Product Usage Instructions

Installation

Step 1: Remove the speaker from the box.
Step 2: Mark and cut a hole in the ceiling or ceiling tile using the included hole template. The required hole sizes are as follows:
- CS-C3: 140 mm (5.50″)
- CS-C4: 177 mm (6.88″)
- All other models: 271 mm (10.67″)
Step 3: Locate the euroblock in the accessory bag and connect the signal wire. Insert the euroblock into the rear of the back can. Attach the safety restraint to the rear of the back can. Close and secure the cover plate.
Step 4: Remove the grille and set the tap switch to the proper setting for your system. Attach the grille leash to the baffle by placing the large end of the clip over the snap fit post, then sliding the clip until the small end snaps into place. The tap switch is preset to the highest 100V position.
Step 5 (Ceiling Tile Only): Place the tile bridge on the back of the ceiling tile. Align the holes and insert the speaker into the hole. Tighten the dog ears, but do not overtighten. Note that tile bridge is not available for CS-C4.
Step 6: Insert the euroblock into the rear of the back can. Attach the safety restraint to the side of the back can. Close and secure the cover plate. For daisy-chaining, use the LINK output to run to the next speaker.
Step 6.1 (CS-C3 and CS-C4 only): Insert the euroblock into the rear of the back can. Attach the safety restraint to the rear of the back can. Close and secure the cover plate. Note that on model CS-C4H only, there is an additional rubber seal with a pre-cut X to allow cable access.
Step 7 (Drywall): Insert the speaker into the ceiling opening and tighten the dog ear clamps, but do not over tighten.
Step 7.1 (Ceiling Tile Only): Insert the euroblock into the rear of the back can. Attach the safety restraint to the rear of the back can. Close and secure the cover plate. Reattach the grille to the speaker. Insert the speaker, tile, and tile bridge into the ceiling.
Step 8: Check the tap setting and replace the grille.

NOTE: ALTERNATIVE GRILLES
All CS-C models are supplied with a circular grille as shown in the above diagrams.

Optional square grilles are available for all models except CS-C4:

Optional hexagonal grilles are available for CS-3C only:

All alternative grilles feature the same system of magnetic attachment to the speaker as the standard circular grilles, and therefore there is no difference in installation procedure.
