Thanks for purchasing our APart CMSQ108 speaker. We have put great care and 
effort in the design in order to bring you high quality sound. The CMSQ108 is an 
elegant and very natural sounding in-wall/in-ceiling speaker. It easily outperforms 
many standard cabinet speakers, both in sound quality and appearance.

CMSQ108 has a nominal impedance of 8Ω, allowing you to connect up to 2 
speakers in parallel per 4Ω stable amplifier channel. Easy to integrate in high-end 
audio chains, cinema surround systems or even high quality BGM systems, this 
speaker offers a soundstage, unheard in this price range. 

Introduction

•  When making the hole in your mounting panel to mount the APart CMSQ108 

speaker, make sure there is sufficient clearance behind the panel (no 
obstructions like A/C channels, power lines etc).

•  Take care of your speaker wires, they should be free of damage. Damaged 

speaker wires might result in poor sound quality and can damage amplifiers.

•  Only use accessories specified by the manufacturer
•  Make sure the mounting panel can support the speakers weight.
•  Use sufficient amount of speakers to avoid death-spots.
•  No mains power shall be connected to the loudspeakers, doing so will damage 

the speaker.
