderate pressure. DO NOT
over tighten.
Snap the clamp plug assembly onto the end of the tube and partially install
the first clamp/ratchet plug into the outboard anchor. Snap the other clamps
onto the tube in alignment with the other three anchors. Make any needed
adjustments to the ratchet plug positions by sliding them in the clamp’s
slotted hole.
Fly the cloud from the four installed S hooks using suspension hardware and anchor points appropriate for your ceiling construction.
Assume a 50 lb. assembly weight for the ProCloud-48.
Press each clamp/ratchet plug assemblies firmly into each anchor working
in a back and forth sequential manner. If necessary use a socket or wrench
placed over the lock nut to assist in pushing the ratchet plug completely into
the anchor.
Use the same techniques to join
the third and fourth panel to the
cloud assembly.
