Installing the Speaker
Before installing the speaker onto the ceiling, ensure that the strength of the
ceiling rail is sufficient.
NOTICE
When installing the speakers, turn off the power amplifier.
Pre-installation (Preparation of the Cable)
• For cables attached to the Euroblock plug, strip the insulation as shown
in the figure and connect them.
About 7 mm
Compatible cable:
Min. AWG24 (0.2 sq)
Max. AWG12 (3.5 sq)
NOTE
Do not plate core wires by soldering if the cable uses stranded wire.
Doing so will cause the wire to break.
Cut Out a Hole in the Ceiling
1
1.
Put the supplied cutout template to the ceiling and draw a circle by
tracing it.
Make sure to use the cutout template so that hole is the correct
diameter.
If you use a circular cutter, set the diameter using the cutout template.
2. Cut the hole by tracing the circle.
CAUTION
Wear goggles to prevent chips or powder entering your eyes
while cutting the hole.
When the AB-C2 Reinforcing Bracket Kit (sold separately)
is used
1.
Insert the two tile rails through the cut hole and place them on the
ceiling surface within your reach. Adjust their length and be sure that
each of the tile rails are oriented as shown below.
2.
Use the opening in the C-ring to slide one section of the C-Ring into
the cut hole, continuing to slide it around until the C-ring is
completely inside the ceiling.

3. Secure the C-ring and tile rails with the supplied two screws through
either slot of both C-ring brackets.

NOTICE
To avoid the possibility of malfunction/damage to
the product or other property, follow the notices
below.
 Handling and maintenance
• Do not expose the product to excessive dust or
vibration, or extreme cold or heat, in order to
prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration,
unstable operation, or damage to the internal
components.
• When using a high-impedance speaker
connection, make sure the audio signal is
passed through an 60 Hz or above high-pass
filter before being input to the speakers.
• Do not touch the speaker driver unit, since it
might cause malfunction.
• Be sure to observe the amplifier's rated load
impedance, particularly when connecting
speakers in parallel at low impedance.
Connecting an impedance load outside the
amplifier's rated range can damage the
amplifier.
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on
the product, since this might cause alteration
or discoloration of the panel.
• When cleaning the product, use a dry and soft
cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents,
cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated
wiping cloths, since this might cause alteration
or discoloration.
• Protection Circuit
This speaker system has an internal protection
circuit that shuts off the speaker unit when an
excessive input signal is applied. If the
speaker unit emits no sound, reduce the
volume level of the amplifier immediately. (The
sound will return automatically in several
seconds.)
• Do not place the speaker face down with the
grille attached, as deformation of the grille may
result.
• When placing the speaker face down, always
place it on a flat surface.
• Air blowing out of the bass reflex ports is
normal, and often occurs when the speaker is
handling program material with heavy bass
content.

2 Connect the Wiring to the Connector
1.
Pull the wiring from the power amplifier through the cut hole of the
ceiling.
2. Loosen the screws of one of the two terminal covers according to the
wiring direction and remove the terminal cover.
Pass the cable through the terminal cover.
In this manual, the illustrations show the top terminal cover removed.
Terminal cover

Speaker cable
The terminal covers do not have a hole
through which the speaker cable passes.
Open a hole in the terminal cover (as shown)
to use.
CAUTION
Use an appropriate tool for open-
ing the hole. Otherwise, injury
may result if you attempt to open
the hole with your bare hands.
3.
Remove the Euroblock plug from the speaker. After loosening the
terminal screws of the Euroblock plug with a flat-blade screwdriver,
insert the cable into each terminal and tighten the screws. For the
connection, refer to section "Connecting the Cable."
Make sure that cables cannot be pulled out.

Using Loop-Through Terminals
For this method, cables are connected from terminals 1 and 4 to the
subsequent speaker. Cables with a thickness of at least AWG24 (0.2 sq)
and up to AWG12 (3.5 sq) can be used. If the Euroblock plug is
disconnected from a speaker, all subsequent speakers will not work. This
can be useful to identify which speaker has a problem.

3 Fix the Speaker onto the Ceiling
1.
Attach the safety wire to the safety wire ring, and connect the wire to an
independent support point, such as a joist.

CAUTION
Always take measures to prevent the speaker from falling
down.
If the safety wire is too short, prepare another wire appropri-
ate for the speaker weight and installation conditions. If the
wire is too long, should the speaker fall, the wire may break
as a result of too much strain.
2.
Push the speaker slowly up into the ceiling, taking care not to trap the
speaker cable, carrying band or safety wire.

3.
While lifting up the speaker, turn the screwdriver clockwise to tighten the
attachment screw.
The first turn of the attachment screw opens the clamp. Further turns
move the clamp down the channel to pull the speaker up into the ceiling.
When the clamp is difficult to open, turning the screwdriver halfway
counterclockwise once will make it easier to open the clamp.

NOTICE
Do not over-tighten the attachment screws. Otherwise, the attachment
screws and clamps will break.
CAUTION
Do not turn any screws other than the attachment screws.
Otherwise, the speaker may fall or malfunction.

CAUTION
• When connecting with low impedance, take note of the total impedance.
• When connecting speakers with high impedance, be sure that the total rated input capac-
ity of the speakers does not exceed the output power of the amplifier.
NOTICE
When using a high-impedance speaker connection, make sure the audio signal is passed through an
60 Hz or above high-pass filter before being input to the speakers.
Paralleling Input Terminals
For this method, cables are connected to terminals 2 and 3 of each
speaker. Connect two cables to one terminal. Cables with a thickness up
to AWG17 can be used. Since the cables are connected via Euroblock
plugs, subsequent speakers can work properly.

Removing from the Ceiling
1.
Loosen the attachment screws by turning them counterclockwise.
Loosen the screw and the clamp goes up, and as it reaches the top,
the clamp closes as shown in figure below.

2.
Remove the safety wire from the speaker that is detached from the
ceiling.
Set the Line Voltage/Impedance and Power
4
Select the line voltage/impedance (100 V, 70 V, 8Ω) and power tap for a
100 V, 70 V line distributed system, by rotating the tap selector switch on
the front side of the speaker with a flat-blade screwdriver.
When using the speaker with high-impedance connection, select the
position where wattage is indicated by the line (100 V, 70 V). Do not select
the " × " setting when connecting to a 100V line.
When using it with low impedance connection, select the 8Ω position.
The illustration indicates the setting at 7.5 W for
a 100 V line and 3.8 W for a 70 V line.
NOTICE
• Make sure the amplifier is switched off before operating the tap selector
switch.
• If the setting is incorrect, it may cause malfunction of the speaker and
amplifier.
