Professional Collection Manual 8. Speaker Placement Speaker placement is determined by several factors like desired SPL, coverage requirements, variance in SPL by location, etc. When the objective is to fill a large area with very little variance (+/- 2dB), then a larger number of speakers are required.
Professional Collection Manual 11. Installation 1. Cut a hole in the drywall using the supplied cutout template. [See Figure A] Figure A 2. Connect the wires from your amplifier to the male terminal connector at the rear of speaker. Strip approximately 3/ 1 6” (5mm) of the insulation off each wire.

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 12. 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.
Professional Collection Manual 13. 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 15. Troubleshooting If you have a problem, try isolating it first. For example, if you’re playing a DVD and there is no sound, try replacing the DVD with another audio source to see if you get sound. If it does work, then the problem is with the television, DVD player, or the cables connecting them.
