Handling and Maintenance
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the device, since this
might discolor the panel.
• When cleaning the device, use a dry and soft cloth. Do not use paint
thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping
cloths.
• Condensation can occur in the device due to rapid, drastic changes in
ambient temperature-when the device is moved from one location to
another, or air conditioning is turned on or off, for example. Using the
device while condensation is present can cause damage. If there is
reason to believe that condensation might have occurred, leave the
device for several hours until the condensation has completely dried out.
• Be sure to observe the amplifier’s rated load impedance (see
SPECIFICATIONS), particularly when connecting speakers in parallel.
Connecting an impedance load outside the amplifier’s rated range can
damage the amplifier.
• When connecting the speakers with high impedance, be sure that the
total rated input capacity of the speakers does not exceed the output
power of the amplifier.
• When using a high-impedance speaker connection, make sure the audio
signal is passed through an 80 Hz or above high-pass filter before being
input to the speakers.
• ABOUT THE PROTECTION CIRCUIT
This speaker system has an internal protection circuit that shuts off the
speaker unit when an excessive input signal is applied.
If the speaker unit emits no sound, reduce the volume level of the
amplifier immediately.
The sound will return automatically in several seconds.
• Do not swing the speaker by its strap.
• Do not place the speaker face down with the grille attached, as
deformation of the grille may result.
• When placing the speaker face down, always place it on a flat and
smooth surface.
• Do not touch the speaker driver unit.

INSTALLING THE SPEAKERS
Install the speakers onto the ceiling with the supplied hardware. Ensure that
the strength of the ceiling rail is sufficiently strong.
Pre-installation (Preparation of the Cable)
Use stranded wire for cables attached to the Euroblock connector. Strip
their insulation as shown in the figure and connect them.
NOTE
Do not plate stranded wires by solder. Doing so will cause the wire to break.
1
Put the supplied cutout template to the ceiling and draw a circle by
tracing it.
Make sure to use the cutout template so that hole is the correct
diameter.
NOTE
If you use a circular cutter, set the diameter with the cutout template.
2
Cut the hole by tracing the circle.
Be careful to prevent chips or powder entering your eyes while
cutting the hole.
1
Insert the two tile rails through the cut hole and place them on the
ceiling surface within your reach. Be sure that each tile rails are
oriented as shown below.
2
Insert the folded O-ring through the cut hole and open it in the ceiling.
3
Secure the O-ring and tile rails with supplied two screws through
either slot of both O-ring brackets.
1
Pull the wiring from the amplifier through the cut hole.
2
Loosen the screw at the right of the terminal cover to open the
terminal cover and remove the Euroblock connector.
3
After loosening the terminal screws of the Euroblock connector with a
flat-blade screwdriver, insert the cable into each terminal and tighten
the screws. Make sure that cables cannot be pulled out.
NOTE
Use a flat-blade screwdriver with a blade less than 3 mm (0.1 in.).

There are two acceptable wiring methods.
CAUTION
When connecting with low impedance, take note of the combined
resistance.
Using Loop-Through Terminals
For this method, cables are connected from terminals 1 and 4 to the
subsequent speaker. If the Euroblock connector is disconnected from
a speaker, all subsequent speakers will not work. This can be useful
to identify which speaker has a problem.
Paralleling Input Terminals
For this method, cables are connected to terminals 2 and 3 of each
speaker. Since the cables are connected via Euroblock connectors,
subsequent speakers can work even if a problem occurs with a
speaker.
4
Plug the connected Euroblock connector into the socket in the
speaker.
5
Loosen the screw A of the strain relief clamp.
6
Remove the screw B of the strain relief clamp.
If the cable is not to be held, remove the screw A and remove the
strain relief fitting, then proceed to step 8.

cabinet’s face.
3
Turn the screwdriver a half turn counterclockwise to loosen the
attachment screw. This makes the clamp easier to align in the
channel.
4
Turn the screwdriver clockwise to tighten the attachment screw.
The first turn of the attachment screw aligns the clamp with the
channel. Further turns move the clamp down the channel to pull the
speaker up into the ceiling.
CAUTION
• Do not over-tighten the attachment screw. Otherwise, the
attachment screw and clamp will break.
• Do not turn any screws that do not have a guide sleeve in the screw
hole. Otherwise, the speaker may fall or malfunction.
Select the line voltage/impedance (100V/70V/8Ω) and power tap for 100V/
70V line distributed system, by rotating the tap selector switch on the front
side of the speaker with a flat-blade screwdriver.
CAUTION
The “X” position should not be selected. The 8Ω position should be selected
for 8Ω audio systems only. If the setting is incorrect, it may cause
malfunction of the speaker and amplifier.
Fit the grille to the cabinet front and turn it clockwise.
CAUTION
The grille may fall down if it is attached inadequately. Attach it firmly.
