2. Cut out  the hole in the ceiling using a pad saw  

following the broken line indicated on the    

template. Slide the C-ring into the ceiling, 

aligning it over the cut-out hole. (Fig. 2)

3. Follow steps 4 through 6 in section 4 above.

6  Installation of Optional 

Plaster Ring

The optional plaster (mud) ring is designed 

for pre-installation into newly constructed, 

non-suspended ceilings.

1. Nail or screw the plaster ring to the joists. 

(Fig. 1)

2. Lay the speaker wiring to where the speaker  

will be fitted. Complete the plastering work on  

the ceiling.

3. Follow steps 4 through 6 in Section 4 above.

4. Go to Section 7 following for instructions on  

wiring and set-up instructions. 

5. Slide the speaker assembly through the hole.  

Turn the screws (denoted “Screw Fix”) clockwise 

on the front of the speaker to extend the 

mounting wings. Tighten the screws until a firm 

grip is achieved.(NOTE: Screws have a PoziDriv 

head; use of a PoziDriv driver is recommended).  

If using a power driver, Tannoy recommends a  

torque setting of 1.5 Nm. (Fig.2)  

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! 

6. Attach the nylon safety to the hooks on the front  

baffle before attaching the grille by presenting it  

to the speakers and allowing the magnets to pull  

it into position. (With the CMS 403DCe, replace  

the front trim to conceal mounting screws.) 

NOTE ON INSTALLATION OF CMS 403DCe: 

Before tightening the screws in step 5, swivel the 

speaker in the desired direction. When the screws 

are tightened, the speaker will lock into position.
