Installation and Wiring Step 2: Install C-Ring and/or Tile Rails The Electro-Voice speakers come packaged with hardware: a C-ring and two tile rails. For suspended ceiling installations, insert the C-ring through the hole cut in the ceiling tile. Place the C-ring around the hole with the tabs located as shown in Figure 5.
Installation and Wiring Step 3: Attach Wiring to the Ceramic Connector Insert the bare end of wire into the appropriate connector terminals as described below and screw down the hold-down screw until tight, using a small screwdriver, as shown in Figure 6. Step 4: Connect an Auxiliary Support Line note the support ring on the back of the speaker.
Installation and Wiring Step 5: Mount the Speaker Into the Ceiling Push the speaker into the ceiling hole until the front baffle rim is flush with the ceiling, as shown in Figure 8. Tighten the mounting tabs by turning the screw clockwise until the speaker is secure. Please note that the first clockwise quarter-turn rotates the attachment tabs outward.
Installation and Wiring Step 7: Attach the Grille First, install the grille’s safety tether by pushing the grille fastener into the hole in the front of the baffle, as shown in Figure 11. Second, press the grille into place until the front of the grille is flush with the rim of the baffle. Make sure the grille is securely seated to prevent it from vibrating loose.
Painting the Speaker Painting the Speaker If the speaker is installed in an area where the interior design requires a color match, these speakers are simple to paint. The speakers can accom- modate almost any type of latex or oil-based paint. The bezel/rim can be painted before installation or after mounting into the ceiling.
