INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of these fine loudspeakers and welcome to the ELAC family. Ever since we
started in 1926, we have striven to create the very best products available. Our passionate team members are
always looking for ways to improve your listening enjoyment. We thank you for making this choice.
These ELAC Contractor Series In-Ceiling speakers are designed to accurately reproduce the full range of music
and film sound, while requiring absolutely no floor space. This compact format is ideal for applications where
traditional loudspeakers would be impractical or impossible. In-Ceiling speakers are ideal for Surround Sound
applications, anywhere space is a consideration, or to bring music into additional rooms of the house.
Please take a few minutes to carefully read this manual before you get started. Also, be sure to keep this manual
in a safe place should you need to refer to it in the future.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Use Only As Directed
• Observe all warnings on the speaker and in this manual.
• Please check the speaker for damage before use.
• Carefully consider the proper location before beginning the installation
• Observe the correct polarity when connecting these speakers, according to the instructions in this
manual.
Location
• Speakers should be mounted close to, or slightly above ear level whenever possible.
• Allow at least 1.5” of clearance between the wall “cut-out” and any studs or joists
• Please refer to the specification chart for the required depth for each model.
• Use the included template for proper “cut-out” of drywall
• Do not install the speaker near any heat sources such as radiators, heating valves, stoves or apparatus
(including amplifiers) ,or in areas where there is a risk of explosion.
• Do not install the speaker near transformers. EMF fields can cause unwanted noise
• Do not install the speaker in locations that are extremely humid, exceptionally hot, cold or prone to
vibrations
Overload
• Extreme overload of the device due to very high volume may cause damage to individual components.
Because of the possible danger, you should never leave loudspeakers under extreme overload
conditions unattended.
Volume
• CAUTION: Continuous high volume may cause severe damage to your hearing. Please listen responsibly.
Disposal
• The packaging is made from recyclable materials. Please be responsible & dispose of these packaging
materials in an environmentally sensitive manner.

INSTALLATION
Hooking Up The Wires
• For shorter distances up to 25 feet, 18 gauge speaker wire will be sucient. For longer distances, 16
gauge speaker wire should be used. The speaker terminals will accommodate up to a 14-gauge speaker
wire. Leave two feet of extra speaker wire at the speaker end to make installation easier. Do not use
nails, staples or other metal objects to secure the speaker wire. The resulting short-circuit could aect
your system’s performance & could also damage components in your system, especially the amplifier.
To minimize interference & external hum keep the speaker wires away from other electrical wires and
cables.
• When connecting the speaker wires it is important to retain the correct polarity. Be sure that the wire
attached to the “+”, red, positive, or hot terminal on your ELAC speaker connects to the “+”, red, positive,
or hot terminal on the other component.
Mounting the speaker
• Yes, you will be cutting a hole in the ceiling. With the right tools and a little extra preparation & care,
installing these in-ceiling speakers can be quick and easy.
• Carefully cut out the hole drawn on the paper template. (Note: the inside circle of the template can be
used to shield the woofer while you paint the frame.)
• Next, position the template where you have chosen to mount the speaker and trace along the inside
edge. Make your cuts along this line. A utility knife will make clean cuts in drywall. A keyhole saw or
electric jigsaw may also be used. Do your best to keep the cuts neat, however the frame will overlap the
hole to hide any rough edges.
• At this point, with the wall open, run the speaker cables into position leaving about two feet of extra
cable exposed at the opening. Strip the ends of the cable back by approximately ¼ inch (6mm) to expose
the bare wire.
INSTALLATION - continued
• Attach the speaker cables to the speaker terminals, observing the correct polarity.
• Remove the grille from the speaker frame. The grille is held on by magnetic attraction.
• With the grille removed, the speaker can be inserted into the mounting hole. First make sure all the tabs
are rotated inwards and then connect the speaker wires. The connector posts are spring loaded so the
bare ends of the speaker wire can be pushed into the holes of the post after the end cap is depressed.
Once inserted the end cap can be released and the wire will be held firm. Make sure no stray strands of
wire are exposed that could short across between the two posts.
• Use a Phillips head screwdriver – Turn each mounting screw clockwise to rotate the quick-turn mounting
bracket into place. Further turning of the screw will tighten the mounting bracket until it is firmly against
the wall. DO NOT over-tighten the screw to prevent breakage of the mounting bracket.
• When the speaker is mounted firmly in place, replace the magnetic grill
