Using a Safety Cable

Some regional construction codes require the use of a secondary method of securing loudspeakers to support structures to provide additional safety. Choose a mounting position, method, and hardware consistent with local building codes and regulations.

Bose recommends using (1) a safety wire as a secondary securing mechanism. See the diagram below for safety attachment points.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions for any secondary securing mechanism implemented.

Installing a Tile Bridge in Acoustic Ceiling Tile

Cutting the Ceiling Tile

1. Remove the tile and use the template included with your loudspeaker to trace a loudspeaker hole onto the tile. To center the template on the tile, draw an X by connecting the corners diagonally and center the template using the crossing point.
2. Cut a hole into the tile.

Installing the Tile Bridge

1. Place the assembled tile bridge across the ceiling grid. If necessary, adjust the tile bridge so the rails rest on the ceiling grid.
2. Replace the tile in the ceiling.

For instructions on loudspeaker installation, see the Mounting the Loudspeaker section in the appropriate loudspeaker installation guide.
