With the grill removed, place the speaker in the ceiling opening. Make sure that the speaker wire is not hanging against the speaker where it can vibrate and rattle as the speaker reproduces your audio program.

Should it ever become necessary to remove the AC Series speaker from the ceiling, simply remove the grill and turn the four mounting screws counter- clockwise until you feel the clamps lock out of position in their resting flanges. The speaker should easily come out of the wall for service or replacement.

Grill Removal (if installed)

Locate a small hook tool (available at most auto parts stores or home improvement shops, resembling a dentist’s pick- a bent paper clip or stiff wire will work as well), hook the metal mesh of the grill near a corner or edge and gently pull it towards you. Only lift the grill 1/4" (6mm) at this location. Move the tool 1-2" (25-50mm) and repeat until the grill can be removed

Next, one at a time, turn

each of the three screws that operate the clamps counter clockwise a few turns until you feel the clamp is loose from its resting position. Now turn the screw clockwise until you feel the clamp contact the ceiling surface.

The resistance of the speaker wire in your installation can cause your speakers to perform at less than their optimum quality level. Excess resistance caused by using an undersized speaker wire can result in loss of

Tighten all four of the mounting screws in the same manner until the speaker is properly aligned and held tight to the ceiling surface. Caution: Do not over tighten!

Painting the Speaker

Two paint shields are included in each AC Series speaker package. Place the paint shield inside the frames to protect the speakers. You can now safely paint the speaker frames to match your wall surface if you desire.
