About Your Ci Speaker; Getting Started And Precautionary Notes; Caring For Your Speakers; Maintenance And Service - Phase Technology CI1.5 Owner Manual And Install Manual

[ABOUT YOUR CI1.5 SPEAKER]
Thank you for purchasing Phase Technology CI custom installation speakers. This eighth generation of high performance ceiling mounted
speakers features the same superb sonic performance as our acclaimed Premier Collection Series cabinet speakers in addition to great
exibility and easy installation. The most striking change to the series VIII is a new look with the o-axis tweeter design. This feature maximizes
the speaker's clarity and imaging by creating an asymmetrical loading or diraction pattern, reducing the amount of diraction normally caused
by a ange-to-ceiling junction.
The net result is the best sonic realism you can buy in an in-ceiling speaker. All CI speakers include self-resetting solid-state PTC protection
circuits. This unique system is able to detect when the speaker is being over-driven and lowers the speaker volume until the problem is
corrected. The PTC device then resets itself for normal operation. Other features include liquid-cooled tweeters for greater power handling,
moisture-resistant materials in all of the critical speaker components, galvanized steel speaker grilles and stainless steel hardware for
improved corrosion resistance.

[GETTING STARTED AND PRECAUTIONARY NOTES]

For proper connection and therefore full enjoyment of your new Phase Technology speakers, we encourage you to read this owners' manual
thoroughly, even if you are very familiar with installing speakers.
Speaker placement is very subjective. Placement follows the guidelines for the developers of in-ceiling speakers, yet is also guided by personal
preferences. The proper spacing, location and adjustment of in-ceiling speakers are critical for complete enjoyment of your new speakers.
This manual covers these topics thoroughly.
When deciding upon a location, consider the following:
Make certain your speaker wires can be run to or are accessible from these locations. Make certain the wall or ceiling material is sturdy
enough to support the weight and vibration of the speakers. It is recommended that our pre-construction rough-in bracket assemblies be
used whenever possible in new construction (not included; AC-CI1.5-PCB). Make certain the area behind the speaker is free of obstacles such
as wallstuds, electrical wiring, pipes, etc. Each speaker should be positioned properly, relative to the listening areafor good coverage. Audio
performance and room-to-room isolation will be improved if there is some fiberglass insulation placed loosely behind the speaker.
[CARING FOR YOUR PHASE TECHNOLOGY SPEAKER]
All Phase Technology speakers are finished with a high degree of craftsmanship in either hand polished paint or vinyl laminates. We recommend
using a lint-free rag with a small amount of glass cleaner to maintain the long-lasting beauty of the finish. Avoid products containing silicones,
oils, oil derivatives, or solvents. Enclosures finished in vinyl laminates may be cleaned with a damp cloth as necessary.

[MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE]

Because of Phase Technology's uncompromising quality control programs, it's unlikely that your speakers will ever need service if connected
and used as outlined in this Owners' Manual. In the unlikely event that a problem does occur, please contact your Phase Technology dealer.
Your dealer has the necessary factory-authorized parts and trained technicians to quickly restore your speaker to its original performance
specifications.
