Preparing the Input Cover
The input cover is designed for three dierent wiring scenarios (see above). To change the configuration of the input cover to support
your wiring scenario, cut along the perforation on the rubber conduit. Use one ½-inch to ½-inch threaded coupling and two ⅜-inch trade
size conduit fittings for ½-inch knockouts (see diagram below).
CAUTION: Do not use the wide open wiring scenario when installing the input cover with a flexible conduit.
CAUTION: To prevent water ingress, do not install the input cover facing upward.
Note: It is the installer's responsibility to seal against water ingress into the Euroblock connector. Use outdoor or marine-grade silicone to
seal all wiring connections to ensure a tight seal.
Note: Flexible conduits and couplings must be UL Listed, suitable for the application, and installed in accordance with the local authorities
having jurisdiction.

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.
A safety cable can be attached to the loudspeaker
using one of the threaded inserts on either the
rear or the sides of the enclosure. If installing the
loudspeaker using the included mounting bracket,
use one of the rear threaded inserts (2). If installing
the loudspeaker with one of the optional accessory
brackets (see page 4), use one of the side threaded
inserts (1). See the diagram to the right for safety
attachment points.
The side inserts (1) are sized for M8 screws
(not included) with a depth of 11 millimeters
(0.43inches). The rear inserts (2) are sized for M8
screws with a depth of 15 millimeters (0.59 inches).

1. Mark the drill holes.
2. Drill four holes (sized for appropriate fasteners) into the wall.
3. Secure the bracket to the wall with two screws (not included). Note: Use M6 or ¼"-20 sized screws.

Wiring the Connector
1. Feed the wires through the center hole of the bracket.
2. Insert the wires through the bottom of the input cover.
See Preparing the Input Cover on page 4.
3. Wire the connector. For wiring information, see Wiring

Installing the Loudspeaker
WARNING: Failure to follow the steps below could lead to an unsafe mounting condition, which could create a falling hazard.
1. Attach the wired connector to the loudspeaker.
2. Place the input cover over the connector and press it firmly against the loudspeaker to create a tight seal. Use the two included input
cover screws to secure the input cover. See Preparing the Input Cover on page 4.
3. Hold the loudspeaker in between the bracket arms and insert one of the included bracket screws into each side of the loudspeaker
using the threaded inserts.
4. Align the pins on the mounting bracket with the angle slots appropriate for your installation and snap the bracket into the loudspeaker.
Note: The angle of the loudspeaker can be adjusted to 0°, ±15°, ±30°, or ±45°.
Note: In outdoor applications, do not install the loudspeaker with an upward pitch.
5. Tighten the screws on both sides of the loudspeaker to secure the loudspeaker to the mounting bracket. Do not over-torque the screw.
Note: Before attaching the grille, adjust the loudspeaker tap settings to the appropriate setting for the installation. See Loudspeaker
Settings on page 5.
6. Locate the extended grille tab on the inside of the grille. Attach the grille by sliding it into place. Be sure the extended grille tab
