Installation Note: Tile Rails and C-Ring
The tile rail accessory is designed to fit either standard 24-inch-wide or
600-mm-wide tiles. It is important to note that the tile rail pieces do not
actually attach to the T-grid struts.The ends of the rails sit OVER the
T-grid strut. Normally, the tile supports the rails. The tile rails are pre-
punched at regular intervals with holes along their length.This allows the C-ring to be
positioned at any point along the rail. If the tile comes out or falls apart, the ends of
the support rails fall onto the T-grid, which prevents the speaker assembly from falling.
Always use all included support hardware when installing into suspended ceiling tiles
to make sure the installation is secure. For sheetrock ceiling installations, the tile rail
is not needed, but the C-ring should be used to reinforce the ceiling material and to
spread out the pressure from the speaker hold-down tabs. Guide the C-ring through
the cut hole in the ceiling, and place it on the back side of the hole before inserting the
speaker.

Installation Note: Ceiling Tile Caution
When mounting the C12.2 into 2’x2’ or 2’x4’ suspended ceiling tiles or
sheetrock ceilings, DO NOT install the C12.2 without using either the 3/8”
threaded rod rigging point or the pendant mounts. Ceiling tiles are not
designed to support any substantial weight and will cause the tile to sag
and distort, even with the tile bridge installed. If the cables are used, they
MUST be strung taut. The threaded rod or cables MUST support most of the weight of
the speaker to ensure that the C12.2 does not deform the ceiling.
