compartment should not interfere with the operation of the speaker.
PAINTING SPEAKERS
It is highly recommended that the speakers be painted prior to installation. If it is necessary to paint them while
installed, the provided paint mask should be used in place of the grille to protect the speaker. The grille may
be painted as well with great care taken not to clog the fine holes with paint. Only paint grilles when they have
been removed from the speakers.

Page 2: Speaker Wiring
ECS-650-IC Owner’s Manual SPEAKER WIRING Overview In a 70V or 100V system, a speaker wire is run from the amplifier location to the first speaker location. A “loop out” is run from the first speaker to the second speaker, the second speaker to the third speaker, etc. If installing with a standard receiver/amplifier (not 70V or 100V system), a separate speaker wire must be run from the amplifier to each speaker location. Best Practices • In most cases, it is easiest to install a speaker system by prewiring and then installing the speakers. • Plan the locations of the speaker holes, volume control boxes, and the amplifier and be sure wiring can be routed everywhere necessary before cutting any holes. • Install spare wires for redundancy when you must run wire through a location that will not be accessible later. -

5. Flip the ceiling tile and place the tile bridge over the cutout, centering it around the opening. 6. While holding the tile bridge in place, flip the tile, leaving the cosmetic side facing up. 7. Insert the loudspeaker into the opening. Tighten the four dog screws using a #2 Phillips Screwdriver. Make sure the tile bridge stays centered and that the mounting dogs clamp onto the ring. Be careful, over- tightening the screw can damage the ceiling tile and/or the speaker. pg. 3 © 2013 Episode ®... - Page 4 ECS-650-IC Owner’s Manual 8. Set the loudspeaker tap to the appropriate setting using the rotary switch on the front of the loudspeaker. 9. Insert the loudspeaker grille into the baffle, pressing gently on each side until it is fully seated. Tip: If you aren’t sure of the tap settings needed for the loudspeaker, leave the grille off so that settings can easily be adjusted using the rotary knob.

Warning! Do not set the speaker for 8 ohm operation if using 70V or 100V amplifier. This could cause permanent damage to the speaker or amplifier. 70V Setting 100V Setting SPEAKER GRILLE 1. Insert the speaker grille by pressing gently around the edges. The grille is designed for a tight fit but will still install easily. Do not force or bend the grille as this could affect the final fit and appearance. 2. To remove the grille, use the supplied screen removal tool and carefully pull the grille down. Pull the grille near the edges to avoid bending it with the removal tool. pg. 5 © 2013 Episode ®... -
