Installation
Saros
®
speakers by Crestron
®
deliver professional grade
performance and flexible installation in a range of popular
sizes for demanding commercial applications. Solid
construction and high end components are hallmarks of the
complete Saros speaker line.
Ideal for use in background or foreground music, paging,
and sound reinforcement systems, Saros speakers are
engineered to achieve smooth, even coverage, high output,
and clear, natural sound quality through the employment of
horn loaded titanium dome tweeters, high efficiency
damped cone woofers, ported enclosures, and precisely
tuned crossovers.

Install Speaker Cable
Observe all local codes and install speaker cable from the audio source location to the
closest ceiling truss location where a speaker will be suspended, allowing sufficient length to
hang down slightly below the planned speaker height. If the speakers are to be connected in
parallel, install a second cable at that location and route it to the next speaker location.
Repeat this process at each speaker location.
Install Wire Rope
1.
For each speaker to be installed, remove the top cover and route
the free end of the supplied 12 ft (3.66 m) wire rope up through the
top cover. Connect the attached snap hook assembly to secure the
wire rope to the speaker rigging point.
2.
Attach the free end of the wire rope to the ceiling truss, adjust the
length so the speaker is at the desired height, and secure it using
the supplied Gripple
®
wire rope grip. (Refer to the supplied
instructions for proper use of the Gripple.)
1.
Refer to the illustration to the right, with the top cover off to expose the supplied
terminal block.
2.
At each speaker location, route the speaker cable(s) hanging from the ceiling area
through the top cover, and dress the cables to the wire rope using plastic cable ties.
3.
If using a supplied weather boot, slide the speaker cables through the weather boot.
Strip the ends of the cables approximately 1/8” to 3/16” (~3 mm to ~5 mm) and, if the
wire is stranded, twist the strands.
4.
Connect the wires from the amplifier (or the previous speaker) to the supplied terminal
block, using the outer
IN
terminals: red to
+
and black to
–
. Use the inner
+
and
–
THRU
terminals to connect the speaker wires to the next (parallel) speaker.
5.
Speaker removal is accomplished by reversing steps 1 through 4 above.
Install/Remove Grille
The zero-bezel frameless grille is held in place by powerful magnets. A safety tether is
included to prevent any possibility of the grille falling from the ceiling. With the tether
attached, place the grille in position on the speaker. To remove the grille, grip the edges and
pull away from the speaker.
Paint the Speaker and Grille
Speaker and grille painting should be done prior to mounting.
1.
Carefully remove the material on the underside of the grille and set it aside for
reinstallation. It may be necessary to use a knife or other sharp instrument to free an
edge of the material so it can be peeled away. Use care to avoid cutting or tearing the
material.
2.
Dry brush or lightly spray the surface to be painted. Use care to avoid clogging the
holes in the grille.
3.
Once the paint is dry, reinstall the material to the underside.
4.
Remove the speaker top cover and paint the top cover and main speaker assembly
separately, being careful to mask areas that should not be painted.
