1Installation
Saros®speakers by Crestron®deliver professional grade
performance and flexible installation in a range of popular
sizes for demanding commercial applications. Solid
construction, easy installation, and high end components
are hallmarks of the complete Saros speaker line.
Ideal for use in background or foreground music, paging,
and sound reinforcement systems, Saros speakers are
engineered to achieve smooth, even coverage, high output,
and clear, natural sound quality through the employment of
horn loaded dome tweeters, high efficiency damped cone
woofers, ported enclosures, and precisely tuned crossovers.
Their low-profile enclosures allow for installation in constricted
ceiling spaces as shallow as 5 1/8 inches (130 mm).
Prepare Mounting Hole
Front View - Grille Removed
Tighten Screws
Before finalizing the speaker location, check to make sure there are no fixtures, pipes, air ducts,
joists, or other possible obstructions. If applicable, use a good quality stud finder to locate joists.
If there are no obstructions, use the supplied template to trace an outline of the mounting hole.
For drop tile ceilings, remove the ceiling tile and place on a flat surface to trace the mounting
hole. For drywall or standard construction ceilings, use the template to trace the mounting hole
directly on the ceiling.
Install Cable
Run the cable from the audio source to the speaker location, observing all appropriate local
codes. Strip the ends of the speaker cables approximately 1/8” to 3/16” (~3 mm to ~5 mm) and
twist the strands.
Install Tile Bridge
The included tile bridge components provide proper support when the speaker is installed in a
typical drop tile ceiling. Refer to the illustration below.
1. Based on the location of the mounting hole determined in “Prepare Mounting Hole” above,
use the two supplied screws to attach the support ring to the rails so that when installed,
the ring is aligned with the mounting hole and the rails rest on the ceiling grid frame.
2. The support ring position on the rails is adjustable to enable off-center speaker positioning.
The tile bridge assembly can be folded to fit through the speaker cutout in blind-mount
situations.
Speaker Cable Connections
Mount/Remove Speaker
The in-ceiling speaker includes four toggle clamps that simplify the mounting process. If the grille is
mounted on the speaker, remove it before proceeding. (Refer to “Install/Remove Grille” above.)
1. Referring to the illustrations to the right, remove the screw securing the rear cover panel, and lift
the cover panel off to expose the supplied terminal block.
2. Route the speaker cable through the cover cable clamp and connect the wires to the terminal
block, using the outer IN terminals: red to +and black to –. Use the inner +and – THRU
terminals to connect a pass-through (parallel) speaker.
3. Allow some slack in the speaker cable(s) and position the cover panel on the back, making
certain it engages the mounting clips. Secure the cover panel using the screw removed in step 1
and tighten the cable clamp to secure the cable(s). Do not over tighten. Use a safety tether
attached to the rear enclosure to prevent the speaker from accidentally falling.
4. The toggle clamps offer two positions to accommodate both standard and extra thick surfaces up
to 2.4 inches (61 mm). For extra thick tiles, reset the toggle clamps to the upper position.
a. With the toggle clamps turned inward, insert the speaker into the opening.
b. Hold the speaker against the ceiling and begin tightening the four screws on the front of the
speaker. The toggle clamps first rotate into clamping position (as indicated in the front view
illustration to the right) and then begin holding the speaker to the ceiling.
c. Tighten the screws until the speaker is secure. Do not over tighten.
5. Speaker removal is accomplished by reversing steps 1 through 4 above.
Tile Bridge Assembly
Install/Remove Grille
The zero-bezel frameless grille is held in place by powerful magnets. A safety tether is included to
prevent any possibility of the grille falling from the ceiling. With the tether attached, place the grille
in position on the speaker. To remove the grille, grip the edges and pull away from the speaker.
Paint the Speaker Grille
Speaker grille painting should be done prior to mounting.
1. Carefully remove the material on the underside of the grille and set it aside for reinstallation. It may
be necessary to use a knife or other sharp instrument to free an edge of the material so it can be
peeled away. Use care to avoid cutting or tearing the material.
2. Dry brush or lightly spray the surface to be painted. Use care to avoid clogging the holes in the grille.
3. Once the paint is dry, reinstall the material to the underside.
Set the Transformer Tap Selector Switch
The speakers are equipped with a 70/100 V matching transformer for distributed audio
systems. The transformer tap selector switch on the front panel is used to set the speaker
power level. Use a flat blade screwdriver to adjust the switch.
1. For SAROS_IC6LPT and SAROS_IC8LPT 70 V systems, use the left side settings
and select from 3.75, 7.5, 15, 30, or 60 watts.
2. For SAROS_IC6LPT and SAROS_IC8LPT 100 V systems, use the right side settings
and select from 7.5, 15, 30, or 60 watts. The Xposition should not be used.
3. For SAROS_ICE6LPT and SAROS_ICE8LPT 70 V systems, use the left side settings
and select from 3.75, 7.5, 15, or 30 watts.
4. For SAROS_ICE6LPT and SAROS_ICE8LPT 100 V systems, use the right side
settings and select from 7.5, 15, or 30 watts. The Xposition should not be used.
The switch may also be set to 8Ω operation, bypassing the transformer completely. This
setting should be used only for 8 Ω audio systems.
