QF6WRC INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
MOUNTING
When mounting QF6WRC speakers the following safety issues must be considered;
The mounting of a permanently installed speaker may be dangerous unless
undertaken by a qualified professional with relevant experience.
Ceilings and mounting surfaces must be capable of
supporting the speaker in a safe and secure manner.
Installation
(Refer to page 8 for dimension details)
Cut a hole with a diameter of 209 mm (8.3”) in the ceiling ensuring that there is sufficient
room both above and at the sides of the hole to comfortably fit the speaker.
To install the speaker, remove the grille by placing a screwdriver into the three grille release
tabs (slots) located around the circumference of the front panel and carefully prying it free.
Take care not to scratch the panel with the screwdriver.
Once the grille and front panel have been removed, simply insert the speaker into the ceiling
and using a screwdriver, tighten the three mounting tabs located around the circumference
of the speaker to lock it into place. Once the speaker is installed, relocate the grille and front
plate by securely pressing it back into place.
When wiring the speakers, always connect multiple speaker in parallel and ensure the
correct polarity of each speaker, with respect to each other is maintained. Isolate unused
wires in the speaker input cable so that they do not contact each other or any other
conductive object..
NOTE that the QF6WRC has a supervisory capacitor inserted across all 100V tappings.

MOUNTING
Removing the Grille
To remove the grille, simply unclip the front grille plate from the speaker by pressing the
grille release tabs which are identified from the front by three small indents located around
the circumference of the plate.
If the grille is to be removed whilst the speaker is not mounted, we recommend releasing
the tabs from the rear of the speaker so that the front panel is not scratched. If removing
from the front, take care not to scratch the front panel.
Once the panel is removed, the grille itself can be removed from the front panel by turning
it anticlockwise until the small tabs that hold it in place are released.
To reassemble, reinsert the grille following the reverse process and the front plate is
simply pressed back into the speaker.
