USER GUIDE
To rotate the driver, proceed as follows:
1. Place the enclosure face-up on a bench, table or other suitable flat surface.
2. Follow the instructions for grille removal in the section below “Grille removal and
replacement”.
3. Using a No. 2 Pozi screwdriver (CDD5) or a hex key (CDD6: 2.5 mm AF; CDD8/10:
4 mm AF; CDD12/15: 5 mm AF), remove the screws securing the driver to the baffle
board. There will be between four and eight screws depending on the particular CDD
model.
4. Gently lift the driver assembly out, rotate it through 90° and replace it.
5. Refit the screws removed in Step 3.
6. Follow the instructions for grille replacement in the section below “Grille removal and
replacement”.
7. Follow the instructions in the section below “Badge rotation”.
Note that if, for any reason, it is necessary to mount the CDD speaker in portrait mode
“upside-down”, the driver must be rotated through 180° using the same procedure described
above.
GRILLE REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
Grilles on CDD Series cabinets are designed to be easy to remove to facilitate driver rotation. No
screws are used to hold them in place; they are manufactured with a natural spring which holds
them in place in slots in each side of the cabinets. The grilles have two or three gaps in the sides
into which an appropriately-sized flat-bladed screwdriver can be inserted to assist in removal.
Insert the screwdriver blade into one of the gaps - either at the top or bottom of the cabinet
(don’t start in the middle).
