Operation Manual

Thank you for purchasing Audica Professional loudspeakers.
Please take a few minutes to familiarise yourself with the installation procedure.
The loudspeakers are designed for installation into plasterboard ceilings or stud wall cavities.
INSTALLING THE LOUDSPEAKERS
Select a suitable mounting location for the
speaker taking note of the Warning Notices
above. Using the installation template
supplied mark the loudspeaker position and
cut the mounting hole.
Make sure all equipment is switched off. The loudspeaker cable should be stripped back ~10mm
so that there are bare wire ends. Remove the packaging and protective dust cover from the
loudspeaker and attach the loudspeaker leads using the pushdown spring clip terminals at the rear
of the loudspeaker. The positive conductor should be connected to the red terminal and the
negative conductor to the black terminal.
Note: Tweeter output level adjustment
On some Audica Professional models the tweeter output level can be increased or
decreased to accommodate room acoustics and application preferences. The tweeter
output is set using the 3 position switch located at the rear of the product.
The location of the 3 position switch may differ between models.
Check that each of the 4 swing out clamps are
rotated inwards. Push the loudspeaker through the
mounting hole and position flush with the ceiling.
Whilst holding the loudspeaker in place tighten each
of the mounting screws using a No. 2 Pozidriv
®
screw driver in the order shown in the diagram
(left). When an increase in resistance is felt the
clamp is in position.
Once the loudspeakers are
installed they should be tested
before the grilles are fitted. All
loudspeakers feature a swivel
tweeter that may be adjusted
allowing the high frequencies to
be directed towards the area
where coverage is required.
The tweeter’s outer frame (not
dome) should be pushed gently
to achieve the desired tweeter
position.
The loudspeakers feature a magnetic grille, which locates over the speaker bezel where it will be pulled into place.
Note that grilles may be rotated to any angle required.
Grille backing cloth
Some models feature a white backing cloth behind the grille to help minimize visual contrast with the ceiling. For the very best sound
performance it is recommended that this cloth is removed before use. To remove simply peel away the backing cloth from the grille.
Warning Notices
• Before cutting the mounting hole ensure that there is no conflict with other in-ceiling or in-wall installed items such as pipe work,
electrical cabling, gas pipes and supporting joists etc.
• It is important to ensure that the installation complies with relevant building regulations.
• Take care not to apply pressure to the speaker cone and tweeter dome during installation.
• Ensure that the speaker model is suitable for use in the intended application. The ic125 and ic165 models should NOT be used
where there are high levels of moisture.

The loudspeakers may be used in an 8 Ohm or
16 Ohm impedance setting using the 8
Ω/16Ω
selector switch. The factory default setting is 8
Ohm. Calculate the appropriate amplifier
impedance loading and set the loudspeaker to
the impedance required.
