[INSTALLATION GUIDELINES]
For proper connection and therefore full enjoyment of your new CIC AudioTM 100
series speakers, we encourage you to read this owners’ manual thoroughly, even if
you are very familiar with installing speakers. Speaker placement is very subjective.
Placement follows the guidelines for the developers of in- ceiling speakers, yet is also
guided by personal preferences. The proper spacing, location and adjustment of
in-ceiling speakers are critical for complete enjoyment of your new speakers. This
manual covers these topics thoroughly. Choose the appropriate mounting location for
each speaker.
NOTE: When deciding upon a location, consider the following:
· Be certain your speaker wires can be run to or are accessible from these locations.
· Make certain the wall or ceiling material is sturdy enough to support the weight and
vibration of the speakers.
· Be certain the area behind the speaker is free of obstacles such as wall studs,
electrical wiring, pipes, etc.
· Each speaker should be positioned properly, relative to the listening area for good
coverage.
· Audio performance and room-to-room isolation will be improved if there is some
fiberglass insulation placed loosely behind the speaker.
[SPEAKER INSTALLATION]
STEP 1: Using the supplied cutout template,carefully mark the area to be cut out.
Using a drywall knife or saw, cut a hole in the drywall and prepare the speaker wires
for connec-tion to the speaker terminals. (Fig. 1 for CIC-100-DVT-8, CIC-100-DVT-6,
CIC-100-IC-8, CIC-100-IC-6 & CIC-100-POINT-6).
STEP 2: Remove the grille from the speaker assembly (Fig. 2). If it is necessary to
paint the speaker grille to match the ceiling, we recommend that you do so with sever-
al light coats of matching spray paint.
STEP 3: Connect the speaker wires to the input terminals on the rear of the speaker,
making sure no loose strands are exposed (Fig. 3).
STEP 4: NOTE: For the CIC-100-DVT-6 there are several hookup options. For stereo
point-source operation, connect the speaker wires to the left AND right channel input
terminals on the rear of the speaker (Fig. 4). Make sure no loose strands are exposed.
Please make sure to check your hookup polarity for proper operation.
For Surround/Mono: The CIC-100-DVT-6 may also be used as a surround speaker
for home theater applications. For the SURROUND or MONO mode of operation,
connect your speaker wire to either the left OR right channel input as above (Fig. 5).
Next, connect 2 jumper wires from this same input terminal to the corresponding input
terminals on the opposite side of the speaker. Connect the red positive terminal to
opposite red terminal and black negative terminal to opposite black terminal.
This speaker may be set to either the bipole OR dipole mode of operation using the
selector switch on the rear panel.
Please note that the speaker is a 6 ohm speaker in this configuration.
STEP 5: Carefully position the speaker in the cutout hole. Using a screwdriver, rotate
the four clamps to secure the speaker to the drywall (Fig. 6). CAUTION: DO NOT
OVER-TIGHTEN.
Note: The CIC-100-POINT-6 have an angled baffle which allows the speaker to be
pointed toward the listening position. Rotate the baffle in the cutout until it is pointing
in the desired direction prior to tightening the clamping screws.
STEP 6: Carefully replace the grille by pressing it into the gap between the flange and
the baffle. Enjoy!
