INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: BEFORE COMMENCING ANY ELECTRICAL WORK ENSURE
THE SUPPLY IS SWITCHED OFF AT THE MAINS. IF YOU ARE UNSURE HOW TO
FIT SEEK HELP FROM A PROFESSIONAL ELECTRICIAN / AV INSTALLER
1. Mark out the position of the speaker using a
tape measure and mark using a pencil with the
template supplied. Check using a stud  nder to
make sure no obstruction is present prior to
cutting.
3. Connect the power lead from the
transformer (supplied) to a 13A mains plug
socket or terminate to a dedicated 3A fused spur.
Ensure the power lead is not overstretched.
2. Drill a pilot hole and cut the speaker hole
using a cutting saw. Take caution when
cutting to keep fi ngers away from cutting
blade and wear protective eyewear.
4. Insert speaker into the ceiling then using a
screwdriver lock the 4 dog leg  xings to secure
the speaker in place, do not over tighten.
Attach the magnetic grille to the speaker front.
PAINTING THE SPEAKER GRILLE
Do not paint the speaker grilles whilst attached to the speaker. Lithe Audio reccomends spray
painting using 5 parts thinning agent to 1 part paint. Spray thinly to ensure speaker cover grille holes
are not blocked as this will effect the sound quality of the speakers.
INSTALLATIONS IN FIRE-RATED CEILINGS
