6. 70V/100V System 70/100-Volt systems are advantageous when the design calls for multiple speakers from the same amplifier and/or long-distance wire runs. These Professional Collection 70V/100V In Ceiling Speakers feature multiple taps off the transformer, adjusted by a rotary switch on the front face of the speaker.

Model Position 7.5W 3.8W PC50B 100V 7.5W PC50W 6ohm 6 Ω NOTE: The tap setting determines how much wattage each speaker will draw from the amplifier. When daisy-chaining multiple speakers: add the combined wattages of all tap settings, to determine the wattage draw on the amplifier. The combined total wattage should NEVER exceed the wattage rating of the amplifier.
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. Typically, once the number of speakers has been determined, placing them equidistant from the walls and from each other will deliver the best result.
3. When using multiple speakers you can connect the speakers either in parallel or in the loop through method as shown below. See Figure D & E Figure D Loop Through Connection Origin Acoustics PC60 terminal 6975 S Decatur Blvd Suite 140...

4. Next, 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.
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.
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.

Informational Note: This standard addresses safety of workers whose job responsibilities entail interaction with electrical equipment and systems with potential exposure to energized electrical equipment and circuit parts. Concepts in this standard are often adapted to other workers whose exposure to electrical hazards is unintentional or not recognized as part of their job responsibilities.
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.
