INSTALLATION
Mounting
The VIP-415 Pendant Speaker is designed to be suspended from a ceiling using
the enclosed chain. The chain is not attached to the ring at the top of the
speaker to prevent damage to the speaker’s finish during shipping. To install
the chain, open the link on the end of the chain and loop the link through the
ring located on the top of the speaker and close the link. Make sure the chain
is securely fastened to the ceiling.
NOTE : An additional 6 feet Length of chain is available. Order Part
