Wiring and Setting Up

Terminal Connections

1. WARNING: To avoid potential damage to your loudspeaker, ensure that the amplifier is switched OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting any cables.
2. Before switching the amplifier ON, double check that all connections are secure and that the polarity is correct.
3. Note: For each speaker in this series, the correct square or circular baffle has to be fitted before connecting the speaker wiring. (The baffles are fitted from behind, and
so the speaker wires cannot be connected while the baffles are being installed.)
4. The two screw terminals on the rear of each speaker are labled positive (+) and negative (-). These connect respectively to the positive (+) and negative (-) output
terminals of your audio power amplifier.
5. Strip off approximately 8 mm (1/4") of the outer protective layer of one conductor and twist its inner cores together to prevent shorting from stray wires. Insert the core
into the screw terminal while ensuring that correct polarity is maintained. Repeat this for both speaker wires. Tighten the two screws to make a secure connection.
6. The screw terminals for the QCI 6DC are located on the rear of the speaker. The screw terminals for the PCI 6DC and PCI 6DC LP are located on the speaker frame.
The PCI 6DC and PCI 6DC LP frame can be preinstalled and wired up, and the speaker assembly added at a later stage.

Installation

QCI 6DC
1. WARNING: To avoid potential damage to your loudspeaker, ensure that the amplifier is switched OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting any cables.
2. The procedure below describes the installation of the speaker into a typical stud ceiling or wall with drywall/plasterboard.
3. Locate a suitable mounting position for the speaker, using a stud-finder.
WARNING: Make sure that there are no power lines, other cables, or plumbing such as water, sewer, gas lines in the chosen cutout location. Also make sure that the
location is far enough from the closest wall stud so that the clamping mechanism can operate without interference.
4. Use the supplied cutout template as a guide, and cut out a circular hole in the drywall/plasterboard. Remove any debris from the hole. Use a suitable adhesive in
the local area inside the hole to seal the drywall to the studs and joists, to prevent ceiling buzzing.

5. Run the speaker wire from your amplifier to this location, leaving enough slack to allow for the connection.
6. To use the square speaker grille, first move the mounting clamps out of the way by undoing the four screws accessible from the front of the speaker. Remove the
backing from the strips of double-sided tape, and push the speaker into the supplied square baffle.

7. If you want to use the circular speaker grille, install the supplied circular baffle instead.

8. Follow the information on the previous pages to connect the speaker wires from your power amplifier to the speaker terminals. Make sure to check that the polarity is
correct and that the positive and negative wires are securely and correctly connected.
9. Make sure that the clamps are all in their rest position, then press the speaker/baffle assembly into the cutout hole in the wall, making sure that the speaker wires are
not trapped.
