  • Page 4: Introduction

    1. Introduction Thank you for purchasing an Origin PRO Professional PPC-T Series Speaker. All of Origin PRO’s speakers are designed to have excellent sound quality, longevity, a simple installation process, and built specifically for commercial applications. This instruction booklet covers the necessary information for a smooth installation, including: the tools you will need, step-by-step instructions for installation, troubleshooting tips for any errors that may occur, and all warranty information.
  • Page 5: Product Description

    Each model is a 2-way loudspeaker with Silk tweeter, and front Mounted 8 ohm, 70 Tap Switch. The PPC-T Series are built with a standard dog-leg installation, yet reuse the same install brackets and cut-out templates as our Origin PRO PC In-Ceiling speakers, leaving the door open for simple future upgrades.

There are several methods for routing the wire, and you may need to combine several of them.

  • Page 9: Speaker Placement

    6b. System Set-Up (2 Speaker Placement) Position the two speakers in the middle of the room, no less than 6’ (2m) apart. Ideally, the two speakers would be placed an equal distance from the listener. If the room has a lower ceiling, the speakers can be closer together. Also, if the E60 INSTALLATION MANUAL speaker placement is intended for standing (as opposed to sitting) listeners, the Auxiliary Room (2 Speaker Placement)
  • Page 10 7a. Speaker Wire Polarity: Notes & Guidance You will need a wire that has at least two conductors; one that can be identified as the positive and the other as the negative. All two conductor wires have some means of identifying which conductor is which, but at times this identification may be subtle.
  • Page 11: Speaker Wire Polarity: Notes & Guidance

    7b. Speaker Wire Gauge: Notes & Guidance The gauge of wire used can have an impact on the performance of your speakers. Generally, speaker wire is determined by the length of the run and wattage utilized. The longer your run is, the smaller the wire gauge must be. On commercial 70 Volt systems, 18 gauge, 2 conductor, stranded and jacketed without shield wire is commonly used.
  • Page 12 7c. Wire Gauge – 8 Ohm System Notes If using the PPC-T Speaker in a 8 Ohm system, the total wire resistance must be less than 10% of the speaker impedance. For example, since the speakers are nominally 8 ohms impedance, the total calculated wire resistance should be no more than 0.8 ohms.
  • Page 13 First, for safety purposes, it is recommended to make the calculations based on 80% of the amplifiers rated power. • For example, 80% of an amplifiers rated power will mean that a 500W amplifier would safely deliver 400W of usable power (500W x 0.8 = 400W). Now, it is simply a matter of dividing 400 by the number of speakers and the tap setting being used in the system.

(If you don’t have a out Speaker Wire template, check the Specifications section for cutout sizes.) If you’re unsure on whether there may be obstacles (such as pipes or wires) where you plan on will need a wire that has at least two conductors;...

Push down on each connector, and insert each wire into the opening with the correct polarity. Make sure that the POSITIVE WIRE is attached to the RED CONNECTION and the NEGATIVE WIRe is being attached to the BLACK CONNECTION.

    10. Tap Settings: Notes & Guidance This Professional PPC-T Speakers feature 3 different tap settings off the transformer, adjusted by a rotary switch on the side face of the speaker. The higher the wattage selected, the more output will be generated by the speaker.
  • Page 20: Troubleshooting

    11. 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.
