Quick Start Guide

INSTALLATION
PCI 8DC
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 speaker into a typical stud ceiling with drywall/
plasterboard.
The PCI 8DC speaker frame is installed and wired, then the speaker assembly can be added later.
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. Use the supplied cutout template as a guide, and cut out a circular hole in the drywall/plasterboard. Remove any
debris from the hole. Use a suitable adhesive in the local area inside the hole to seal the drywall to the studs and
joists, to prevent ceiling buzzing.
5. Run the speaker wire from your ampli er to this location, leaving enough slack to allow for the connection.
