CONGRATULATIONS
Thank you for selecting this Acoustech Ceiling Speaker. Like all
Acoustech speakers, the AuraPro series combines advanced acoustic
technology with durability and will provide years of musical enjoyment.
This manual is designed to make your ceiling speaker as easy to install
as it is to listen to. If you've had any home "do-it-yourself" experience,
you should find installation of your new speaker a simple job.
However, we suggest you read through this manual before starting out.
If you then decide that installing your Acoustech Ceiling Speaker is
beyond your skills, we recommend the use of a professional installer.
