UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

Carefully open the shipping cartons and remove all

1. If not previously done, run speaker wires or conduit 

(as per local Building Code requirements) into the se-
lected mounting location. Fasten and seal as required. 
Connect the speaker wires to the correct (+) and (–) 
SpeakerTile terminals and select the appropriate power 
tap. Insure that all connections and wiring runs are in 
compliance with required codes and regulations.

IMPORTANT: To avoid any noise or damage to the 
system when in operation be sure speaker wires or 
other objects are not in contact with the back of the 
SpeakerTile surface. To avoid damage to the front
