Frequently Asked Questions - SAROS ICE6T-B-T-EACH Crestron

How do I set the transformer tap on the SAROS ICE6T?

Use a screwdriver to adjust the recessed rotary switch located on the front baffle behind the grille. Select the desired tap (3.75W, 7.5W, 15W, or 30W at 70V; 7.5W, 15W, or 30W at 100V) or the 8 Ohm bypass position.

Can the speaker be painted?

Yes, the grille and baffle are paintable. Make sure to mask the driver and other components before painting to avoid affecting performance.

What is the recommended cutout size for installation?

The recommended cutout diameter is 9.7 inches (245 mm). The minimum mounting depth is 8.1 inches (206 mm).

Is the grille removable and how is it attached?

Yes, the grille is magnetically held and can be removed without tools. A safety tether prevents it from falling.

What is the warranty coverage for the SAROS ICE6T?

Crestron offers a lifetime warranty against defects in material and workmanship for this speaker, except for the grille and outdoor rated models which have a five-year warranty.

Can this speaker be used in outdoor or damp locations?

No, the SAROS ICE6T is designed for indoor use only. It is rated for installation in environmental air-handling (plenum) spaces, but not for outdoor or wet locations.

What is the difference between the SAROS ICE6T and the SAROS IC6T?

The ICE6T is the 'Express' version, offering similar performance at a lower cost with a slightly different design and no back can? Actually both have back cans. The main difference is that the ICE6T has a built-in multi-tap transformer for 70/100V systems, while the IC6T may have different options. Check specific model details.

How many speakers can I daisy-chain?

The terminal block allows parallel pass-through wiring. The number of speakers depends on the amplifier's load and the transformer tap setting. For 8 Ohm operation, ensure total impedance does not drop below 4 Ohms for most amplifiers.

Does the speaker include a tile bridge?

Yes, a tile bridge is included for installation in drop-tile ceilings. It is adjustable and can be folded for blind-mount situations.

Can I use this speaker with a standard 8 Ohm amplifier without the transformer?

Yes, set the rotary switch to the '8Ω' position to bypass the transformer. The speaker then operates at 8 Ohms with a program power handling of 60 Watts.

Saros® Express speakers by Crestron® deliver easy installation and excellent performance in a range of popular sizes for cost-sensitive commercial applications. Ideal for use in background music, paging, and sound reinforcement systems, Saros Express speakers are engineered to achieve full, even coverage and clear sound quality at a very affordable cost.

The Saros Express ICE6T model is a 2-way in-ceiling speaker featuring a 6-1/2 inch woofer and wide-dispersion, horn-loaded 1 inch dome tweeter. A built-in 30 Watt multi-tap transformer allows for use with 70 and 100 Volt distributed speaker systems. Power handling at 8 Ohms is 60 Watts (program), with a frequency response from 75 Hz to 20 kHz ±3 dB).

Like its more expensive sibling, the Saros IC6T, the Saros Express ICE6T is smartly designed for quick and easy installation and reliable performance. Its “zero-bezel” frameless grille achieves an unobtrusive and contemporary appearance well-suited for use in restaurants and night clubs, retail spaces, houses of worship, convention facilities, universities, and office buildings. Installing the grille requires no hardware or tools, utilizing powerful magnets to hold it in place. A safety tether is included to prevent the grille from ever falling from the ceiling.

Unitized construction of the speaker enclosure simplifies specification and installation for use in new and existing ceilings. Mounting the speaker is facilitated using rugged, 2-step toggle clamps integrated into the enclosure. Each toggle clamp offers two positions to accommodate standard and extra thick surfaces up to 2.4 inches (61 mm). A tile bridge is included to provide proper support when installed in a typical drop-tile ceiling. The tile bridge is adjustable to enable off-center speaker positioning, and can be folded to fit through the speaker cutout in blind-mount situations. Two rigging points are also provided on the top of the speaker enclosure for securing to the building structure using the optional safety tether kit (SPKA-ST-15 ^[1] ).

An integral metal back can is employed to meet the requirements for installation in an environmental air-handling (plenum) space. The wiring connection is accessible behind a rear cover panel by removing a single screw. Top and side knockouts are provided on the cover panel to accommodate 1/2" or 3/4" flexible conduit. A cable clamp is also provided. Connecting the wiring behind the cover panel is facilitated using a detachable screw terminal block with provisions for easy parallel wiring in a multi-speaker application. Setting the 70/100V transformer tap is performed via a screwdriver-adjustable control located on the front baffle behind the grille.

Saros Express ICE6T speakers are available in white or black, and can be painted to blend with the ceiling surface. They are priced individually, but must be ordered in pairs.
