Figure 21  Internal Wiring Between Can Terminal Block and Loudspeaker

Internal wiring between 

terminal block and plug-in 

connector to loudspeaker 

(factory wired)  Red arrows 

point to the jumpers between 

the pairs of (+) and (-) terminals 

in the highlighted area of this

showing the location of the 

socket for the wiring connector 

from the back can 

Close-up view of socket for the 

wiring connector from the back 

can 

Connect the plug from the can 

(or from the conduit wiring, see 

Figure 22) to this socket on the 

loudspeaker assembly 

The loudspeaker is now 

connected to the wires from the 

can and is ready to mount in the 

can 

Note: It should be obvious 

that in these photos the 

loudspeaker and can are 

not in place in a ceiling, 

but instead are arranged 

for photographic conve-

nience.

Note:

 All electrical installation connections for loudspeaker lines are subject to 

all applicable governmental building and fire codes. The selection of appropriate 

electrical hardware to interface with the Distributed Design Series loudspeaker lies 

solely with the installation professional. Community recommends that an appro-

priately licensed engineer, electrician, or other professional identify and select the 

appropriate conduit, fittings, wire, etc. for the installation. 

connect the next cable to the remaining 

(+) and (-) terminals. There is no need to 

connect jumpers or try to stuff two wires 

into one terminal block port because each 

pair of (+) and each pair of (-) terminals 

is directly jumpered together on the input 

connector as well as internally on the PC 

board. Due to this internal jumper on the 

connector, the parallel connection will be 

maintained even if the input connector 

comes unplugged from the loudspeaker’s PC 

board. See Figure 21.
