QUICK START GUIDE - ic MODELS
1 - CEILING CUTOUT
Using the supplied cutout template, mark and cut a hole in
the drywall at the desired loudspeaker location.
Figures 1a. and 1b.
OPERATING MODES - SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS - INDOOR/OUTDOOR INSTALLATIONS
Your Theory ic loudspeaker can be used in LoZ (16 ohms) or HiZ (transformer) operating modes. Make sure you know the desired operation for your system prior to installing the loud-
speakers as this will determine the wiring scheme required.
Your Theory in-ceiling loudspeaker system may be installed into ordinary architectural walls and ceilings. If installed in the ceiling, a safety cable must be used to tether the loudspeaker to a
rigid structural element such as an architectural stud or joist. (See Step 4)
If installing outdoors, a special-purpose all-weather grille is required. (Sold separately).
Do not use the indoor grilles (included) in outdoor installations
.
Your Theory in-ceiling loudspeaker requires extensive signal processing and therefore must be driven by Theory Amplified Loudspeaker Controllers only.
Theory loudspeakers and
Loudspeaker Controllers work together as a system.
DO NOT CONNECT YOUR THEORY LOUDSPEAKER TO THIRD PARTY AMPLIFIERS AS DOING SO WILL VOID THE LOUDSPEAKER WARRANTY.
3 - CONNECT ic LOUDSPEAKER(S)
Plug the male Euroblock connector into the female connec-
tor found underneath the terminal cover of the loudspeaker
back can.
Figure 3
.
2 - CONNECT WIRES TO EURO PLUGS*
Loosen the terminal cover retension screw and rotate the
cover out of the way to expose the input Euro connector.
For LoZ or 16-ohm operation, connect a single “home run”
two-conductor speaker wire from the ic loudspeaker to
the Theory Loudspeaker Controller output. Up to FOUR
ic ceiling loudspeakers configured for 16-ohm operation
may be wired in parallel to a single Loudspeaker Controller
channel.
Figure 2a
.
For transformer “70V” or “70V/100V” operation, many ic
loudspeakers may be connected to a qualified Loudspeaker
Controller output channel by connecting the ic speakers in
parallel using the connector loop outputs.
