Safety Notices

Some regional construction codes require the use of a secondary method of securing loudspeakers in ceiling to provide security of a backup support. A secondary support line should be attached from the rear of the product to a source point on the ceiling. Please consult the relevant construction codes in your region.

When using a power driver to install the product it is essential to use the correct torque level settings to avoid over tightening and damage to the ceiling material or clamps.

Wiring and Setting Up

Terminal Connections

1. WARNING: To avoid potential damage to your loudspeaker, ensure that the amplifier is switched OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting any cables.
2. Before switching the amplifier 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 baffle has to be fitted before connecting the speaker wiring. (The baffles are fitted from behind, and so the speaker wires cannot be connected while the baffles are being installed.)
4. The two screw terminals on the rear of each speaker are labeled positive (+) and negative (-). These connect respectively to the positive (+) and negative (-) output terminals of your audio power amplifier.
5. Strip off approximately 8 mm (1/4") 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.

Installation

QCI3

1. WARNING: To avoid potential damage to your loudspeaker, ensure that the amplifier 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-finder. 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 amplifier 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 baffle. The circular grille does not need a circular baffle, as it fits directly over the speaker.

1. Pull out the 3 covers from the front of the speaker which hide the clamping system.

Covers (X3) Cable-ties (X3)

1. Each clamp can move up and down in its slot by first 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.

Release Tab Release Tab UP

Cable-tie in tucked position Cable-tie pulled out

1. Follow the information on the previous pages to connect the speaker wires from your power amplifier 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.
2. Press the speaker (or speaker and square baffle assembly) into the cutout hole in the wall, making sure that the speaker wires are not trapped.
3. 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.

33QuickStart

1. CAUTION: do not cut off 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.

Covers (X3) Cable-ties (X3) tucked

1. 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.
2. Install the circular grille by pressing it over the speaker. Small magnets hold it in place.

1. Alternatively, install the square grille by pressing it over the square baffle. Small magnets in the speaker surround and the square baffle hold it in place.

Note: After installation, if the square baffle does not press flat against the drywall, insert a 12 " long screw in the oval depression in each corner of the baffle, and hand-tighten until the baffle is flat against the drywall.

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

1. To use the square speaker grille, first move the mounting clamps out of the way by undoing the four screws accessible from the front of the speaker. Remove the backing from the strips of double-sided tape, and push the speaker into the supplied square baffle.

1. If you want to use the circular speaker grille, install the supplied circular baffle instead.

1. Follow the information on the previous pages to connect the speaker wires from your power amplifier 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.
2. Make sure that the clamps are all in their rest position, then press the speaker/baffle assembly into the cutout hole in the wall, making sure that the speaker wires are not trapped.

37Quick Start

1. Tighten the four screws accessible from the front of the speaker, until all four clamps are holding the speaker in place. As the screws are tightened, the clamps rotate out of their rest position and clamp to the drywall/plasterboard.

Note: After installation, if the square baffle does not press flat against the drywall, insert a 1/2" long screw in the oval depression in each corner of the baffle, and hand-tighten until the baffle is flat against the drywall.

1. Install the square grille by pressing it into the square baffle. Small magnets hold it in place.
