Attaching the CLOUD12 Loudspeaker to the C12BB3 Backbox
NOTE:
The CLOUD12 loudspeaker weighs approximately 20 lbs and the C12BB3 backbox
weighs at least 40 lbs.
Both are awkward and difficult to handle. Lift the CLOUD12 by the
speaker basket or main support backing only; do not use the terminal strip or the autoformer
(70V/100V versions only) as a lift point.
It is highly recommended that two people work as a
team to install the C12BB3 backbox into the ceiling and the CLOUD12 assembly into the
backbox. Beware of sharp edges on the cast woofer basket. These are a normal remnant
of the casting process.
Required tools:
•
One #2 Philips Screwdriver
•
Safety glasses and other related personal safety gear are always recommended when working
overhead.
•
It is highly recommended that two people participate in this portion of the installation. Placing and
installing loudspeaker assemblies in a ceiling is a dangerous enterprise for one person to undertake.
