70/100-Volt systems are advantageous when the design calls for multiple speakers from the same amplifier and/or long-distance wire runs. The Origin Acoustics 70V/100V loudspeakers feature multiple taps off the transformer adjusted by a rotary switch at the front side of the speaker.. The higher the wattage selected the more output will be generated by the speaker.
Professional Collection Manual Wiring Diagram Speaker Placement Speaker placement is determined by several factors like desired SPL, coverage requirements, variance in SPL by location, etc. When the object is to fill a large area with very little variance (+/- 2dB), then a larger number of speakers is required. Typically, once the number of speakers has been determined, placing them equidistant from the walls and from each other will deliver the best result.
Professional Collection Manual Speaker Wire The gauge of wire used can have an impact on the performance of your speakers. Generally, speaker wire is determined by the length of the run and wattage utilized. The longer your run is, the smaller the wire gauge must be. On commercial 70 volt systems, 18 gauge, 2 conductor, stranded and jacketed without shield wire is commonly used.
Professional Collection Manual Painting the Grille In some situations the speakers may look better if the color matched the walls, ceiling, or trim in the room. This can be accomplished by painting the grille. The grille must be painted with spray paint, and most hardware stores will mix a can of paint to match whatever color you need.
Professional Collection Manual Installation 1. Cut a hole in the drywall using the supplied cutout template (See figure A) Figure A 2.

Professional Collection Manual 4. Make sure all the dog leg (L-shaped) clamps on the speaker are in the upright position and facing to the side, not outwards. Insert the speaker into the hole. Turn the four screws so that the dog legs face outwards and continue turning until they clamp down on the ceiling.
Professional Collection Manual Drop Ceiling Installation The Tile Bridge, consisting of C-bracket and rails, should be used in suspended ceiling installations involving acoustic ceiling tile 2’ x 2’ or 2’ x 4’ . The Tile Bridge can also be used in installations when the speakers are mounted into material that will not support their weight.
