Proficient Protege CC625TT User manual
Before installing your Single Stereo Ceiling Speaker, you
should consider its placement carefully, taking into account
the location of electrical, plumbing and other xtures. Contact
your Dealer for assistance if you are unsure of the best location
for your particular listening environment.
Placement In Ceiling: When placing your speaker into the
ceiling, it should ideally be located above the primary
listening area.
If the speaker is positioned far away from the primary
listening area, simply adjust the pivoting tweeters so they are
pointed towards it. Note: To avoid possible damage to the pivot-
ing tweeters, read the section entitled “SPEAKER ADJUSTMENTS”
in this manual prior to performing the tweeter adjustment.
In a very large room with high ceilings, it may be necessary to
place additional speakers throughout the room. Contact your
Procient Audio Systems Dealer for assistance.
New Construction - Unnished Ceilings
A Pre-Construction Bracket, available from your Dealer, may
be installed prior to drywall application across joists (up to
24" on-center) where a speaker will be located. After the hole
is cut and the drywall is installed, the speaker is then easily
installed following the instructions for mounting in “Finished
Ceilings” below. Note: If the speaker is to be mounted more than
24" on-center, a special “Extra Long Wing” is available from
your Dealer.
Finished Ceilings
Prior to the actual installation of the speaker, it will be neces-
sary to run cables to the speaker location. See your Dealer for
more information about cable installation. After the cable has
been properly installed, you are ready to mount the speaker.
Following the simple steps listed below will result in a profes-
sional looking installation:
1. Determine the best area to mount your speaker. This area
of the ceiling should be free of obstructions such as electri-
cal conduit, HVAC ducts, or water lines. This can best be
determined by noting the placement of xtures and gaining
access to an attic or crawl space for further analysis of the
location of such obstacles.
2. Find the joists nearest the desired speaker mounting
location. We highly recommend using a good stud-nder
tool for this procedure. If you are lining up the speaker to
some other object or molding in the room, make sure you
consider the size of the bae, which extends beyond the
mounting hole.
3. Mark the hole. A template for setting the hole is provided in
the box. Position the template in the desired position and
pencil an outline on the ceiling.
4. Cutting the hole. CAUTION: This is the most important part
of the entire installation. If you are not certain whether any
obstructions exist behind the desired mounting area, you
should start by cutting a small hole in the center of your
penciled mounting hole with a drywall saw, cutting at a 45°
angle towards the inside of the hole. (See Diagram 1) Cutting
the small hole at this angle will make drywall repair much
easier, using the piece cut out. Once you have determined
that there aren’t any obstructions in your desired mounting
location, start cutting the nished hole at a 90° angle to the
ceiling surface.
5. Add insulation. If the area in the ceiling is not already
insulated, add an adequate amount of insulation material to
loosely cover the back of the speaker. If the insulation mate-
rial used is faced with foil or paper, position the foil or paper
away from the speaker.
CAUTION: Speaker components can get hot while playing
music at moderate to high volume levels. There should be
nothing at all touching the speaker. Material in proximity to
the back of the speaker must have at a minimum 1" or 26mm
clearance for non-ammable materials and more for am-
mable materials like plastic vapor barriers.

SPEAKER INSTALLATION
Speaker
The Single Stereo Ceiling Speaker comes from the factory with
the tweeter facing straight out from the bae. This will result
in the overall smoothest response. However, depending on
your particular primary listening area, room acoustics, ceiling
height, or personal preference, you may nd the sound more
pleasing by pointing the tweeters in a particular direction. If
additional treble is desired in the primary listening area, point
the tweeter towards that area; and if less treble is required,
point the tweeter away. Push gently at the edge of the tweeter
to point it in the desired direction. (See Diagram 3)
NOTE: The tweeters on the C625TT do not pivot.
CAUTION: Avoid touching metal dome tweeters, as damage
may occur (C825TT).
Tweeter Adjustment (C825TT):
The switch labeled TREBLE allows for 3dB of treble adjustment.
Your speakers were shipped with the treble switch in the “–”
position, providing the most linear frequency response. If you
desire more treble, move the switch to the “+” position, and the
tweeter will play 3dB higher. To return to the neutral setting,
push the switch back to the “–” position. (See Diagram 4)
Woofer Adjustment (C825TT):
The switch labeled BASS allows for 3dB of bass adjustment.
Your speakers were shipped with the bass set to “–”. This set-
ting provides the attest bass frequency response. If you desire
more bass, push the switch to the “+” position and the bass
will play 3dB higher. To return to the neutral setting, push the
switch back to the “–” position. (See Diagram 4)

The unique integral four-foot mounting system incorporated into each
Single Stereo Ceiling Speaker allows for a quick installation by following
these easy steps:
1. Remove the grille from the speaker baffle.
2. Attach the speaker cable (observing the proper polarity with your
amplier, + to + and – to –). Either channel may be attached to either
terminal set, however, be sure that polarity (+ and -) is correct on each
channel or the performance of the speaker will be seriously aected, as
one channel will cancel out the other. (See Diagram 2)
3. Make sure the mounting feet are turned inward to clear the open-
ing, and insert the speaker into the ceiling. Position the speaker into
the hole. Note: The speaker is designed to ex and conform to any small
imperfections in the ceiling’s surface.
Tighten the four screws on the front of the bae only enough to make
the speaker become snug against the ceiling. As you tighten the screws,
the feet will automatically ip into an outward position (See Diagram 3),
thereby clamping the drywall between the feet and the speaker.
CAUTION: Over-tightening may warp the bae, crack the ceiling or
cause diculty in aligning the grille.
4. Reattach the grille onto the speaker bae.
Features and specications are subject to change without notice.

We recommend painting your grille prior to installation. If you
decide to paint it in the future, it's best to remove the grille by
simply detaching it from the speaker. Do not paint the grille
while it's installed on the speaker.
Before painting, be sure to remove the cloth material from
beneath the grille. Once painted, place the cloth back to its
position beneath the grille.
When painting, be careful not to clog the holes of the grille.
The sound of the speaker will be dramatically reduced if the
perforations in the grille are covered in paint.
Procient recommends only light spray painting using ve
parts thinning agent to one part paint.
