CHAPTER 3: INSTALLING ASHBY LOUDSPEAKERS

This chapter provides procedures to install Ashby loud-
speakers into ceilings, pendants, and suspended ceilings.

MEYER SOUND ACCESSORIES

Meyer Sound provides several accessories to install Ashby
loudspeakers.
Tile C-Ring and Bridge Kit
The Tile C-Ring distributes the clamping force of the loud-
speaker mounting clamps and is highly recommended on
brittle ceiling surfaces. It can be used with or without the
bridges (see below).
You can order the Tile C-Ring using the part numbers below:
Ashby-8C Tile C-Ring: PN 40.260.130.01
Ashby-5C Tile C-Ring: PN 40.261.130.01
Figure 7: Using a C-ring to reinforce a brittle ceiling
The Tile C-Ring with Bridge Kit is used for suspended ceil-
ings. The C-ring distributes the clamping force of the loud-
speaker's four mounting clamps and the bridges support and
distribute the weight of the loudspeaker.

plate for ceiling cutout, ensuring a neat installation. The
bracket fastens to the ceiling using #10 screws.

lowing part numbers:

Meyer Sound Pendant
The Meyer Sound pendant allows Ashby loudspeakers to
hang from ceilings where a flush-mount is not practical.
These elegant pendant enclosures utilize a minimalistic
design typically used in pendant lighting to blend discreetly
into the environment.
The pendant holds an Ashby loudspeaker inside without
requiring extra hardware using the same grille as a ceiling
mounted Ashby to maintain a consistent appearance.
