Product Usage Instruction

Installation

Connect the power supply to the speaker.
Connect the common cable to the COM connector.
Connect the main feed cable to one of the following connectors: 5/10/20W.
Extend the clamps and fit the speaker into the hole in the ceiling. Pull the clamps down to secure the speaker.

Troubleshooting
If you put the insulation unevenly, this could result in uneven sound. Make sure to put in the same amount of insulation around each speaker. If some speakers are packed tightly, while others just have the insulation loosely around them, then you will end up with different levels of sound absorption.

Installation

Connect the power supply to the speaker. Connect the common cable to the COM connector. Connect the main feed cable to one of the following 3 connectors: 5/10/20W.
Extend the clamps and fit the speaker into the hole on the ceiling. Pull the clamps down to secure the speaker.

Troubleshooting

No Sound
Always check if all the cables and cords are connected. Always turn off power to the area before checking the wires, to prevent electric shock. If everything works properly and there is still no sound, revisit the manufacturer’s instructions to make sure they were followed during installation. If everything was installed correctly and there is still no sound, you may want to consider bringing in a professional to take a look at your speakers.
Low and Poor Sound
If your ceiling speakers are working but the sound volume coming from them is low, check the speakers to see if they are well insulated. If the speakers were installed and there was no insulation around or behind them, you are going to want to add some. Adding insulation will help buffer the sound and stop it from going up into your attic. It will also make sure that the speakers are secure in the holes, and won’t vibrate.
Uneven Sound
If you put the insulation in unevenly, then this could result in uneven sound. Make sure to put in the same amount of insulation around each speaker. If some speakers are packed tightly, while others have insulation loosely around them, you will end up with different levels of sound absorption.
Sound Warping
- If the sound coming out of your ceiling speakers is loud enough but seems to be warped or distorted, your treble or bass levels may need to be adjusted.
- If there are not many pieces of furniture in the room and the floor has no carpet or rug, then you will most likely have to set your treble to minus. With very little in the room to absorb the sound, too much treble can make the sound bounce off of fixtures in the room, making it tinny sounding.
- With the bass, if the speakers are too close to a wall and are not aimed properly, then you will need to set the bass to minus, to stop the low tones from bouncing off of the walls or large pieces of furniture.
