Thank you for purchasing Phase Technology CI custom
installation speakers. This eighth generation of high
performance in-wall models features the same superb
sonic performance as our acclaimed PC-Series cabinet
speakers in addition to great exibility and easy installa-
tion, thanks to Phase Tech's patented QuickMount™
tool-free clamping system. The most striking change to the
series VIII is a new look with the o -axis tweeter design.
This feature maximizes the speaker's clarity and imaging by
creating an asymmetrical loading or di raction pattern,
reducing the amount of di raction normally caused by a
ange-to-wall junction. The net result is the best sonic

realism you can buy in an in-wall. All CI-Series speakers include
self-resetting solid-state PTC protection circuits. This unique
system is able to detect when the speaker is being over-driven
and lowers the speaker volume until the problem is corrected.
The PTC device then resets itself for normal operation. Other
features include liquid-cooled tweeters for greater power
handling, moisture-resistant materials in all of the critical
speaker components, galvanized steel speaker grilles and
stainless steel hardware for improved corrosion resistance, IR
knockout mounts and tweeter level controls.

1. Choose the appropriate mounting
location for each speaker.
NOTE – When deciding upon a location
consider the following:
•
Be certain your speaker wires can be run to
or are accessible from these locations.
•
Make certain the wall or ceiling material is
sturdy enough to support the weight and
vibration of the speakers.
•
It is recommended that our pre-
construction rough in brackets (part number
RB-18) be used whenever possible in new
construction.
•
Be certain the area behind the speaker is
free of obstacles such as wall studs, electrical
wiring, pipes, etc.
•
Each speaker should be positioned
properly relative to the listening area for good
coverage.
•
Audio performance and room-to-room
isolation will be improved if there is some
berglass insulation placed loosely behind the
speaker.
4. Use the provided tool to fully open
the four Quick Mount™ (QM) clamps. If
the tool is not available a small screw
driver can be used.
