properly aligned and held securely to the ceiling
– do not over tighten to break the tabs or
damage the drywall.
Painting the Frame and Grill
The supplied template can be used as a paint
shield when trimmed. Carefully trim along the
inner line and place the paint shield inside the
speaker frame with the grill removed. The frame
can now be painted to match the ceiling surface.
Use an appropriate primer for painting over
plastic.
Only the front of the grill should be painted, paint
on the sides will make the grill difficult to install
onto the speaker frame. Be careful not to clog
any of the grill perforations as it may affect
speaker performance by restricting airflow.
Tweeter Aiming
Speaker performance is optimal when aimed at
the listener. Because it is impractical to install in-
ceiling speakers at an angle, it is sufficient to
aim just the tweeter as it reproduces the most
directionally sensitive audio frequencies. For this
reason, the M-8C/M-6C is built with a tweeter
that can be aimed towards the listening area.
To aim the tweeter, gently press on its circular
outer edge. Avoid touching the dome diaphragm.
It helps to listen to a familiar piece of music with
strong central image such as vocals while
aiming the tweeter. When the tweeters are
properly aimed, the center image should be
coherent and stable from the listening position.
Speaker Removal
The M-8C/M-6C can be easily removed should it
ever become necessary. Remove the grill using
a small hook tool available from hardware and
auto parts stores. Loosen the four screws until
the tabs release from the ceiling and tuck back
into the speaker frame. Pull the M-8C/M-6C out
of the ceiling and disconnect the speaker wire.
The speaker can now be easily replaced or
serviced.
