Home Theater (when using as surround speakers)

Use these speakers for left and right surround channels.
Surround speakers should ideally be placed behind the
listening area, at least as far apart as the front speakers
and up to 60 additional centimeters (2 additional feet)
apart per side.

The following is the recommended procedure for installing the speakers in a ceiling. Please read it carefully before
installation.
• Before you begin installation, read this owner's manual completely and consult your local building codes. If you

have any doubt, contact your dealer or a qualified audio/video installer.

• Before installing the speakers, run the speaker cables to the installation location.

Ceiling board thickness and clearance space above ceiling

• Check to ensure that the area you are installing the speaker is free of any ceiling joints or studs by tapping the

ceiling or using a stud finder.

• Make sure that there is sufficient space on the ceiling for installation and that there are no obstructions such as

ducts, pipes, etc. See the following chart for external product dimensions and ceiling installation measurements.

• The thickness required for the ceiling boards is 5 – 30 mm (1/4” – 1-1/8”).

* The size differs depending on the model. Refer to the

above chart.

• When installing your NS-IC600/NS-IC800 in-ceiling speakers, be aware of the product weight (See specification

page) and the sturdiness of the material into which you are installing the speaker.

• Be aware of any concealed studs, electrical wiring or plumbing in the ceiling into which you are installing the

speakers. If you are not sure of a safe way to install these speakers, consult a professional installer or a building
contractor.

CAUTION

• When installing the speaker, do not touch the woofer or tweeter units with your hands or expose them to excessive physical

shock. If they are dented or bent, the sound will be distorted.

NOTE

• If you wish to paint the speaker grille, refer to page 6 “PAINTING THE SPEAKER GRILLE” before proceeding.
