Preparing the Installation
Using a Safety Cable
Some regional construction codes require the use of a secondary method of
securing loudspeakers to support structures to provide additional safety.
Choose a mounting position, method, and hardware consistent with local
building codes and regulations.
Bose recommends using (A) a safety wire or (B) a safety cable as a secondary
securing mechanism (not included). See the diagram to the right for safety
attachment points.
The included suspension cable can be used as a safety cable when using the
Threaded Rod Adapter or Pendant Conduit Adapter accessories.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for any secondary securing mechanism
implemented.
Mounting the Loudspeaker
Before beginning installation, be sure to adjust your loudspeaker tap setting.
-
Insert the included suspension cable through the cable fastener and wrap the cable around a support structure; secure the cable using the cable fastener. Note: Arrows on the cable fastener indicate the cable direction.
A. To loosen the cable, insert the fastener tool into the release hole and adjust the cable. -
Pull the loose end of the suspension cable to adjust the cable to the desired height.
-
Secure the cable clip to the center attachment point. Once you’ve reached the desired loudspeaker height, cut away any excess cable.
Note: Trim any frayed filaments with wire cutters after cutting to length. -
Remove the connector, wire the connector, and reinsert the connector into the loudspeaker. For wiring information, see Wiring the
The loudspeaker on page 4.
Note: If you intend to use a service loop, it can be stored in the loudspeaker recess at the top of the enclosure. Use the included cable ties to secure the wiring to the suspension cable. -
Rotate the grille so the logo is in an orientation suitable for your installation.
Note: Do not remove the grille unless painting. Logo can be removed from the grille by peeling away from grille surface.
