New Construction and Retrofit Installations

Note: A new construction rough-in kit and back box kit are optionally available from Atlantic Technology. Please refer to the instructions included in those kits for their use. If the rough in kit has been used please go directly to Step 2 below.

Mounting Hole Specifications:

ICTS-6.1: Diameter = 7 3⁄8 in., 188mm; Depth = 4 5⁄8 in., 118mm

1	Cut an appropriately sized opening in the ceiling material.Be sure that the
	ceiling material can support the weight of the speaker.Also be sure that

the sides of the opening are at least 1 ½ inches away from any beams or studs within the cavity. If it is not, the rotating clamps will be restricted in their movement and may not clamp properly.

2	Be sure that all foreign material in the ceiling is kept out of the speaker
	assembly,particularly the back of the woofer cone.There is a cloth shield
3	on the rear of the woofer, but please use care anyway.
	For conventional Connection to an audio amplifier/receiver:
	Attach the speaker wires that have been already run through the ceiling

to the speaker terminals. Simply remove ½ inch of insulation from the end of each input wire. Push down on the terminal connector and an opening will appear in the connector that is capable of holding up to 14 gauge wire.Insert the bare wire into the opening and release the terminal. Be sure to observe correct polarity, connecting the positive (+) leads to the red terminals and the negative (-) leads to the black terminals.Also be sure that no stray strands of wire touch across any terminals. See Figure 2.

	For Connection to an IP-type system, like NetStreams®:
	Unscrew the 4 setscrews	Figure 3
	on top of the built-in
	Phoenix connector and
	pull the wires away from
	the connector. See Figure
	3 (You may tie or clip the
	wires that used to connect
	here.)
	Connect the wires from
	the NetStreams amplifier
	to the ICTS-6.1's Phoe-
	nix connector and screw
	down tightly.Consult your
	NetStreams manual for
4	wiring details.
	Mount the speaker in the ceiling.
	Tighten the mounting screws one at a time. As you tighten the screws,
	the clamps on the back of the assembly will turn and lower, grabbing
	the back of the ceiling and sandwiching the ceiling between themselves
5	and the frame’s circular trim ring.
	Snug all four mounting screws in this manner. Be careful not to over-
	tighten them.
	IMPORTANT: If you are using an electric screwdriver, make sure it is
6	set to the “low torque” position.
	You may now install the grille into the frame by gently pushing it into
	the recess.
