About this Guide

This guide describes the Extron CS 1226T Speaker System, the CS 26T speaker pair and the CS 120P enclosure and provides instructions for installing all components of the system in different types of ceilings.

Overview

The CS 1226T system features a low profile design that houses a 6.5-inch woofer and a 0.75-inch tweeter (CS 26T) contained in a UL 2043 rated enclosure (CS 120P) designed for use in plenum rated ceiling spaces.

This unique speaker system splits installation into two phases, rough-in and finish, allowing the installer to “reserve” space for the speaker system by installing the CS 120P back can and then later installing the CS 26T speaker. This two-step process (division of labor) is especially useful when multiple installers are involved. The CS 120P can be installed by the low voltage contractor while the CS 26T can be installed by the AV systems contractor.

Features

•US and metric ceiling grids — The CS 120P enclosure can be installed in both U.S. and metric ceiling grid systems (for metric systems, the CS 120P end tabs are cut off).

•UL 2043 listed — The CS 1226T is UL 2043 listed (only when the CS 26T is used with the CS 120P).

NOTE: The use of any other back can other than the CS 120P or those provided by

Extron voids the UL 2043 rating.

•Optional open back configuration — The CS 26T can be used without the CS 120P by reconfiguring the attached bass port plate (allowing the CS 26T to function as an open back speaker).

NOTE: When the CS 26T is used without the CS 120P, it is not suitable for air handling spaces and is not UL 2043 rated.

•New dog-leg design — The new dog-leg design eliminates jamming during installation.

•Low profile enclosure — The low profile enclosure is compatible with plenum environments where overhead space may be limited.
