to assure a seamless installation and non-compromised overall
sound quality.
• The CM5EH is a modern and very competitive built-in
loudspeaker, featuring a dual power 100 Volt speaker line
transformer as well as a direct 8 ohms connection, allowing
you to connect up to 2 speakers in parallel per 4Ω stable
amplifier channel. Easy to integrate in high quality BGM
systems, this speaker offers a soundstage, unheard in this price
range.
• For 100 Volt use, the CM5EH is equipped with a high quality
3/6 Watt 100 Volt transformer. Therefore, the speaker can be
used in almost every application requiring BGM sound levels.
• CM5EH is the ideal speaker for background music distribution
and has a very good speech intelligibility factor, making it your
number one choice. In the office, the bathroom or the local
library…
• The housing and grille are made from high quality ABS,
with mounting clamps (which don’t require any tools!) for
the chassis and foolproof grille mounting. The woofer has a
moisture proof coating and reinforced paper cone.

Safety precautions
• Keep this manual for future reference.
• When making the hole in your mounting panel to mount the
APart CM5EH speaker, make sure there is sufficient clearance
behind the panel (no obstructions like A/C channels, power
lines etc).
• Take care of your speaker wires; they should be free of
damage. Damaged speaker wires may result in poor sound
quality and can damage amplifiers.
• Only use accessories specified by the manufacturer.
• Make sure the mounting panel can support the speaker’s
weight.
• Use a sufficient amount of speakers to avoid death-spots.
• No mains power shall be connected to the loudspeakers, doing
so will damage the speaker.
• This apparatus should only be serviced by qualified personnel.
If not serviced by qualified personnel, warranty might be void.
• Use cable of the right gauge, certainly for long runs.
• Use cables with clear color indication and maintain polarity
throughout the whole system.
• Avoid loud feedback from microphones, as it can damage your
speaker.

Connecting the speaker to a 100 Volt speaker line
The speaker can be connected to 100 Volt speaker lines and has
a power of 3 or 6 Watts. Select 3 or 6 Watts, according to the
application. Never connect the 3 and 6 Watt wires simultaneously!
Transformer wires are color-coded:
Black = common. Connect to 100 Volt speaker line common
(ground)
Red = 3 Watt, connect to 100 Volt speaker line positive (plus)
Yellow = 6 Watt, connect to 100 Volt speaker line positive (plus)
In 100 Volt systems, total system power is the sum of all speakers in
the system, e.g.
The 100 Volt amplifier output power must be equal or higher than the total
speaker power!

the speaker interconnection:
Connect the Low-Z speaker wire to the free end of the connector.
Black wire = common (ground), red wire is speaker + wire. The
