MOUNTING LOCATIONS

SOUND ADVANCE products provide outstanding per- formance and economic advantages when installed in environments with an ambient noise level at or below 75dBA, where the speakers can be placed between 8 and 18 feet above the ﬂ oor, and which are large enough to ac- commodate at least 4 or more conventional loudspeakers. When system design requirements indicate speaker to speaker distances of greater than 40.0 ft., please contact the factory for additional technical information on such applications.

SOUND ADVANCE recommends mounting the CT10 in:

Suspended Ceilings

Wood or Metal Stud Ceilings

Most Sofﬁ ts

Retroﬁt into almost all standard 8” Loudspeaker Openings

RECOMMENDED ENVIRONMENTS

Indoor or Weather Protected Outdoor

RECOMMENDED FINISH

The ﬂat Expanded Polystyrene [EPS] loudspeaker surface may be ﬁnished with water soluble materials such as latex paints, to match any decor or color requirement, using conventional brush-on, roller or airless spray application systems.

UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

Open the shipping cartons carefully and remove all contents. Inspect the product and accessories for damage. Report damage or shortages to SOUND ADVANCE immediately.

CAUTION: SOUND ADVANCE loudspeakers utilize a ﬂat polystyrene material as the sound-radiating surface. Although it is resistant to mechanical dam- age and is unaffected by environmental extremes, care should be observed during handling, to avoid punctures or other damage.

CAUTION: DO NOT remove the protective cardboard disk until loudspeaker has been connected and properly secured.

INSTALLATION

The notes below are intended to provide general informa- tion and assistance in the installation of a CT10 and its compatible hardware in a variety of situations, and shall not be used as a step-by-step installation guide.

Although the CT10 can be installed using most industry- standard 8” loudspeaker mounting accessories, certain requirements or restrictions of use may apply. Please review the following notes and recommendations to assure all installation prerequisites will be met.

THESE NOTES ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AND SHOULD BE READ PRIOR TO BEGINNING ANY INSTALLATION.

Once reviewed, please proceed to the “Loudspeaker Connection” section.

GENERAL NOTES

•Make sure loudspeaker mounting conﬁ guration and installation hardware are compatible and appropriate for the selected application. System Engineers and Installers must always consult with the Local Authorities in order to obtain speciﬁ c requirements of an installation or product utilization.

•Make sure wiring methods, conduit, clamping, intercon- nection, sealing and termination procedures comply with NEC and the appropriate Local, Electrical and Building Codes.

•It is strongly recommended that all ceiling installations be done using the UMB8-10 Universal Mounting Bracket. It provides important structural support and is an advisable safety practice, whether required by code or not.

•A UMB8-10 bracket (or similar) is always required when installing the CT10 unless the selected backcan or plaster ring has built-in torsion spring receptacles.

•Hanging straps are normally provided on the PBB8-10 backcan and in most industry standard backcans. These should be used to attach the backcan (or backcan/bridge assembly) to the roof or other structural point, to support and suspend the load. It is good safety practice to use this option even if not required by local codes.

•The loudspeaker carton contains a cutout template that provides cutting diameters for most installation hardware. Please review the notes printed in the packaging carton to determine the proper hole size.

•If working on a retroﬁ t installation using torsion spring mounting hardware, insure that existing backcans have sufﬁ cient room for the torsion springs to open when
