Model Summary Packing List: Zx1i Install All three Zx1i models use an 8-inch highexcursion LF driver and a 1-inch exit titanium compression driver on a rotatable horn to provide high-fidelity, fullrange sound over a wide coverage area. The system also features the exclusive QuickSAMTM mounting system for easy mounting and aiming. Listed and illustrated below are the parts included in each box of the Zx1i speaker.

Enclosure Attachment and Rotation Adjustment Bolt (Socket Head Bolt “B”) C. Dual low-frequency ports D. Durable zinc-alloy steel grille E.

Step-by-Step Installation and Wiring Step 1: Mount the SAM™ Bracket to Mounting Surface WARNING: It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that the mounting surface is stable and can support more than the speaker’s weight! Use only industry-accepted fasteners and mounting methods when mounting the bracket. Consult an expert if you are not sure. Read steps 2 and 3 before attaching the speaker in step 4. For standard vertical installation mount the SAM™ bracket as shown in Figure 3.
Step 2: Select Voltage Tap (Zx1i-100T model only) Before attaching the speaker to the bracket, select the proper voltage tap setting for your installation. The voltage selector switch is located at the rear of the speaker below the input terminal panel. The power taps are 100, 50, 25W and 12.5W at both 70.7V and 100V, with a 6W tap for 70.7V only. There is also an 8 ohm bypass setting. The taps are selected by a rotary switch on the back panel.
Step 3: Select the horn dispersion orientation– If necessary For the 90° x 50° horn version you may elect to rotate the horn assembly for more effective coverage depending on the orientation of the speaker cabinet in your installation. The horn is factory-installed with the 90° coverage in the horizontal plane and the 50° coverage in the vertical plane as shown in Figure 8 below. To rotate the horn follow the steps below: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Remove the logo badge to expose grille mounting screws.
Step 4: Attach the Speaker to the QuickSAM™ Bracket After mounting the QuickSAMTM bracket (from Step 1) to the desired surface, attach the speaker to the QuickSAMTM bracket by inserting the QuickSAMTM into slot on the side of the speaker until it “clicks” in place. Using the provided mounting tool, tighten the two socket head bolts A and B enough to allow aiming, as shown in Figure 9. After selecting the proper horizontal angle, secure the sweep axis as shown by tightening bolt A.
Step 5: Wire the Speaker Connect the wires to the speaker using the detachable 4 pole phoenix connector as illustrated in Figure 10. The 4 connections allow for convenient loop through wiring to the next speaker system wired in the system. Step 6: Secure the Seismic Tab Connection Point The rear of the enclosure includes an eyebolt for connection to a seismic restraint. Connect it to a properly rated hardware fitting that is securely installed independently of the SAM™ bracket.
Detaching the speaker from the QuickSAM™ Bracket Loosen Bolt “B” (See Figure 9). Press in the Mounting Tab while pulling the speaker away from the mounting surface. Press in Mounting Tab either with the included mounting tool (See Figure 11) or by hand (See Figure 12).
Appendix B: Painting the Zx1™ Speakers Painting Process The Zx1™ is made of high-impact polystyrene, which accepts a wide variety of paints. · Remove the grille and mask the baffle. · Clean the cabinet and grille by rubbing the speaker with a lightly dampened cloth. Do not, however, use abrasives such as sandpaper or steel wool. Never use gasoline, kerosene, acetone, MEK, paint thinner, harsh detergents, or other chemicals, as these agents may cause permanent damage to the enclosure.
