Klipsc h IC - 5T and IC - 6T in - ceiling speakers .

The IC-5T and IC-6T in-ceiling speakers have been designed for speech and music reinforcement applications. Unobtrusive, these loudspeakers are engineered for easy, versatile installation.

The IC-5T and IC-6T feature an internal transformer for 70.7V/100V distributed-line systems. The transformer taps are selected using a rotary switch located conveniently under the grille. For applica- tions where 16 ohm operation is required, the transformer can be by-passed by using an optional connection located on the back input terminal.

Before installing your speakers, take a moment to check the con- tents of the cartons and make sure nothing has been damaged in transit.

Ins tallation Guidelines

The IC-5T and IC-6T include a tilebridge for use when installing the loudspeaker into suspended ceilings or wherever additional reinforcement of the ceiling material is required. The tilebridge and loudspeaker are designed such that installation may be accomplished where access above the ceiling is not possible or may be difficult.

Ins tallation

1.The tilebridge is composed of three parts—a reinforcement ring and two rails. The two rails should be attached to the rein- forcement ring using the two included screws as shown below.

Caution: Be sure to comply with any and all building codes in your area.

2.To install your IC-5T or IC-6T, cut out a hole in the ceiling using either the cardboard cutout template provided with your speak- ers or consult the measurements below. Pull wiring through hole.

3.To install the tilebridge, fold the rail side of the ring back upon itself using the spring tensioner on the reinforcement ring to allow insertion into the cutout hole. Once it is inserted into the cutout hole, release the reinforcement ring such that it unfolds back to its normal position. Position tilebridge over cutout hole, and ensure that the tile rails rest on the t-grid struts.

4.The wiring compartment is intended as a termination point for the audio circuit. Access to this compartment is gained by removing the terminal cover located on the back of the speaker. The terminal cover will accept the appropriate conduit/wire adaptor (provided). Feed wires through conduit/wire adapter and strip the insulation back approxi- mately 3/16". Connect the wires to the appropriate input terminal. Be sure to observe proper polarity. Replace the terminal cover and tighten the conduit/wire adapter to secure the wire.

Caution: When connecting 70V or 100V distributed line systems, take care to ensure proper terminal connection. Connection to the low impedance termi- nal could result in speaker damage, amplifier damage, or both.

IC-5T IC-6T specifications

Klipsch IC-5T and IC-6T are innovative in-ceiling speakers designed to deliver high-quality audio performance while blending seamlessly into any interior environment. Renowned for their exceptional sound reproduction, these models cater to both casual listeners and audiophiles, ensuring a rich auditory experience.

One of the standout features of the IC-5T and IC-6T is their woofers, which include high-quality materials designed to provide deep bass and a well-rounded sound profile. The IC-5T is equipped with a 5.25-inch woofer, while the IC-6T steps it up with a larger 6.5-inch woofer. This increase in size not only enhances the low-frequency response but also helps fill larger spaces with sound, making both speakers suitable for various room dimensions.

Both models utilize Klipsch's proprietary Tractrix Horn technology. This sophisticated design allows for more controlled dispersion of sound, resulting in reduced distortion and improved clarity. The horn-loaded tweeters enhance the high-frequency response, ensuring that dialogue and intricate musical details remain sharp and clear, whether you're watching movies or listening to music.

The installation process of the IC-5T and IC-6T has been made user-friendly. They come with a quick-installation mechanism, including a fully enclosed back box that minimizes vibrations and maximizes sound quality. The speakers feature a paintable grille that allows homeowners to customize the appearance to match their decor effortlessly.

Another defining characteristic is their performance in various environments. Due to their construction, the IC-5T and IC-6T can handle challenging setups, including multi-room audio systems and home theater configurations, without compromising audio quality. Additionally, they are designed to perform efficiently in both residential and commercial spaces, offering versatility for a range of applications.

In summary, Klipsch IC-5T and IC-6T in-ceiling speakers exemplify the perfect fusion of advanced audio technology and modern design. With their robust woofers, innovative horn technology, and versatility in installation, these speakers are an excellent choice for anyone looking to elevate their sound experience while discreetly integrating audio solutions into their living or work environments.
