INSTALLATION NOTE: TILE RAILS AND C-RING
Each speaker comes with two tile rails which are designed to fit either standard 24-inch-wide
or 600-mm-wide tiles. It is important to note that the tile rail pieces do not actually attach to
the T-grid struts. The ends of the rails sit OVER the T-grid strut. Normally, the tile supports the
rails. The tile rails are pre-punched at regular intervals with holes along their length. This
allows the C-ring to be positioned at any point along the rail. If the tile comes out or falls
apart, the ends of the support rails fall onto the T-grid, which prevents the speaker assembly
from falling.
Always use all included support hardware when installing into suspended ceiling tiles to make
sure the installation is secure.
For sheetrock ceiling installations, the C-ring should be used by itself to reinforce the ceiling
material and to spread out the pressure from the speaker hold-down tabs. Guide the C-ring
through the cut hole in the ceiling, and place it on the back side of the hole before inserting
the speaker.
4.3 Step 3 — Attach Wiring to the Terminal Connector
Insert the bare end of wire into the appropriate connector terminals and screw down the hold-
down screw until tight, using a small screwdriver.

WIRING GUIDELINES
The input connector’s four terminals are numbered and marked on the connector. Pins 1 and
2 are positive (+); pins 3 and 4 are negative (-).
Note: Pin 1 is connected to Pin 2 and Pin 3 is connected to Pin 4 inside the speaker. Pins 1
and 4 are used as daisy-chain connections to other loudspeakers.
There are two possible layouts for wiring a group of speakers; wiring in parallel or Daisy-
Chaining.
Wiring in parallel
Connect the wire pair of the subsequent speaker to pins 2 and 3. When one input connector is
removed, subsequent speakers will remain connected.
