MOUNTING (Continued)

MOUNTING A LOUDSPEAKER ON A CEILING

Installation should only be done by qualified individuals who are
experienced in affixing and installing and ceiling-mounted elec-
trical equipment, and who understand and observe all relevant
safety precautions. REVEL disclaims any liability whatsoever for
injury or damage to persons or property arising from installation
of its products or use of hardware it provides.

1. Determine ceiling locations for each pair of left and right loud-

speakers (see Placement starting on page 7).

2. At each proposed site, use a stud finder to locate the nearest

rafters, which should be on 16-inch centers.

3. Use tape to attach the enclosed mounting templates to the

ceiling between the rafters, leaving a minimum clearance of

⁄

" (19 mm) from the cabinet top to the wall. Verify that the

template is parallel to the wall. Be sure to account for any
mouldings when determining a minimum clearance distance.

NOTE: For best performance, mount the loudspeakers at least
18" (46 cm) away from the from the wall at an optimum angle
of 15° off-axis from the prime listening position (see “Placement”
on page 7).

4. At each site, drill three (3)

⁄

" (8 mm) holes at the designated

locations on the mounting template. Also create a cutout for
speaker wire within the noted boundary.

NOTE: The cutout should be wide enough to provide adequate
clearance to connect large spade lugs on terminal sides.

5. At each site, insert three (3) plastic toggles into the drilled holes

and install three (3) shoulder screws, as shown in Figure 11 (on
the next page).

6. At each site, route the speaker wire through the cutout and,

using correct polarity, attach the ends to the terminals on the
rear of the loudspeaker. Also refer to Connections starting on
page 16.

7. Align the brackets on each cabinet with the shoulder screws on

the ceiling, as shown in Figure 12 (on the next page). Slide each
cabinet securely across the shoulder screws away from the side
wall. After mounting, remove the tape and template.
