Installing the speaker into the ceiling
Before installing the speaker into the ceiling,
it is recommended to attach a safety line
to the secondary support tab. Consult
local codes for more information
about secondary support
requirements.
1. Remove the grille by inserting the
included grille removal key in any
hole at the edge of the grille and pull
out to lift the grille.
2. Insert the speaker into the ceiling until
the rim is flush with the ceiling. Make sure to
tuck any excess wire into the ceiling behind the
speaker.
3. While supporting the speaker from below,
use a Phillips head screwdriver to tighten the
mounting tabs by turning the attachment
screws CLOCKWISE.
Note: The first quarter rotation turns the
mounting tabs outward. Make sure that all
the mounting tabs have turned out before
tightening all the attachment screws.
Caution: DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. Over tightening can weaken
or damage the ceiling tile or ceiling structure and damage the
mounting tabs.
Adjust the Multi-Tap Selector
Before attaching the grille, set the multi-tap selector dial to the
appropriate setting. Delay attaching the grilles until the taps for all
speakers in the system are adjusted.
The multiple taps of the CSP series allow the flexibility of
determining how much power each speaker drives. For low-ohm
systems, set the dial to the “16R” position.
Caution: DO NOT CONNECT THE SPEAKER TO A HIGH-
VOLTAGE SYSTEM WHEN THE TAP IS SET ON BYPASS 16 OHMS
(16R SETTING ON THE TAP SELECTOR). DOING SO WILL
DAMAGE THE SPEAKER.

Attaching the Grille
1. Place the grille over the speaker baffle.
2. Press the edge of the grille into place
until it is level with the rim.
Note: Pressing on the center can dent
the grille.
Caution: Make sure the grill is firmly seated into the speaker to
prevent it from vibrating or falling.
Painting
Preparing
Remove the grille by inserting the included grille removal key in
any hole at the edge of the grille and pull out to lift the grille. Clean
off any oily residue by rubbing the surfaces with a cloth dampened
with a mild solvent (like mineral spirits) and wait until dry. Do not
use a wire brush, sandpaper, harsh detergents, chemicals, or strong
solvents to prepare these surfaces. It can cause permanent damage
to the grille and rim.
Painting the rim
Apply at least two coats of either latex or oil-based paint to the rim.
For best results apply a coat of oil-based primer first.
Painting the grille
Spray on at least two thin coats of latex or oil-based paint. Applying
the paint to the grille with a brush or roller is not advised because it
can create clogs in the mesh and diminish the sound quality of the
speaker. After the paint has dried, replace the grille.
Caution: When painting the speaker after it is installed, make sure to
cover the speaker baffle. Do not attempt to paint the interior of the
speaker. It could cause permanent damage.
