K l i p s c h IC - SW- 8 T in - ceiling subwo o f e r.

The IC-SW-8T in-ceiling speaker is designed for music reinforce- ment applications. Unobtrusive, these loudspeakers are engi- neered for easy, versatile installation.

The IC-SW-8T features a transformer-less design for 70.7V/100V distributed-line systems. Some of the benefits of this design are: Elimintation of transformer saturation at high output levels, elimination of transformer insertion losses, improved bandwidth (particularly at low frequencies), and improves power transfer to the loudspeaker at low frequencies. For applications where 4 ohm mono or 8 ohm stereo operation is required, the mode of operation can be selected by using an optional connection located on the back input terminal and by properly setting the rotary switch located under the grill.

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

The IC-SW-8T includes 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.

I n s t a l l a t i o n

1.The tilebridge is composed of three parts—a reinforcement ring and two rails. The two rails should be attached to the reinforcement 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-SW-8T cut out a hole in the ceiling using either the cardboard cutout template provided with your speakers 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.

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 adapter (provided). Feed wires through conduit/wire adapter and connect to the input terminal according to the desired operation mode. 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, ta ke care to ensure proper terminal connection. Connection to the low impedance termi- nal could result in speaker damage, amplifier

damage, or bot h.
