3. To install the tilebridge, fold the rail side of the ring back
upon itself using the spring tensioner on the reinforcement ring
to allow insertion into the cutout hole. Once it is inserted into
the cutout hole, release the reinforcement ring such that it
unfolds back to its normal position. Position tilebridge over
cutout hole.
4. The wiring compartment is intended as a termination point
for the audio circuit. Access to this compartment is gained by
removing the terminal cover located on the back of the
speaker. The terminal cover will accept the appropriate
conduit/wire adapter (provided). Feed wires through
conduit/wire adapter and connect to the input terminal
according to the desired operation mode. Be sure to observe
proper polarity. Replace the terminal cover and tighten the
conduit/wire adapter to secure the wire.
Caution: When connecting 70V or 100V dist r i b u t e d
line systems, ta ke care to ensure proper te rm i n a l
connection. Connection to the low impedance te rm i -
nal could re s u l t in speaker damage, amp l i f i e r
d a m a g e, or both.

K l i p s c h IC-SW-8T in-ceiling subwo o f e r .
The IC-SW-8T in-ceiling speaker is designed for music reinforce-
ment applications. Unobtrusive, these loudspeakers are engi-
neered for easy, versatile installation.
The IC-SW-8T features a transformer-less design for 70.7V/100V
distributed-line systems. Some of the benefits of this design are:
Elimintation of transformer saturation at high output levels,
elimination of transformer insertion losses, improved bandwidth
(particularly at low frequencies), and improves power transfer to
the loudspeaker at low frequencies. For applications where 4
ohm mono or 8 ohm stereo operation is required, the mode of
operation can be selected by using an optional connection
located on the back input terminal and by properly setting the
rotary switch located under the grill.
Before installing your speakers take a moment to check the
contents of the cartons and make sure nothing has been
damaged in transit.

Installation Guidelines
The IC-SW-8T includes a tilebridge for use when installing
the loudspeaker into suspended ceilings or wherever additional
reinforcement of the ceiling material is required. The tilebridge
and loudspeaker are designed such that installation may be
accomplished where access above the ceiling is not possible
or may be difficult.
I n s t a l l a t i o n
1. The tilebridge is composed of three parts—a reinforcement ring
and two rails. The two rails should be attached to the
reinforcement ring using the two included screws as shown below.
Caution: Be sure to comp l y with any and all building codes
in your are a .
2. To install your IC-SW-8T cut out a hole in the ceiling using either
the cardboard cutout template provided with your speakers or
consult the measurements below. Pull wiring through hole.

5. Insert the speaker into the cutout hole. With a #2 Phillips screw-
driver, tighten the four dog clamps until they are seated securely
against the ceiling surface. Do not overtighten.
6. For installations using 70v/100v input connection, set the
switch on the front panel to "70V/100V".
For low impedance, stereo applications, the switch should be
set to 8 ohms stereo.
For low impedance, mono applications, the switch should be
set to 4 ohm mono.
In all cases, please make sure the speaker wires are connect-
ed to the appropriate terminal on the back.
7. Using the flat of your hand, insert grille into speaker frame
making sure it is securely seated and flush.
Seismic Ta b
A seismic tab, located on the back of the speaker, is used
as a secondary security point. Some construction codes may
require its use. To utilize the seismic tab, run a support wire
from a secure point in the ceiling and attach it to the tab.
Be sure to consult the construction codes in your area.
Klipsch recommends the use of this tab in all installations as
a secondary means of support.
