Installing the Ceiling Loudspeaker

For ceiling tile installations, use the tile bridge accessory to support the weight of the loudspeaker. You can install the loud­
speaker in other types of ceilings if the material safely supports the weight of the loudspeaker.
To install, you will need:
• Utility knife or other tool to cut hole in ceiling
• Shielded Cat5e (or better) Ethernet cable
• Screwdriver or drill
• Braided metal cable or other high-strength wire for secondary attachment point (not included)
• Tile bridge for ceiling tile installations (not included)
• Pre-construction bracket for other types of ceilings (not included)
Tile Ceilings
1. Use the loudspeaker packaging or the tile bridge to mark a cutout in the tile.
2. Cut a 10.5 in. (266 mm) hole in the tile with the cutting tool.
3. Reinstall the ceiling tile with the tile bridge on top of the tile.
4. Follow the steps to connect the loudspeaker.
All Other Ceilings
1. In an unfinished ceiling, nail or screw the pre-construction bracket to the ceiling joists. Install the Cat5e cable above the
ceiling joists. Complete any finish work required on the ceiling.
The pre-construction bracket helps distribute the weight of the loudspeaker in the ceiling.
