Thank you for purchasing Phase Technology CI custom installation
speakers. This eighth generation of high performance ceiling
mounted speakers features the same superb sonic performance as
our acclaimed PC Series cabinet speakers in addition to great
flexibility and easy installation. The most striking change to the series
VIII QM is a new look with the off-axis tweeter design. This feature
maximizes the speaker's clarity and imaging by creating an
asymmetrical loading or diffraction patter, reducing the amount of
diffraction normally caused by a flange-to-ceiling junction.
The net result is the best sonic realism you can buy in an in-ceiling
speaker. 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. 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.
The CI VIII QM in-ceiling series incorporates a new patent-pending
CI-FGR QM Quick Mount mounting system. No longer will
you have to suffer through holding the speaker in place overhead
while tightening the screws. The breakthrough comes from a newly
developed system of clamps that engage to hold the speaker in the
flange while you safely tighten the clamps with a screwdriver. The
new Quick Mount system makes installation of the CI VIII QMs the
easiest you've ever done.

Choose the appropriate mounting location for each speaker.
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-17*) 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 fiberglass insulation placed loosely behing the speaker.
*The RB-17 rough-in bracket is available for installations in new construction.
