CLOUD 4 and CLOUD 6 – Installation Guide

INSTALLATION AND WIRING
The COMMUNITY speaker installation system for CLOUD 4 and CLOUD 6 has been designed so
that the entire installation can be done from beneath the ceiling. In some cases, with a suspended grid
ceiling, it may be easier to access from both the top and bottom of the ceiling tile during the
installation process. Typical installation hardware needed for either suspended ceilings or sheetrock
ceilings is included.
Cut out the hole either by tracing the
cardboard cutout template included
with your speakers, or with a
circular cutter set to the appropriate
cutout size (the Community hole
saw, model CU-CUTTER, is
designed to make the perfect size
hole).
NOTE:
The cut out diameters for
the CLOUD 4 and 6 speakers are as
follows:
•
CLOUD 4: 7 inches
•
CLOUD 6: 8 ¾ inches.
If the wiring had been pre-installed,
pull the wiring through the cutout
hole.
Figure 3 – Cut ceiling hole
All COMMUNITY CLOUD 4 and CLOUD 6 speakers come packaged with two types of backing
hardware:
1 Split Ring (a c–shaped backing plate)
and
2 Tile Rails
Suspended Ceilings
– Insert the Split Ring through the hole cut in the ceiling tile. Place the Split
Ring around the hole with the tabs located as shown in Figure 4. Insert the tile rails through the hole
cut in the ceiling tile. Snap the two rails into the two tabs in the Split Ring and align the rails so that
the ends extend OVER the T-channel grid on the side of the tile. Secure the rails onto the Split Ring
tabs by inserting a screw through each tab into the rail, as shown in Figure 4.
This can all be accomplished from below the ceiling tile if necessary.
