INSTALLATION NOTE: CONTROLLING VIBRATION
Because of their high performance, EVID ceiling loudspeakers can generate substantial
vibration, which can cause buzzing in loose sections of the ceiling structure. Depending on the
character of the ceiling tile and related components, dampening material may need to be used
under the tile rails or the edges of the tiles to eliminate rattles.
4.1 Step 1 — Cut the Hole
For suspended tile or sheetrock ceilings, cut out the hole either by tracing the cardboard
template or with a circular cutter set to the appropriate cutout size. If the wire has been pre-
installed, pull the wiring through the cutout hole.

4.2 Step 2 — Install C-Ring and/or Tile Rails
All EVID speakers come packaged with two types of backing hardware: a C-ring and two tile
rails. For suspended ceiling installations, insert the C-ring through the hole cut in the ceiling
tile. Place the C-ring around the hole with the tabs located as shown in the illustration. Insert
the tile rails through the cut hole in the ceiling tile. Snap the two rails into the two tabs in the
C-ring and align the rails so that the ends extend OVER the T-channel grid on the side of the
tile. Secure the rails onto the C-ring tabs by inserting a screw though each tab into the rail.
