6.5″ ceiling/in-wall
2-way full range loudspeaker
Installation
The loudspeaker can be installed both on the ceiling and on a vertical surface. It is strongly recommended that the mounting surface is flat (not curved).
Ensure that the mounting surface is free from obstructions, pipes or studs, either in front and behind the surface.
The cable runs and cable pipes shall be set according to the loudspeaker system configuration. The cables must be of adequate quality, suitable for the installation’s environmental conditions and with proper copper section to minimize power loss.
Common input wire (-) is BLACK.
Signal wire (+): connect only one wire among the input taps wires.
Select the input tap wire according to:
- the voltage level of the line;
- the wattage required to produce the desired sound pressure level for your application, allowing for some additional headroom.
The sum of the power taps of the loudspeakers connected to the same line shall be 20% lower than the amplifier’s wattage rating.
(1) Remove the grill from the loudspeaker and keep it in a safe place.
(2) Position the cutout template and mark the surface accordingly.
(3) Drill a pilot hole, then cut all of the way around the circular
outline with a cutting saw.
(4) Pull the speaker wire out of the hole and connect it to the loudspeaker.
(5) Insert the loudspeaker into the hole and tighten all the clamp screws with a Phillips #1 screwdriver.
4x Phillips screws
(6) Reposition the grill on the loudspeaker.

• Do not expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing and ensure that no
objects filled with liquids, such as vases, are placed on this apparatus.
• Prior to installing the speakers into any ceiling/wall, check the structure
for weight bearing ability and avoid contact with any wiring or plumbing that
might be behind the surface area.
• Installing on soft materials or in areas incapable of supporting the
speakers’ weight may cause personal injury or damage to the speaker.
