Construction:

1.Use a stud locator to identify the location of the ceiling joists on each side of the proposed loudspeaker mounting location.

2.Mark ceiling joists’ edges, using masking tape.

3.Repeat this process for the other loudspeaker locations.

4.You may have to adjust the loudspeaker mounting locations based on how the ceiling joists line up with the proposed speaker mounting locations.

5.Check for clearance using the following method:

a.Drill a 1/4" pilot hole in the center of the intended speaker location.

b.Cut a foot-long piece of coat hanger.

c.Bend the wire, creating a right angle, leaving 4-1/4" at one end.

d.Poke the “L-shaped” wire into the pilot hole and turn it in a complete circle, checking for obstructions.

e.Push it up into the ceiling cavity to make sure you have approximately 4" of depth.

f.If the coat hanger’s movement is obstructed by anything, fill the hole(s) with spackle and try another location.

6.Locate the hole template and remove the inside portion of it. The inside portion can be used as a paint mask, if you are painting the frame of the loudspeaker.

7.Use a pencil and hole template to trace the hole outline in the desired location on the ceiling.

8.Use a drywall saw to cut along the penciled line.

9.Strip 1/4" of insulation from the end of each wire coming from the amplifier.

10.Tightly twist the end of each wire until no frayed ends remain.

11.Attach the speaker wires to the speaker terminal connectors. Connect the negative output from the amplifier to the black terminal and the positive output to the red terminal.

12.There are four clamps “dogs” which hold each speaker in place. Rotate all the dogs inward.

13.Insert the loudspeaker into the cutout in the ceiling.

14.The dogs are tightened via four front-baffle screws. Tighten the dogs by turning the screws clockwise, while pressing the loudspeaker against the ceiling. NOTE: DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THESE SCREWS. Over- tightening the screws may make the grille difficult to install.

15.Install the grille into the speaker.

16.Repeat this procedure for the next speaker.

Installation New Construction:

Install the proper ceiling bracket for this loudspeaker (NCB-8) using the instructions supplied with the bracket. After the

hole is cut in the drywall per the bracket instructions, perform the following steps:

1.Strip 1/4" of insulation from the end of each wire coming from the amplifier.

2.Tightly twist the end of each wire until no frayed ends remain.

3.Attach the speaker wires to the speaker terminal connectors. Connect the negative output from the amplifier to the black terminal and the positive output from the amplifier to the red terminal.
