ENCLOSURES AND BAFFLES
The CD408-series ceiling speakers will fit on standard

Please note that larger volume enclosures will result in altered low
frequency performance.
SAFETY CONSIDERATION
1. Appropriate connectors with suitable ratings must be used to
make all installation connections.
2. All unused taps must be insulated with suitable insulation.
