may be above the ceiling. This facing is a moisture barrier. Use duct tape or wide vinyl tape to seal  
any cuts.  
Keep debris and loose material away from the installation location. Do not allow debris to get in  
the openings of the woofer basket. Debris and loose material can cause buzzing or rattling, and can  
damage the woofer cone. Install plastic or fiberglass screening above the speaker to keep debris  
away. Handle the speaker carefully.  
Do not let anything touch the speaker cone or dome. Do not clean the speaker with paint thinner  
or any solvents.  
Consider the services of a professional custom installer. If you have any doubts about your own  
abilities, it is better not to risk damaging your walls or ceilings, electrical wiring, ventilation ducts  
or plumbing.  
Work with good quality, correct tools. This will save you time and assure superior results.  
Allow sufficient clearance.  
When using speakers outdoors, locations should be sheltered from direct sunlight, rain or snow.  
Direct exposure will shorten product life.  
Combined impedance for speakers connected to each channel must be at least 4 ohm. This is the  
minimum impedance tolerated by most amplifiers. Check with your dealer before wiring multiple  
speaker pairs.  
general mounting suggestions  
Avoid placing the speaker within two feet (0.6 meters) of a corner. The acoustic reflections from surfaces  
near the speakers can detract from the sound quality. Do not place the speaker behind heavy fabrics; if  
you cannot see through a fabric, you cannot hear through it.  
The ceiling speakers are designed for "infinite baffle" operation. The area behind the speaker installation  
should be at least one-half cubic foot in volume to ensure proper performance. If the area is too small it  
will limit bass response and cause a peak in the mid-bass range.  
The panel on which the speaker is mounted must be rigid. There must not be any air leaks between the  
area behind the speaker and the listening area.Mounting the speaker on a panel of a suspended ceiling  
will adversely affect its performance.

prewiring  
Check local building and electrical codes for compliance of the speaker wire.  
Use stranded wire of at least 16 gauge; for runs over 100 feet, it is preferable to use 14 gauge wire.  
Use only insulated staples or nylon tie straps to secure wiring within the wall to avoid shorts.  
Do not stretch the wire as it is being routed. This could create future (and costly) problems.  
Leave about 2-3 feet of free wire at both ends. Cutting excess wire is better than splicing.  
Always "home run" wires: run a continuous wire from each speaker directly to the source location.  
Do not connect speakers together any other way for easier diagnosis of faulty wire or speaker problems.  
The C62ic stereo speakers require 2 speaker wires per speaker.  
Wire speakers in phase with the same polarity. Attach positive (+/red) and negative (-/black) terminals  
consistently.  
Combined impedance for speakers connected to each channel must be at least 4 ohm. This is the  
minimum impedance tolerated by most amplifiers. Check with your dealer before wiring.  
preparing the wall or ceiling cutout  
Confirm there is at least 1" between the final cutout and nearby studs or joints for positioning  
mounting hardware. Temporarily fasten the stiff paper template (supplied) to the wall with  
thumbtacks. Carefully trace around the perimeter with a pencil. Before making the final cutout  
of the entire hole, first make a small 4-inch"test" cutout in the center of your penciled outline.  
Reach your hand inside to verify that studs are outside the outline. This is an important step,  
since stud finders are not infallible.  
To cut the actual hole, first score wallboard with a sharp knife; then use a keyhole saw to  
complete the cut. Remove remaining debris from the edges. Hold the speaker up to the cutout  
to make sure it inserts easily without forcing.  
At this point, it is a good idea to secure the speaker wire(s) to a stud near the cutout so its own  
weight will not tug on the terminals of the speaker after it is connected. This will also prevent  
you from "losing" the wire in the ceiling. Before attaching the wire(s), make sure the speaker  
wire(s) runs through, not around, the metal mounting bracket.  
installation preparation  
Use the supplied template to outline the mounting hole. Cut the mounting hole and remove any  
debris from the area. Take the necessary steps to keep debris from falling into the back of the speaker.  
Route the wire(s) from the amplifier to the speaker installation location. Connect the speaker  
wire(s) to the color-coded terminals. Strip about 1/2" of the insulation from the wire conductors.  
Twist the wire strands of the conductors into neat bundles. Insert wire(s) into wire holes on speaker  
plugs and tighten set screws. Plug speaker plugs into crossover terminals on the PC board.

final installation  
The speaker is held in place with four mounting clamps that are part of the assembly. When  
shipped from the factory the clamps are pivoted so they will fit into the mounting hole. When  
the mounting hole clamp screws are turned, the clamps pivot outward and are then drawn  
downward until they press against the back of the mounting surface.  
Insert the speaker/mounting bezel assembly into the mounting hole. Hold the speaker in place  
in the mounting hole and evenly tighten the four mounting screws to draw the mounting  
brackets against the backside of the wall. Gradually tighten the screws, moving from one to  
another, until the speaker is firmly clamped in place.  
custom painting  
Paint the speaker frame and grill before mounting to the wall; paint grill and frame separately.  
Before painting, mask the recessed area of the speaker to completely protect the speaker  
drivers.  
After painting the grill, gently blow through its perforated holes to prevent paint clogging.  
operation  
checking the system  
Listen carefully to each speaker. If you hear buzzing or rattling noises, remove the speaker and  
check for a speaker wire(s) or other objects touching the speaker assembly. When you are  
satisfied with the installation press the grills into place.  
tweeter protector  
If a speaker sounds "dull", or "lacks "brilliance", you may have activated the tweeter protector.  
If high power operation causes the tweeter to stop playing, turn down the volume control until  
normal sound resumes.
