1. 

Choose the appropriate mounting location 

for each speaker.

Flange Installation:

Speaker Installation:

2. 

Remove the speaker and flange/grille 

assemblies from their boxes.  Using the supplied 
cutout template, carefully mark the area to be 
cut out. Using a drywall knife or saw, cut the hole 
in the drywall and prepare the speaker wires for 
connection to the speaker terminals. 

3.

 Remove the grille from the mounting flange 

by pressing it from behind. Attach 
the provided white gasket material to the 
outside, rear edge of the flange.  Insert the 
mounting flange into the hole with the end 
marked “TOP” facing up. Loosen the flange 
clamping screws one turn (counter clockwise) 
to release the clamp. Use a level to insure that 
the flange is square. Next tighten all 4 flange 
clamp screws evenly to secure the flange to the 
wall.  It is best to tighten each screw with the 
same amount of force (torque).  

CAUTION: 

Do 

not over tighten.

7.  

Tighten down the four QM clamps by pressing 

them down flush with the baffle’s surface.

6. 

Insert the baffle into the mounting flange, 

aligning QM clamps with the four QM posts. Also 
make sure that the tweeter is placed at 
the end of the flange marked “TOP”.

4.  

Use the provided tool to fully open the four 

Quick Mount™ (QM) clamps. If the tool is not 
available a small screw driver can be used.

NOTE – 

When deciding upon a location 

consider the following:

•  Be certain your speaker wires can be run to or are 

accessible from these locations.

•  Make certain the wall or ceiling material is sturdy 

enough to support the weight and vibration of the 
speakers.

•  It is recommended that our pre-construction rough 

in brackets (part number RB-18*) be used whenever 
possible in new construction.

•  Be certain the area behind the speaker is free of 

obstacles such as wall studs, electrical wiring, pipes, 
etc.

•  Each speaker should be positioned properly relative 

to the listening area for good coverage. 

•  Audio performance and room-to-room isolation will 

be improved if there is some fiberglass insulation 
placed loosely behind the speaker.

8. 

Using some familiar source material, listen to the 

tweeter’s balance with the level control in each of 
its three positions to find your favorite.

9. 

Carefully install grille by pressing it into the gap 

between the flange and the baffle and enjoy your 
new Phase Technology CI speakers.

5.  

Connect the speaker wires to the spring loaded 

input terminals on the rear of the speaker, making 
sure no loose strands are exposed.
