2. If you have not already done
so, run the speaker wires to the
source or local room volume
control. Note: The ceiling
may contain some form of
insulation. Fiberglass batting
should be left in place, as it is
sonically desirable and will hold
its shape. Remove blown-in
type insulation from the air
space behind the speaker.
Note: Wear gloves when
handling insulation.
Locate the speaker wires and
strip 3/8" of insulation from
the ends. The stripped ends
can be directly inserted into
the speaker wire connectors.
Note: Speaker cable has
various means of identifying the
two conductors, either by color,
a molded-in shape, or markings
on the jacket. Be consistent
with all the connections within
the system. On the Ambiance
loudspeaker, use the red
terminals for "+", and the
black terminals for "-".
3. A smooth, flat ceiling surface
will provide the best air seal
and most secure installation. If
you must install the speakers in
a rough, uneven surface, use
a strip of foam gasket tape or a
bead of caulk along the back of
the speaker's mounting flange.
This provides a good air seal.
Position the speaker in the
cutout. Using a #1 Phillips
screwdriver, tighten the four
Phillips screws along the edges
of the speaker. The swing
arms will extend to hold the
speaker firmly in position. Only
moderate force is necessary
to secure the Ambiance
loudspeaker to the mounting
surface. Be careful to not over-
tighten.
4. Install the speaker grille.
Note: If desired, you may
paint the grille and frame to
match the room decor before
installation. To paint the
speakers, do not install the
grille. Instead, place the paint
shield (the center punch-out
section of the template) in place
of the grille to protect the baffle
surface and drivers. Paint the grille
and frame separately, being careful
not to fill in the small holes in the
grille. A fan, or hair dryer on "cold"
setting, can be used to blow paint
out of the holes in the grille while
the paint is still wet. After the paint
is completely dry, remove the grille,
being careful not to scratch the
newly painted surfaces. Save the
paint shield for future repainting.
Suspended Ceilings
Note: Suspended ceilings provide
a less secure mounting surface
than solid ceilings. The Ambiance
speaker includes a safety-loop to
keep the speaker from falling if a tile
should fail or in the event of a fire.
Connect a steel cable or chain to
this loop. Connect the other end to
some available solid support above
the ceiling.
1. Select the tile you wish to
use to mount the speaker
and remove it from the grid.
Examine the space above the
tile to make sure there are no
obstructions.
2. Use the supplied template
to outline the area to be cut.
Make the cutout using your
preferred tool.
3. Install the speaker into
position. Using a #1 Phillips
screwdrivers, tighten all four
mounting screws. The swing
arms will extend to hold the
speaker firmly in position.
4. Install the speaker grille. Note:
If painting the speaker refer to
step 4, page 4 previous section.
5. If you have not already done
so, run the speaker wires to the
source or a local room volume
control.
6. Locate the speaker wires and
strip 3/8" of insulation from
the ends. The stripped ends
can be directly inserted into
the speaker wire connectors.
Note: Speaker cable has
various means of identifying the
two conductors, either by color,
a molded-in shape, or markings
on the jacket. Be consistent
with all the connections within
the system. On the Ambiance
loudspeaker, use the red
terminals for "+", and the black
terminals for "-".
7. Reinstall the ceiling tile into it's
supporting grid.
