NOTE:
If using conduit, feed the speaker wire through the conduit before connecting to the screw terminal
connector. Clamp the conduit in the plate and tighten the screws to secure the plate in place.
SPEAKER INSTALLATION
General Guidelines
• Keep speakers about 2 feet away from corners and other surfaces that might interfere with or reflect sound,
such as tall furniture.
• For rooms less than 300 square feet, two speakers should suffice. The further apart they are, the better the
sound will be. However, keep the distance at a maximum of 8-10 feet to avoid a “hole” in the middle.
• For rooms larger than 300 square feet, use 3 or more speakers. Stagger them across the space for ideal sound
end of the installation.
1.
Assemble the bracket. Slide the wings onto the plate as shown in the illustration below and secure with the
bracket screws if necessary.
Note:
The bracket is designed such that it does not require the screws for normal use. The screws are intended
for use when the bracket’s rigidity is a concern or when the placement of the bracket causes the rigidity to
dispersion.
• The carry loop on the speaker is useful for carrying the speaker
between install locations or hanging the speaker on a ladder while
working overhead.
NOTE:
The carry loop should NOT be used to secure the speaker in the
ceiling. Use the bracket on the top of the speaker for this purpose.
Acoustic Ceilings
See “Wiring Connections” for instructions on wiring before installing the
speaker. The removable connector on the rear makes it easy to wire the
connections ahead of time and attach the wiring to the speaker at the
become a concern.
2.
Plan your speaker locations. Make sure there are no
obstacles in the ceiling space above the tiles where
you plan to install any speakers.
3.
Using the supplied centering and cut out templates
centered on the tile, mark the tile on the cosmetic side
where you plan to cut.
Tip:
Place the tile on top of a trash can or empty box to
help catch any debris from cutting in the hole.
4.
Using your sheet rock saw, carefully cut the opening.
Be sure to saw into the cosmetic side of the tile to
avoid chips of the tile from showing around the bezel
after the install. Test fit the speaker.
5.
Place the bracket tile over the installation stage, then
place the cut ceiling tile face-up on top of that.
6.
Insert the speaker into the opening. Tighten the four
dog screws using a #2 Phillips Screwdriver.
Note:
Make sure the tile bridge stays centered and that
