1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read Instructions
2. Keep these Instructions
3. Heed all Warnings
4. Follow all Instructions
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including ampliers) that produce heat.
9. Only use attachments/accessories specied by the manufacturer.
10. Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus
has been damaged in any way, such as liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the
apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has
been dropped.
11. The entire sound system must be designed in compliance with the current standards and laws
regarding electrical systems.
12. When installing and using this apparatus, keep in mind the technical specications indicated in the
dedicated section of the manual.
13. Exposure to high sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. The sound pressure level which
leads to hearing loss varies considerably from one person to another, and depends on the duration
of exposure. The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has
established the maximum sound pressure levels that can be with stood without causing damage,
which are shown in the table below. According to the OSHA regulations, any exposure over the
maximum limits indicated in the table can reduce the hearing capacity of a person. To prevent
potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, anyone subjected to such levels
must use suitable protection. When a EAW Commercial product capable of producing high sound
levels is being used, it is therefore necessary to wear ear plugs or protective earphones when
the limits shown in the table are exceeded. Consult the specications provided in the instruction
manual to know the maximum sound pressure (SPL) the loudspeaker is capable of producing.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage"
within the product's enclosure, that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute
a risk of electric shock to persons.
Le symbole éclair avec point de flèche à l'intérieur d'un triangle équilatéral est
utilisé pour alerter l'utilisateur de la présence à l'intérieur du coffret de "voltage

2. INTRODUCTION
This manual describes the CIS6 loudspeaker. This is designed for quick ush-mounting
ceiling installation.
The HF and LF drivers are coaxially mounted for a smooth frequency response and
a symmetrical projection pattern. This results in an attractive design and good acoustic
features for quality speech and music reproduction.
The loudspeaker is equipped with a line transformer that makes it possible to connect it
to constant voltage sound systems at 70 V or 100 V. The transformer has four taps, allowing
a selection of power ratings to suit your system.
The steel bracket is tted with unique clamps that can signicantly reduce its installation
time. The grille assembly is rmly attached from behind the bafe. The driver/bafe assembly
then easily installs in the premounted bracket with spring-loaded hardware. This results in a
solid attachment method that also provides a cosmetically clean appearance.
Applications include:
• Meeting Rooms
• Hotels
• Transportation Terminals
• Multizone Paging/Music Systems
• Healthcare Facilities
• Commercial Ofces
• Conference Rooms
• Schools

3. INSTALLATION
The metal bracket provided with each loudspeaker offers quick installation into ceilings.
WARNING: Make sure that the loudspeaker is installed in a stable and secure
way in order to avoid any conditions that may be dangerous for persons or structures:
• Check to make sure that the ceiling has the necessary mechanical characteristics to
support the weight of the loudspeaker without the danger of it falling.
• Before suspending the loudspeaker, carefully check all the components to be used to
make sure there is no damage, deformation, corrosion and/or missing or damaged
parts that could reduce the safety of the installation.
Installation precautions
• Use speaker cables with an adequate cross-section (gauge). The greater the distance
between the amplier and loudspeaker, the larger the connection cable cross-section
should be.
• To prevent inductive phenomena causing humming or distortion, the speaker cables
should not be run together with electrical energy conductors, microphone cables,
or line-level audio lines. Use speaker cables that have markings to distinguish the
polarity, such as insulation or conductors of different colors.
Installation procedure
1. Cut a 7.87” (200 mm) hole in the ceiling, using all safety precautions to avoid cutting
power lines, water lines etc.
2. Take the bracket, loosen the two
wing bolts, and slide the xing plates
upwards. Press the bracket up into the
ceiling hole.
3. When the bracket is securely pushed up inside the
hole, slide the xing plates down to grip the top
surface of the ceiling. Tighten up the two wing
bolts to hold the bracket in place.
4. Offer up the Loudspeaker and attach the spring
clips to one side of the bracket.

4. CONNECTIONS
WARNING: To prevent the risk of electric shock, do not
connect the loudspeaker or change the power selector taps
with the amplier switched on.
1. Connect your amplier output to the terminals on the
loudspeaker. The loudspeaker negative terminal connects
to the negative amplier output, the loudspeaker positive
terminal connects to the positive amplier output.
2. Use the tables in the specication section
to select the power rating for the voltage
line you are using (70 V or 100 V). Move the
positive line to transformer terminals 1, 2,
3 or 4, depending on your required power
rating. Leave the negative on the COM
terminal (common).
3. When the connections are securely made, connect
the other spring clip to the bracket, and press
the loudspeaker upwards until it is ush with the
ceiling.
Precautions
• Before using the loudspeaker, carefully check that all the connections have been
made correctly to make sure there are no accidental short circuits that could cause
electrical sparks.
• Check if your power amplier’s constant output voltage is 70 V or 100 V, and nd the
rated power output.
• The sum of the operating power values of all the loudspeakers connected to the
audio line must not exceed 80 % of the amplier’s output power.
• Verify that the connections to all of your loudspeakers are made correctly “in phase.”
When different loudspeakers reproduce the same frequencies but with phase
differences, there may be sound cancellation. Loudspeakers are often situated in
adjacent positions and the sound waves interact with each other. If a loudspeaker is
connected incorrectly; i.e., the polarity of the audio line conductors is inverted, the
audio signals are transmitted with differences in phase and correct reproduction is
therefore jeopardized. Most notably, the bass response may suffer.
