Quick Start Guide

Installation
QCI3
1. WARNING: To avoid potential damage to your loudspeaker, ensure that the ampli er is switched OFF prior to
connecting or disconnecting any cables.
2. The procedure below describes the installation of the QCI3 speaker into a typical stud ceiling or wall with
drywall/plasterboard.
3. Locate a suitable mounting position for the speaker, using a stud- nder.
WARNING: Make sure that there are no power lines, other cables, or plumbing such as water, sewer, gas lines in
the chosen cutout location. Also make sure that the location is far enough from the closest wall stud so that the
clamping mechanism can operate without interference.
4. Carefully mark and cutout a 117 mm (4.6") diameter hole in the drywall/plasterboard, and remove any debris.
5. Run the speaker wire from your ampli er to this location, leaving enough slack to allow for the connection.
6. To use the square speaker grille, push the speaker into the supplied square ba e. The circular grille does not
need a circular ba e, as it  ts directly over the speaker.

7. Pull out the 3 covers from the front of the speaker which hide the clamping system.
8. Each clamp can move up and down in its slot by  rst pulling out the “cable-ties” from their tucked (stowed) position,
and releasing the tab. With the tab held, move each clamp backwards down the slot as far as it will go, so the clamps
will be at the rear of the can, and inside the diameter of the cutout hole.
9. Follow the information on the previous pages to connect the speaker wires from your power ampli er to the
speaker terminals. Make sure to check that the polarity is correct and that the positive and negative wires are
securely and correctly connected.
10. Press the speaker (or speaker and square ba e assembly) into the cutout hole in the wall, making sure that the
speaker wires are not trapped.
11. Pull the clamp cable-ties forward as far as they will go. This will move the clamps forward and secure the
speaker to the wall.
