STEP-BY-STEP
INSTALLATION AND WIRING
The installation system has been designed so that the entire installation can be
accomplished from beneath the ceiling, for instances when access above the tile is not
possible or practical. However, in some cases it may be easier with removable ceiling
tiles to access from both the top and bottom of the ceiling tile during various phases of
the installation.
Step 1 – Cut the Hole. Cutout the hole size either by tracing the cardboard cutout
template or with a circular cutter set to the cutout sizes listed above. Pull the wiring
through the cutout hole.
Step 2 – Insert Backing Hardware Through the Hole. Packaged with the speakers
are two types of backing hardware – a C-shaped backing-plate bracket and two tile
rails.
Suspended Ceilings – Insert the C-plate through the hole cut in the ceiling tile.
Place the C-plate around the hole with the tabs located as shown on Figure 4.
Insert the tile rails through the cut hole in the ceiling tile. Snap the two rails into the
two tabs in the C-plate and align the rails so that the ends extend OVER the T-
channel grid on the side of the tile. Secure the rails onto the C-bracket tabs by
inserting a screw though each tab into the rail. This can all be accomplished from
below the ceiling tile, if necessary.
