PRODUCT-SPECIFIC NOTES

The UMB8-10 Universal Mounting Bracket has horseshoe tabs that allow it and the PBB8-10 backcan to be mechani- cally interlocked. Please refer to the instructions provided with the UMB8-10.

SOUND ADVANCE does not recommend installing a CT10 loudspeaker in walls and fascias. The springs may be subject to uneven compression, which can result in speaker displacement.

Backcans and plaster rings with U-shaped torsion spring receptacles are NOT compatible with SOUND ADVANCE products. Make sure the torsion spring receptacles of the selected hardware (if other than the UMB8-10) are the fl at, slotted type (i.e. Atlas Sound T-95 Series backcans and T-75 plaster rings).

In hard-to-access plenums or retrofit installations requir- ing backcans, CT10 loudspeakers can be installed using a blind-mount enclosure (Atlas Sound BMT95-8 Series or similar). These enclosures have mounting facilities for spring-mount speaker models. Please refer to the manufacturer’s specifi cations for more information.
