1. WARNING: To avoid potential damage to your loudspeaker, ensure that the amplier is switched OFF prior to

connecting or disconnecting any cables.

2. Before switching the amplier ON, double check that all connections are secure and that the polarity is correct.

3. Note: For each speaker in this series, the correct square or circular bae has to be tted before connecting the

speaker wiring. (The baes are tted from behind, and so the speaker wires cannot be connected while the baes are being installed.)

4. The two screw terminals on the rear of each speaker are labled positive (+) and negative (-). These connect

respectively to the positive (+) and negative (-) output terminals of your audio power amplier.

5. Strip o approximately 8 mm (¼") of the outer protective layer of one conductor and twist its inner cores

together to prevent shorting from stray wires. Insert the core into the screw terminal while ensuring that correct polarity is maintained. Repeat this for both speaker wires. Tighten the two screws to make a secure connection.

6. The screw terminals for the QCI3 and QCI 8DC are located on the rear of each speaker. The screw terminals for the

PCI 8DC are located on the speaker frame. The PCI 8DC frame can be preinstalled and wired up, and the speaker assembly added at a later stage. QCI3 Terminals QCI 8DC Terminals PCI 8DC Terminals Installation QCI3

1. WARNING: To avoid potential damage to your loudspeaker, ensure that the amplier is switched OFF prior to

connecting or disconnecting any cables.

2. The procedure below describes the installation of the QCI3 speaker into a typical stud ceiling or wall with

drywall/plasterboard.

3. Locate a suitable mounting position for the speaker, using a stud-nder.

WARNING: Make sure that there are no power lines, other cables, or plumbing such as water, sewer, gas lines in

the chosen cutout location. Also make sure that the location is far enough from the closest wall stud so that the clamping mechanism can operate without interference.

4. Carefully mark and cutout a 117 mm (4.6") diameter hole in the drywall/plasterboard, and remove any debris.

5. Run the speaker wire from your amplier to this location, leaving enough slack to allow for the connection.

6. To use the square speaker grille, push the speaker into the supplied square bae.

The circular grille does not need a circular bae, as it ts directly over the speaker. Square Bae 31Quick Start Guide 30 QCI 3/QCI 8DC/PCI 8DC7. Pull out the 3 covers from the front of the speaker which hide the clamping system.

8. Each clamp can move up and down in its slot by rst pulling out the “cable-ties” from their tucked (stowed) position,

and releasing the tab. With the tab held, move each clamp backwards down the slot as far as it will go, so the clamps will be at the rear of the can, and inside the diameter of the cutout hole.

9. Follow the information on the previous pages to connect the speaker wires from your power amplier to the

speaker terminals. Make sure to check that the polarity is correct and that the positive and negative wires are securely and correctly connected.

10. Press the speaker (or speaker and square bae assembly) into the cutout hole in the wall, making sure that the

speaker wires are not trapped.

11. Pull the clamp cable-ties forward as far as they will go. This will move the clamps forward and secure the

speaker to the wall. Covers (X3) Cable-ties (X3) Release Tab Release Tab UP Cable-tie in tucked position Cable-tie pulled out

12. CAUTION: do not cut o the excess cable-tie length, or the clamps can no longer be reused. Instead, tuck the excess

length back into the slots and then re-install the three covers. 13. To remove the speaker at any time, remove the three covers, pull the cable-ties out of their tucked position, and then press the tabs, and this will allow you to pull the speaker forwards and out of the hole.

14. Install the circular grille by pressing it over the speaker. Small magnets hold it in place.

4. Use the supplied cutout template as a guide, and cut out a circular hole in the drywall/plasterboard. Remove any

debris from the hole. Use a suitable adhesive in the local area inside the hole to seal the drywall to the studs and joists, to prevent ceiling buzzing.

5. Run the speaker wire from your amplier to this location, leaving enough slack to allow for the connection.
