ARENA 6IC, ARENA 8IC, ARENA 6ICDT In-Ceiling Architectural Loudspeaker Instruction Manual
DOCUMENTATION CONVENTIONS This document contains general safety, installation and operation instructions for the JBL Arena 6IC, 8IC and 6ICDT in-ceiling loudspeakers. It is important to read this document before attempting to use this product. Pay particular attention to: WARNING: Calls attention to a procedure, practice, condition or the like that, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in injury or death.
LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT FOR DISTRIBUTED SOUND • Since distributed sound is general sound throughout an area, place the loudspeakers as uniformly as possible for even sound coverage throughout the area. • Place the left and right loudspeakers roughly the same distance from the primary listener locations. • To avoid “hot spots” where the sound is too loud, plan to use more loudspeakers, with each set to play at a lower volume.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CONNECTING TO THE AMPLIFIER CAUTION: Do not use the tweeter-mounting baffle as a handle to move, carry or position the speaker. Doing so can damage the baffle. Such damage is not covered by the speaker’s warranty. CAUTION: REMOVE POWER You must connect the speaker wires before the speaker is fully installed.
MOUNTING THE SPEAKERS For New Construction If you wish to pre-install a rough-in frame for the speakers before the drywall is installed in new construction, you will need to purchase the correct rough-in frame kit for your loudspeaker model from your authorized JBL dealer. Detailed mounting instructions are supplied with the rough-in kit. After the drywall is installed, follow the installation instructions in For Existing Construction, below. 4.
7. Insert the speaker straight into the mounting opening. Tighten the speaker clamp screws on the front of the speaker baffle. The speaker clamps will automatically rotate into position and begin clamping the speaker. • When you notice resistance on the screws the speaker has been clamped successfully. IMPORTANT: Always use low-torque settings.
