In-Ceiling Speaker Placement

Designed to function in any drywall or drop ceiling, Klipsch in-ceiling speakers are engineered for years of performance. Minimum construction requirements call for drywall or other mounting surfaces to be at least 3/8" thick. In drop ceiling installations, typical "drop in" 2’ x 4’ and 2’ x 2’ ceiling tiles are composed of low density materials which have the potential over time to sag and vibrate audibly. To maximize the acoustic performance of your in-ceiling speakers, Klipsch recommends you replace the original mounting panel with 1/2" to 3/4" plywood or medium density fiberboard (MDF) (see above).

Speaker Installation (for New Construction, skip to step #3)

1.Cut the appropriate size opening in the wall or ceiling using the template provided. If the template is not available, cutout dimensions are provided on the Klipsch website, www.klipsch.com. Sizes listed are minimum. If accuracy of cut cannot be achieved, you may add 1/4" to each dimension. Be careful not to cut through any existing wiring or plumbing. Avoid compromising any fire stops between studs.

WARNING: Voltages in this equipment are hazardous to life. No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate this device.

2.Run speaker wiring (18 gauge minimum) to the openings. Be sure to comply with all building codes in your area.

3.Attach the wire to the speaker using the wire’s color coding or markings as a guide to maintain proper polarity.
