Best Practices
• In most cases, it is easiest to install a speaker system by pre-wiring and then installing the speakers.
• Plan the locations of the speaker holes, volume control boxes, and the amplifier and be sure wiring can be
routed everywhere necessary before cutting any holes.

• Install spare wires for redundancy when you must run wire through a location that will not be accessible later.
• When you aren’t enclosing speaker wire fully in conduit, make sure to leave enough of a wire loop for the speaker
wiring to allow you to connect the terminal to the speaker either on the ground, or at the top of the ladder. A short
wire loop makes attaching the speaker wires more difficult to work with at the top of the ceiling grid.
Wiring Connections

Loosen the slide screws on the clamping plate, and slide the plate up.

3.
Strip the insulation on each conductor back ¼
"
and use the small flathead screwdriver to secure each wire into
the connector.
NOTE:
Make sure no loose strands meet between the + and – connection and that the polarity is correct. There are
2 + and – connections on the terminal for ease of attaching a loop out wire to additional speakers. You may
connect to either the inner or the outer connection, but we recommend keeping the wiring consistent among
all of your speakers. For example, use the inner connection for your speaker connection and use the outer
connection for your loop out to the next speaker.
4.
Replace the screw terminal, slide the clamping plate on the back of the speaker closed to cinch the wires, then
tighten the slide screws to secure.
