Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Celestial™ 8 In-Ceiling Speaker. Origin Acoustics and Bang & Olufsen take pride in providing you with high quality products. All of our speakers are designed to have excellent sound quality, longevity, and a simple installation process.
Dual Tweeters The Dual Tweeter models can be used for either one channel (surround) or two channels (stereo). A switch is located on the back of the speaker to select which mode to use. One of the inputs is labeled for surround. This is the input that should be used if you’re only using one channel.

Auxiliary Room (2 Speaker Placement) Ideally, the two speakers should be placed an equal distance from the lis- tener. If the room has a lower ceiling, the speakers can be closer together. Also, if the speaker placement is in- tended for standing (as opposed to sitting) listeners, the speakers can be closer together.
About Speaker Wire Use a two conductor wire that allows you to identify one conductor from the oth- er. This designation may be obvious or as subtle as a ridge on one conductor. It’s crucial that you keep track of which wire you use for positive (+) and negative (-).
Wire Routing Plan how you’ll route the wire to the desired speaker location. There are several methods for routing the wire, and you may need to combine several of them. Behind the Baseboard Through Walls The wire can be routed behind the When running wires through a wall, be baseboard by cutting a groove out of sure to avoid all obstacles such as AC...
2. Cutting the Hole When you’ve decided on the locations for all of the speakers, use the template to trace a circle lightly in pencil where the hole should be.

STEP 2: The bayonet ring also features a metal lock to ensure the correct installation of the loudspeaker. Out of the box, the lock will be in its closed position. Open the lock tab to its unlocked position to remove the speaker from the ring. Once the speaker is installed, close the lock tab by pushing it back into place, flush with the perime- ter of the bayonet ring.
6. Testing & Adjustments The midrange (BOC86 only) and tweeter can be pivoted to direct the sound to- wards the listening area. Or for a more diffused surround sound experience, the rear speakers can be aimed towards the wall. To aim the tweeter, gently apply pressure to the rim with your thumbs to pivot the tweeter.
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 an MP3 player to see if you get sound. If it does work, then the problem is with the television, DVD player, or the cables connecting them.
