Frequently Asked Questions - IC SB10 Ecler

What is the maximum power of the IC SB10 speaker?

The nominal power is 100 W RMS under 8 Ω. On 100 V line, available taps are 7.5 / 15 / 30 / 60 W.

Can I use the IC SB10 in standard low impedance?

Yes, the switch allows choosing between low impedance (8 Ω) and 100 V / 70 V line. Make sure to select the correct mode to avoid any damage.

How to paint the speaker to match the ceiling?

Remove the grille using the hook, place the internal disc on the cone to protect it, then separately paint the grille and the enclosure with an air-drying paint. Allow to dry before reassembling.

What hole diameter do I need to drill to install the IC SB10?

The cut-out diameter is 307 mm. Use the provided template to mark the exact location.

Can I use the speaker on a 70 V system?

Yes, the built-in transformer allows use on 70 V line with taps of 3.75 / 7.5 / 15 / 30 W. Select the desired power using the switch.

How to fix the speaker to the ceiling?

Insert the speaker into the hole, then tighten the 4 front screws to activate the rotating tabs. For suspended ceilings, use the metal ring and the supplied fixing bridges for added rigidity.

Does the speaker produce vibrations?

Yes, given its efficiency, vibrations may be transmitted to the ceiling. It is recommended to use damping materials such as neoprene under the fixing points.

What type of cable to use for connection?

The terminals are clamp-type for stripped cable. Use an audio cable of suitable gauge for the power and distance.

What to do if I accidentally select the wrong impedance?

If you connect 8 Ω to a 100 V line, the speaker can be seriously damaged. On the other hand, connecting a low impedance line in 100 V mode will not cause damage but will reduce performance. Always check the setting before powering on.

Where can I find spare parts or get the speaker repaired?

Contact the authorized Ecler technical service. The manual recommends entrusting any maintenance to a professional. Parts are available from the manufacturer.

USER MANUAL IC SB10 Ecler

Congratulations! You are the owner of a carefully designed and manufactured equipment. Thank you for choosing our IC SB10 model inceiling subwoofer.

In order to get the optimum operation and efficiency from this unit, it is VERY IMPORTANT - before you plug anything - to read this manual very carefully and bear in mind all considerations specified within it. We strongly recommend that its maintenance be carried out by our Authorized Technical services.

2. WARNINGS

Never use this unit in the proximity of water. Do not expose the unit to water splashing, nor place liquid containers on top of it.

Avoid placing the unit next to heat sources such as spotlights or heaters.

Use only the accessories specified by the manufacturer, employing the correct accessories for each application.

3. INTRODUCTION

The IC SB10 model incorporates carefully selected components in an easy-to-use design that is quick and reliable to install. It also provides excellent bass sound quality thanks to our infinite baffle philosophy and a top-performance transducer.

The IC SB10 has a built-in transformer, making it extremely versatile and easy to use both in applications with low impedance and in applications running at 100V/70V. All you have to do is shift the position of the built-in selector switch.

The technical specifications of the IC SB10 include:

• 10" inceiling woofer
  • Power: 100W RMS @ 8Ω
• Sensitivity (1W/1m): 96 dB SPL
  • Built-in transformer: 7.5 / 15 / 30 / 60 W @100V
  3.75 / 7.5 / 15 / 30W @70V
• Internal Low Pass Filter: fc = 150Hz
  • External diameter: 335mm
  • Cut-out diameter: 307mm
• Installation system: four points fixed with a revolving fastener. Accessories included.

4. CONNECTIONS

The connection terminals are of spring clamp type for peeled cable. Once they are connected, all you have to do is choose the unit's power and mode of operation using a simple screwdriver. Always pay attention to the polarity.

The IC SB10 is delivered with the switch in the 100V/70V position. If you accidentally hook it up to a low-impedance system, no damage will be done to the speaker, but it will perform far under its real capabilities. If you accidentally connect the speaker to a 100V/70V network in the 8Ω position, serious damage will be caused to the speaker.

It is easy to install the IC SB10 with the four revolving fasteners incorporated. For more information on how to install the IC SB10, please see section 5 of this manual.

5. LOCATION AND ASSEMBLY

To install this product correctly, you must be prepared to cut circular holes where you would like to place the speakers and have the wiring necessary for each unit.

In order to install the speakers correctly:

1. Remove the protective grating from the speaker using the hook provided in the packaging.
2. Cut a circular hole in the false ceiling.

A template for cutting/painting is included with each unit to simplify this process. Once the unit is separated into two parts, the outside part can be used as a template to make the hole in the ceiling, and the inner disk can be used to protect the speaker cone if you would like to paint the plastic another colour.

1. Use the clamps to connect the unit to the wiring of the system where the speaker is being installed.
2. Place the speaker in the newly cut hole. Hold it in place with your hand and push it into place, all the while making sure that the 4 revolving fasteners are drawn back.
3. Press each of the 4 screws that are accessible from the front side of the speaker. The speaker is now fixed in its final position.
4. Reattach the protective grille.

Each IC SB10 speaker comes with a set of accessories that make it easy to install in drop ceilings, resulting in an installation that is even more solid and reliable.

• A C-shaped metal ring.

• Two brackets especially designed for use in 600mm ceiling grids.

• Insert the ring in the hole previously drilled in the ceiling according to the procedure described on the preceding page.

• Place the ring in the hole as illustrated. It is important that the tabs on the side of the ring are placed exactly as shown.
• Insert the brackets into the hole, fix them in place on the tabs on the side of the metal ring and line them up so that both V-shaped ends rest on the ceiling's existing grid.
• Use the screws provided to attach the brackets to the ring.

The metal ring can also be use for non-drop ceilings, being as it distributes the weight uniformly across the contact surface.

N.B.: The high performance of the IC SB10 speaker can result in substantial vibrations, which may be transmitted to the existing materials and structures of the ceiling where it is installed. Depending on the materials and structures in place, we recommend using shock absorbing materials, such as neoprene, to eliminate undesired vibrations.

6. PAINTING

The IC SB10 is designed to be painted, meaning it can be installed anywhere, regardless of the design and look of the place where it will be used.

Follow these instructions to paint the speaker:

1. Remove the protective grating from the speaker using the hook provided in the packaging.
2. Once the cut/paint template has been separated into two parts, use the inside disk to protect the speaker cone. Place it tight on the cone. The points still on disk after it has been separated help to fix it tight into place. The outside part of the template can be put

on the back part of the speaker, lining it up with the plastic circle, to protect the back part from splattering if you are using spray paint.

1. Paint the protective grating and the speaker separately. Make sure that the small holes in the grating are not blocked by paint. Use an appropriate air drying paint.

2. When the paint is dry, remove the protectors. The unit is ready to be installed.
