Take the bare ends of the speaker lead from the passive speaker and connect to the
terminals on the active speaker marked “PASSIVE SPEAKER”, ensuring the polarity (
+ and -)
matches the previously made connections to the passive speaker.
If a wired audio input is to be fed to the speakers, connect using a stereo RCA lead and
feed this through the ceiling or wall hole for the active speaker.
Likewise, if this audio signal or the Bluetooth input is to be fed to further active speakers,
feed another stereo RCA lead through the ceiling or wall hole for the active speaker to the
area where it will be needed.
Connect the supplied 12Vdc power adaptor to the mains supply in the ceiling or wall using
the included fig.8 mains lead. Alternatively, if connecting directly into the ring main, be sure
to isolate the mains supply (this method should only be executed by a qualified electrical
installer). Feed the DC lead from the power supply through the ceiling or wall hole for the
active speaker.
Before installing the active speaker, decide if it will be acting as a Bluetooth receiver.
It is possible to switch the Bluetooth
function off using an on/off switch
inside the housing of the active
speaker.
This may be useful if installing
multiple sets of ceiling speakers to be
operated by a single Bluetooth audio
source and to avoid confusion about
which speaker to pair with.
The Bluetooth switch is accessed via
a small hole on the rear panel of the
speaker as shown opposite. Operate
the switch by pushing a paperclip or
fine pin through the hole.
Finally, connect the DC power from
the supplied power adaptor to the
12Vdc + and - terminals (a short DC
jack lead is provided for
convenience).
When all input and output connections are complete, install the active speaker into the wall
or ceiling using the same method as for the passive speaker.
