Introduction

These instructions apply to the following products:

• 

P200Z Round Ceiling Loudspeaker System

• 

P200ZQ Square Ceiling Loudspeaker System

 Unpacking and Inspection

Carefully unpack your loudspeaker. Each carton contains the following:

• 

1 × Baffle and speaker assembly

• 

1 × Metal grille

• 

1 × Paint Shield (to protect the speaker during painting)

• 

1 × Cardboard mounting template

We suggest you retain the packing for future use. The speaker is supplied 
with the grille removed and stored separately. We suggest that you keep 
the grille in its plastic bag (and preferably in the carton), away from the 
work area until you are ready to fit it.

Before You Start

If you have any doubts about your ability to install this loudspeaker 
correctly, you should consider the services of a custom installer before 
you start cutting into walls or ceilings.

In addition to ceilings, this speaker can be mounted into standard 4 inch 
deep stud walls and is designed to occupy this depth.

Determine the final locations for all speakers before cutting the first 
hole, since the position of each speaker may affect the others, either 
aesthetically or acoustically. Check for pipes, house wiring, or other items 
inside walls that might be damaged when you cut holes.

Pre-wiring

Please note the following points when wiring the speakers:

• 

Speaker wire should be rated to comply with applicable local safety 
codes such as UL or CL-2.

• 

Use only stranded wire no thinner than AWG 16. For runs longer than 
100 feet, we recommend using at least AWG 14.

• 

When pulling wire, take care not to pull the wire too fast to prevent 
stretching the wire or scorching the insulation as a result of friction.

• 

Leave 2 to 3 feet of excess loudspeaker wire at both ends; it is easier 
to trim off excess wire than to splice additional wire.

• 

When securing the wire inside the walls, be careful not to pierce its 
insulation with nails or staples.

For best performance and easier troubleshooting, always ‘home run’ 
wiring when installing multiple speakers rather than connecting from one 
speaker to the next. Make certain that each power amplifier channel can 
drive the combined load impedance if it is connected to more than one 
speaker. 

Installation

1.  Reconfirm that there is clearance between each edge of the planned 

cutout and wall studs or floor joists.

2.  Fasten the supplied cardboard template to the wall or ceiling with 

tape or thumbtacks/drawing pins.

3.  Use either the inner or outer section of the template, whichever is 

easier for you.

4.  Trace the cutout guide with a pencil.

5.  Before making the final cutout, make a smaller ‘test cutout’ in the 

center of the penciled outline. Reach inside the test hole to verify that 
there are no obstructions.

6.  Score the drywall/plasterboard with a razor knife and use a keyhole 

saw to complete the cut. Remove debris from the exposed edge of 
the wall or ceiling.

7.  Having run the speaker wire, secure it to a location adjacent to the 

cutout to prevent its weight from pulling it loose from the speaker 
terminals. 

8.  We recommend that you install flame-retardant sound-absorbing 

material such as ceiling insulation behind the woofer to reduce sound 
transmission into the room above/adjacent. 

9.  Insert the speaker wires into the connectors, making sure ‘+’ and ‘–’ 

polarity are correct.

10.  Insert the speaker frame into the cutout; it should go into the cutout 

easily, without forcing. You may need to swing some or all of the 
small mounting clamps back in their retracted positions first 

(see 

diagram)

.

11.  Tighten the four mounting screws on the bezel. When you first turn 

these screws, the mounting clamps will automatically swing out from 
their retracted positions. As you continue turning the screws, these 
will then clamp against the rear surface of the wall or ceiling. Avoid 
using excessive force to prevent deforming or cracking the speaker’s 
mounting frame.

Pivoting Tweeter

You may pivot the tweeter of the ceiling speaker up to 15 degrees off-axis 
to direct treble towards the intended listening area. Sometimes the ceiling 
speaker is mounted close to side walls; the sound can be improved by 
aiming the tweeter into the room to reduce reflections from the nearby 
wall.
