Preparing the Installation
Using a Safety Cable
Some regional construction codes require the use
of a secondary method of securing loudspeakers to
support structures to provide additional safety. Choose
a mounting position, method, and hardware consistent
with local building codes and regulations.
Bose recommends using (1) a safety wire or (2) a safety
cable as a secondary securing mechanism. See the
diagrams below for safety attachment points.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for any secondary
securing mechanism implemented.

Assembling the Tile Bridge
Note:
If you are installing in a hard ceiling, assemble the tile
bridge after inserting the rails and ring through the hole
cutout (see page 6).
1. Align the rails and insert the tabs into the slots.
2. Pull the rails outward to secure them together.
3. Align the rails parallel to each other and press the tile
bridge ring down to secure the ring to the rails.

Cutting the Ceiling Tile
1. Remove the tile and use the template to trace
a loudspeaker hole onto the tile. To center the
template on the tile, draw an X by connecting
the corners diagonally and center the template
using the crossing point.
2. Cut a hole into the tile.

Preparing Acoustic Ceiling Tile
Installing the Tile Bridge
1. Place the assembled tile bridge across the
ceiling grid. If necessary, adjust the tile bridge
so the rails rest on the ceiling grid.
2. Replace the tile in the ceiling.

Note:
Installation in close proximity to cooking surfaces
where the loudspeaker may be directly exposed to
cooking oils, such as in commercial cooking environments,
may decrease the performance or functionality of the
loudspeaker.
