Thread the plain ends of the main cable and
safety cables up through the loudspeaker top
cover as shown in Figure 2.
Before inserting cables into the Gripples
,
attach the #2 snap hooks to the suspension
bracket atop the loudspeaker as shown in Figure
1. The main cable attaches to the center hole, and
the safety cable to either of the two outer holes
depending on the desired orientation. Make sure
the spring-loaded safety catch is positioned as
shown so it closes the loop to prevent accidental
detachment.
Note: Two 15-foot cable kits with Gripple
Speed Clamps are included; longer kits
are available as noted under the Optional
Accessory listings herein.

Two 2-conductor Euroblock plugs are supplied
with the pendant loudspeaker and connect to a
jack on the top of the loudspeaker As shown in
Figure 4. Thread the audio cable down through
the loudspeaker top cover, and then strip
approximately
1

-inch (4mm) of insulation from
the cable’s inner wire conductors. Insert the wire
ends into the Euroblock plug terminals using the
proper polarity (marked on plugs and jack). If you
daisy chain an audio cable to the next loudspeaker,
bring it through the top cover as well and connect
that second cable’s wire pair to another Euroblock
plug. Secure all wires by tightening the screws in
the end of the Euroblock plugs.

Insert the Euroblock plug(s) into the jack atop
the loudspeaker as shown in Figure 5. No jumper
is necessary because the pairs of conductors in
the Euroblock jack are internally connected to
pass the signal through.

You can now fine-adjust the loudspeaker height
if necessary.
A.
Lift and support the loudspeaker with one
hand and then,
B.
Pull the main support cable end to take up the
slack. The split cover plug is not yet pressed into
position in this photo.
The Gripple Speed Clamp automatically tightens
from the cable tension when you allow the
loudspeaker to hang. Test by gradually lowering
your hand. Don’t just “drop” the loudspeaker.
When you have the proper height set, then take
up the slack on the safety cable by pulling its free
end. Since the loudspeaker is already supported
by the main cable you don’t have to hold it while
doing this.
CAUTION: DO NOT PULL THE
CABLES TO RAISE THE
LOUDSPEAKER

For clarity in Figure 3 we are not showing the
loudspeaker or its cover, but these should actu-
ally be in place per Figures 1 and 2. Now Refer to
Figure 3 for the following steps:
A.
Beginning with the main support cable, insert
its plain end through the Gripple Speed Clamp.
Loop the cable over (or through) the ceiling an-
chor point, thread the plain end back through the
Gripple and pull that cable end so that the loop is
hanging a little lower than where you think you’ll
want the loudspeaker’s attachment point to be
located.
B.
Repeat this with the safety cable and Gripple,
looping the cable over or through an indepen-
dent attachment point.
C.
Support the loudspeaker with your hand at the
desired height.
D.
Pull the end of the main cable to take up any
slack.
E.
Pull the end of the safety cable to take up any
slack. See Figure 6 for further height adjustments.
