Tools and Equipment
• Straight edge
• Utility knife or drywall saw
• Screwdriver (small athead)
• Drill
• Marker or pencil
Included Components
• (1) TCQ speaker assembly
• (1) Ceiling grid t-bar attachment
• (1) 50ft plenum rated speaker wire
• (1) 15ft safety wire
• (1) Eye screw (1/4” x 3 ¾”)
• (4) Sheet metal screws (self-drilling)
Step 1: Selecting Speaker Mounting Locations
One TCQ speaker will distribute sound throughout a classroom of up to
1200 square feet. The location of the speaker is critical to ensure this
even sound distribution.
a.Identify the center of the listening area of the classroom for optimum
location (see figure 1).
b.Select a ceiling tile that is free from fixtures (lighting, HVAC, etc.)
nearest to the center point.
c. Remove the selected ceiling tile for speaker installation.
Step 2: Installing the Speaker into the Ceiling Grid
The dimensions of the TCQ speaker are 2’ x 2’ and is designed to lie
onto any standard suspended ceiling tile grid.
a.If the ceiling tile that was removed is 2’ x 4’, it needs to be cut in half to
accommodate the TCQ speaker. If the ceiling tile that was removed is
2’ x 2’, no cutting of the tile is necessary, skip to Step e.
b. Set the ceiling tile on a at work surface with the patterned side facing
down.
c. Using a straight edge, cut the 2’ x 4’ ceiling in half (see figure 2)
leaving two 2’ x 2’ sections.
d.Locate the 2’ ceiling grid t-bar attachment. Locate the attachment slots
in the existing ceiling grid and snap the new t-bar into place to crate
two 2’ x 2’ openings (see figure 3).
e.Lift the TCQ speaker up and lay it into the desired 2’ x 2’ opening in
the ceiling.
Step 3: Securing the TCQ Speaker
To comply with Building Codes, the TCQ speaker MUST be fastened to
the ceiling grid and secured with a safety wire.
a.Locate the four (4) self-drilling sheet metal screws.
b.Utilizing existing center holes on the vertical section of the ceiling grid,
drill one screw per side on the sides of the TCQ (see figure 4).
c. Locate the 15ft length of safety wire and the eye screw. The safety wire
needs to be permanently attached to the solid structural ceiling above.

d.Install the eye screw (or concrete anchors if necessary) into the
structural ceiling.
e.Loop one end of the safety wire through the eye screw (or anchor),
then twist it around itself at least five times.
f. Pull one of the tabs up on the TCQ (located in opposite corners) and
loop the other end of the safety wire through the tab. Pull the wire
through until it is taught and twist it around itself at least five times to
secure the speaker. Cut off any excess wire if needed. (see figure 5)
Step 4: Connecting and Routing the Speaker Wire
a.Locate the 50-foot length of plenum rated wire included with the
speaker and the green euro-block style connector.
b.Connect one end of the speaker wire to the euro-block connector (see
figure 6).
i. Insert the positive conductor (RED or WHITE in color) into the right side
of the connector and use a screwdriver to tighten.
ii. Insert the negative conductor (BLACK) into the left side of the
connector and tighten.
c. Insert the euro-block connector into the jack on the back of the TCQ as
shown in figure 6.
d.Route the speaker wire above the ceiling tiles and back down to the
amplifier. Wire should be secured and tied off overhead as required by
local building codes. Wire raceway should be used on walls to properly
conceal and protect the wire.
Step 5: Connecting Speaker Wire to CAT820 Amplifier
Connect the wires coming from the speakers to the amplifier - 820iR
(Figure 7)
a. The speaker wire connects to the SPEAKER OUTPUT binding post
connectors.
b. Unscrew the red and black caps on the connectors.
c. Insert the red (+) wire and black (-) wire from speakers #1 and #2 into
the hole that is revealed with the caps are unscrewed.
d. Screw the caps back down onto the wires until they are secure.
e. Repeat with the second length of wire from speakers #3 and #4
connecting to speaker output 2.
Step 6: Connecting the Speaker Wire to the 855/885 Amplifier
a.Unplug the euro-block SPEAKER OUTPUT connector from the amplifier.
b.Insert the two wires into the connector, paying close attention to
polarity (+ - - +).
c. Insert the red (+) wire and black (-) wire from the speaker into the left
side of the connector (SPEAKER OUTPUT 1). Tighten the screw on top
of the connector with small screwdriver to secure.
d.Plug the euro-block connector back into the amplifier and secure using
the two side screws.
NOTE: If connecting to CAT 885 the corresponding speaker volume
should be set in the maximum position.
Step 7: Connecting the Speaker Wire to the Amplifier
Return to the Set-up and Use section of the Product User Manual to
continue installation.
