Installation
1. Remove the grille from the speaker, if applicable. Use the clamp (dog-ear)
to push the grille out from the back side.
2. Connect the speaker wire to the speaker terminals:
• Leave about 2' (60 cm) of wire extending through the ceiling cutout.
• Pull the conductors apart so the last two inches are separated and
remove 1/2" (13 mm) of insulation from the end of each conductor.
• Twist the strands in each conductor into tight spirals.
• Attach the speaker wires to the red and black speaker terminals. Connect
the Positive (+) conductor to the Red terminal and the Negative (-)
conductor to the Black terminal. Make sure that no stray strands of wire
are touching the other conductor or terminal.
• Single point speakers have four terminals; Right(+), (-) and Left(+), (-). Run
an extra pair of conductors and observe proper polarity when making
connections.

4. The baffle is marked with a 0° for uniform dispersion and a 15° for focused
dispersion. If the baffle is already installed in the frame for the appropriate
dispersion skip to step 7. If the speaker needs to be tilted for a focused
dispersion, carefully twist and remove the baffle. Align the 15° with the
arrow on the frame. Grasp the speaker baffle at the tweeter bridge, being
careful not to come in contact with the tweeter itself.
5. Line up the tabs by sighting through the molded cutouts in the baffle.
Insert the tabs into the tab openings and firmly push the baffle up into the
frame slots.
6. Twist the baffle clockwise until it locks into the slots.
