Atmos
When installing an Atmos system, we would recommend using the C380-IDC or CPCT380-IDC for the Atmos channels.
These speakers employ a unique pivoting IDC (Inverted Dual Concentric) midrange/tweeter module which offers a
wider dispertion charectoristic which works very good for for Atmos duties. More information on both the C380-IDC
and CPCT380-IDC can be found on our website: monitoraudio.com
The reason we do not suggest the Platinum In-Ceiling II for Atmos duties is due to the tweeter being a fixed, angled
position. The C380-IDC and CPCT380-IDC on the other hand offer up to 18 degrees pivot in all directions and can be
fitted directly above the seating position in the case of a 2 Atmos speaker setup.
Please see below for adeal positioning of 2 or 4 speaker setups.
Prior to Fitting the Platinum In-Ceiling II Speakers
CAUTION:
These Custom Install loudspeakers can only be fixed into plasterboard (dry-lined) or suspended
ceilings/ walls with a thickness of up to 45mm (1 3/4”). Solid wall installation will require channelling out
and frame work constructed to provide a structure for the Tri Grip dog legs to clamp to. For safety reasons,
if you are unsure of your ability to provide a secure and safe fixing, do not attempt to fix these speakers, please obtain
the services of a competent and qualified trades person.
CAUTION:
Ensure that there are no water pipes or electricity cables running within the wall structure before
cutting the speaker apertures. Work from secure steps and avoid trailing wires.
Over Tightening Warning
Attention installers:
Do not over-tighten the Tri-Grip Dog Leg clamps. Over tightening the clamping mechanism on any in ceiling/ in wall
speaker can result in damage to the speaker mounting hardware, ceiling/ wall or speaker frame, and/ or deflection in
the speaker frame during installation.
If you notice any of the above during installation, you have overtightened the Tri Grip dog leg. Back off the mounting
screw until deflection is reduced to allow the product to sit firmly against the ceiling / wall.
