3. Strip ¼” – ½” of insulation from each lead of the speaker wire.
Twist the strands or tin the exposed wire with solder to ensure
that there are no stray strands. (Stray strands that touch each
other can cause a short-circuit that can damage the amplifier.)
4. The speaker ’s positive connector post is labeled with a red dot;
the negative post is labeled with a black dot (see
Figure 13
).
Push the top of each connector post down to open the connec-
tor and insert the exposed wires into the holes in the posts.
Double-check that you connected amplifier “+” to speaker “+”
and amplifier “–” to speaker “–”.
5. Once you have verified that the connections are correct,
tighten the wire tie to secure the speaker cable to the BPS-1
cabinet. This will help prevent the speaker from being
accidentally disconnected in the future.
Installing the Architectural Finish Component
The Architectural Finish Component is installed after the
ceiling is drywalled, finished and painted.

1. The foam-tape covered rim on the back of the Finish
Component inserts into the groove around the outer
edge of the Bandpass Connector. See
Figure 14
.
2. Insert about half of the Architectural Finish Component
rim into the groove on the Bandpass Connector. Gently
fit the remaining half of the rim by working around the
Baffle, fitting the rim into the groove as you go.
