New Construction and Retrofi t Installations
Note:
A new construction rough-in kit and back box kit are optionally
available from Atlantic Technology. Please refer to the instructions included
in those kits for their use. If the rough in kit has been used please go directly
to Step 2 below.
Mounting Hole Specifi cations:
ICTS-6.3e: Diameter = 7-7/8 in., 200mm; Depth = 4-3/8 in., 112mm
ICTS-8.3e: Diameter = 9-5/8 in., 245mm; Depth = 4-7/8 in., 124mm
1
Cut an appropriately sized opening in the ceiling material. Be sure that
the ceiling material can support the weight of the speak er. Also be sure
that the sides of the opening are at least 1-1/2 inches away from any
beams or studs within the cavity. If it is not, the rotating clamps will be
restricted in their move ment and may not clamp properly.
2
Be sure that all foreign material in the ceiling is kept out of the speaker

assembly, particularly the back of the woofer cone. (There is a cloth
shield on the rear of the woofer, but please use care anyway.) If the
ceiling is void of insulation it will be ben e fi cial to the performance of
the speaker to install an At lan tic Tech nol o gy foam Sound Damping Kit
behind and around the as sem bly.

IMPORTANT:
Depending on the sound mode (mono, stereo or sur-
round) you intend to use, certain settings must be made before installing
your speaker(s).
Jumper Settings
Find the jumper pins on the crossover board of your
speaker. They are the same for both the ICTS-6.3e and ICTS-8.3e. For Stereo
operation, install the jumper blocks as shown in Figure 2A. For Mono/Tri-
Vector operation, install the jumper blocks as shown in Figure 2B.
Tweeter Settings
To set the tweeters for Normal (mono or stereo)
operation, set the upper selector switch located on the tweeter assembly
to NOR. For TriVector surround operation, set the selector to SUR (see
Fig. 3A). Use the high frequency level adjustment, also located on the
tweeter assembly, to increase (+) or decrease (–) the level of high
frequency sound produced by the tweeters. These settings can easily
be changed after the speaker is in stalled (see Fig. 3B).
4
Attach the previously installed audio feed wires to the ap pro pri ate speaker
terminals. For Mono or TriVector operation ei ther set of input terminals
may be used. For Stereo operation one set of leads is attached to each
set of input terminals. Sim ply remove 1/2 inch of insulation from the
end of each input wire. Push down on the terminal con nec tor and a
large opening will appear in the shaft of the con nec tor that is capable of
holding up to 10 gauge wire. Insert the bare wire into the opening and
release the terminal. Be sure to observe correct polarity, connecting the
positive (+) leads to the red terminals and the negative (-) leads to the
black terminals. Also be sure that no stray strands of wire touch across
any terminals. See Figure 4.
5
Check to ensure that the rotating clamps are “parked” and not sticking
5
5
out over the edge of the assembly.
6
Push the speaker assembly straight up into the opening with the tweeters
6
6
oriented as noted previously.
7
Tighten the mounting screws one at a time. As you tighten, the rotating
7
7
clamps on the back of the assembly will turn and lower, until they contact
the back of the ceiling and clamp the ceiling between themselves and
the trim ring. See Figure 6.

Start the system and make sure the speakers are operating prop er ly. If
9

necessary, adjust the high frequency switch (on the tweeter assembly,
under the grille) to get the most natural balance of sound throughout
the listening area.
