INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Figure 1. Mounting a CM6HDfx loudspeaker into a ceiling.

New Construction Bracket serves as a “hole saver” when drywall has not been applied. It is not necessary when

retrofitting to existing ceilings. Knockout wire tie allows the wire to be secured to the bracket throughout the new construction process. It knocks out cleanly when the speaker is installed.

New construction wings instantly snap into the bracket without screws.

Dogs swivel 90°,

 

then clamp the

 

speaker frame to

 

the drywall.

 

Frames are molded

 

with a slight texture

 

to assure good paint

 

adhesion.

 

Mounting screws tighten

Wings are scored for

the “dogs,” clamping the

speaker to the drywall.

easy size trimming.

 

Brackets and wings

 

attach to the ceiling joists

 

with nails or screws.

Rust-proof aluminum

 

grilles make the CM

 

Series perfect for moist

 

environments.
