IC6-BSC, IC8-BSC In-Ceiling Speakers
IC6DT-BSC Dual Tweeter Speaker
Installation Guide

Introduction

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing Beale Basics Series speakers from Beale Street Audio!
Beale Basics In-Ceiling speakers install with ease using the ‘dog’ mounting system and magnetic grilles for fast, clean installations.
Please follow the instructions in this manual to assure proper installation and to achieve the full performance and satisfaction you would expect from Beale Street Audio.

Speaker Wire

For the IC6-BSC and IC8-BSC, pull one run of 16-2 stranded speaker wire from the amplifier location to each speaker location.
For the IC6DT-BSC, pull one run of 16-4 or 2 runs of 16-2 speaker wire from the amplifier location to each speaker.
If in pre-wire, while the walls are open and it’s easy, pull extra wire to any location that may be desirable to add speakers later. Leave extra length of wire on each end to allow making connections and installing/removing speakers.

New Construction

Beale Street Audio speaker installation can be simplified by using Beale
Street Audio new pre-construction brackets (sold separately; visit www.getbeale.com for additional information).
TB65 and PRECB65: Use for the IC6-BSC and IC6DT-BSC
TB80 and PRECB80: Use for the IC8-BSC
These are installed prior to drywall installation and allows for precise speaker placement and simplifies the final installation of the speaker.

Existing Construction

Speaker wire must be run from the equipment or volume control location to each potential speaker location.

Choose a location for each speaker that is free of obstructions created by joists, HVAC ductwork, electrical wire runs, plumbing or anything else that might not allow for the depth of the speaker or create interference or noise

Installation

| 1. Using the provided template, trace the inner circle onto the wall or ceiling where the speaker will be installed.
---|---
| 2. Cut the hole of the circle that was traced and pull the speaker wire(s) through.
| 3. Connect the speaker wire(s) to the correct terminals making sure that the polarity of the connections is correct
| 4. Place the speaker carefully into the hole cutout in the wall or ceiling, hold the speaker in place and tighten the “dog ear” clamps so that the speaker is firmly fixed in place.
| 5. OPTIONAL: The grill is able to be painted to match the surround decor. Make sure the any inner liner is removed BEFORE painting begins.

SPEAKER TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM	SOLUTION
NO SOUND	Verify that there is audio from the source selected. Select another

source if necessary.
| Ensure that the amplifier is turned on and connected properly.
| Check any connections at other devices, such as a volume control. Temporarily bypass the control if needed.
| Check wire connections at each speaker not producing sound for good contact to bare wire, not wire insulation.

Limited Lifetime Warranty

Limited Warranty
Vanco warrants to you, the original consumer purchaser of speakers, that under proper use and conditions, and subject to the other conditions provided below, your speakers will be free from defective materials and workmanship for the life of the speakers. This
warranty only applies to passive speakers. Active products, such as amplifiers, electronics, and powered subwoofers are not covered under the Lifetime Warranty. Please review the individual manual provided with each specific product for the warranty information.
What Vanco Will Do
If a speaker proves defective in either material or workmanship, Vanco, at its option, will either (a) repair and return it to you, or (b) replace and ship you a new speaker of the same model, unless your model is no longer available, in which case Vanco may replace your speaker with a current model of comparable value. In either case, Vanco will pay the shipping charge of sending you (US only) a replacement speaker or your repaired speaker. If a current model is substituted for your speaker, a modification to the mounting surface may be required. Vanco is not responsible or liable to make, account for or pay the cost of any such modification.
How To Make A Warranty Claim
The first step in making a claim under this limited warranty is to contact the Vanco authorized distributor/dealer where you purchased the speaker, or if you are unable to contact the distributor/dealer, you can contact Vanco directly, for instructions on what action to take. If it is necessary to return the speaker, it must be shipped in appropriate packaging to the destination given to you, prepaid with signature required for delivery, and be accompanied by (1) a document providing your name, address, phone number and email address, and a statement of why you believe the speaker is defective, and (2) a copy of your original receipt or bill of sale that identifies you as the original purchaser of the speaker and the authorized distributor/dealer you purchased it from (“Proof of Purchase”). You have the risk of loss or damage in transit to the destination, and therefore you are responsible for insuring the shipment for the full value of the speaker. Freight collect shipments will be refused. If Vanco determines this limited warranty does not cover your claim, your speaker will be returned to you freight collect.
