per local Building Code requirements) into the selected 
mounting location. Fasten and seal as required.

 IMPORTANT: Step 11 is only for 9/16” T-Bar grid 

systems (both fl ush and Tegular mounting). If your 
ceiling is a 15/16” grid, skip to page 8.

 

  Complete the backbox installation by diagonally 

inserting the removed ceiling tile back into the ceiling 
through the open backbox. Lay the ceiling tile on the 
ledge and tabs at the rear of the backbox. Accessing from 
adjoining openings, secure the tile with bailing wire or

BACKBOX

CAUTION: Use of a safety strap to secure ST2432D 
SpeakerTile systems to backboxes or appropriate 
ceiling structure elements which are sufficiently 
strong and well-attached during installation is 
strongly recommended. It prevents the SpeakerTile 
from falling should a problem occur. The strap must 

be attached to a non-moveable, secure, portion of the 
ceiling structure to function properly.

1. Place the SpeakerTile on a clean work area with the fl at 

surface facing down. Remove all four Tegular Brackets 
located on the center of each side of the frame (see 
Figure 1 on page 2).

2. Locate the pre drilled holes inside the speaker frame 

groove for mounting the two hinges (see 

Figure 8), and 

position the SpeakerTile so that the holes are on the 
upper side.

3. Using the provided long sheet metal screws, secure 

the spring-loaded hinge to the holes on the right side 
of the speaker frame, as shown in 

Figure 16. Be sure that 

the screws are properly tightened.

IMPORTANT NOTE: if a tegular mount is required, 
install the provided spacers under both spring loaded 
and fi xed hinges, as shown in 

Figure 16.

4. Using the provided long sheet metal screws, secure 

the non spring-loaded hinge on the left side of the 
SpeakerTile frame opposite to the spring-loaded hinge. 
Be sure that the screws are properly tightened.

5. Locate  the latch and expanding rivet (supplied). Insert 

the rivet in the Latch and then into the center hole 
located on the SpeakerTile frame, as shown in 

Figure 17. 

Secure by tapping the center pin to set the rivet.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The latch must be opposite to 
the hinges mounted in the previous steps for the 
SpeakerTile to mount properly. Do not set the 
rivet until you confi rm that the hinges and latch are 
installed properly.

6. Being sure that the latch faces the screw previously 

mounted on the backbox in 

Step 5 on page 5, install 

the SpeakerTile into the backbox by FIRST inserting
