SPK-C612 is designed for indoor dry locations and are suitable for use in air handling spaces (plenum spaces).
2 Getting Started
We recommend that you:
- Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging materials for possible future shipment
• Review the contents of this user manual
• Use Kramer high-performance high-resolution cables
Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).
2.1 Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
- Use only good quality connection cables (such as the Kramer BC-2S) to avoid interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)
- Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
- Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely influence signal quality
- Position your Kramer SPK-C612 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
To ensure that you obtain the best sound results, do not open the housing of the passive speaker or the active speaker.

3 Overview
The SPK-C612 consists of a pair of high performance closed back speakers. The pair can be mounted on the ceiling, as well as via a ceiling mounting kit used to safely secure the speakers to the ceiling.
The SPK-C612 speakers feature a diameter of 6.5", a resistance of 8Ω and a closed-back depth of 7". Figure 1 shows an example of how the SPK-C612 can be installed in a boardroom setup:

4 Your SPK-C612 Closed-back Ceiling Speakers
Figure 2 defines the SPK-C612:
Figure 2: SPK-C612 Closed-back Ceiling Speaker
The following table defines the SPK-C612 hardware items (per speaker pair) for each model in the series:
| Description | |||||
| A pair of ceiling speakers (one shown) |  | Two grilles (one shown) |  | Cutout template |  |
This table defines the ceiling mounting kit items:
| Four support rings screws |  | Two ceiling support rings (C-ring) – one shown |  | Two pairs of tile rails – one of a pair shown |  |
Each Closed-back Ceiling speaker is supported by a C-ring and two tile rails. The tile rails prevent the speakers from falling if the tile itself comes out or falls apart, as their ends catch onto the T-grid. When mounting onto the ceiling tiles, use both supports. When mounting onto a sheetrock ceiling, the C-ring alone is used to reinforce the ceiling material.
Be sure that the tiles can support the speaker. Smaller sized tiles or fiberglass-type tiles cannot support the weight of the speakers. When this is the case, the speakers will need additional support.
Figure 3 shows a schematic diagram of the SPK-C612:
Figure 3: SPK-C612 Schematic Diagram
5 Installing the SPK-C612 Closed-back Ceiling Speakers
This section explains how to install the SPK-C612, that is:
- Choosing the best place to locate your speakers (see Section 5.1)
• Cutting the ceiling tile (see Section 5.2) - Mounting the Speakers (see Section 5.3)
• Painting the speakers (see Section 5.4)
5.1 Choosing the Best Location
Ideally, locate the speakers above the main listening area. Before doing so, be sure that:
- The desired location is free of obstructions, such as electrical piping, AC ducts or water lines, and so on
• There is enough space behind the mounting surface for the speakers - The rear side of the speaker is not blocked by wall studs or other objects
5.2 Cutting the Ceiling Tile
To cut the ceiling tile, do the following:
- Remove the circle in the supplied template.
Keep this template for later use as a mask, as you may want to paint the speakers (see Section 5.4) - Mark the opening in the correct location by tracing the hole in the template.
- Cut out the hole according to the template or with a circular cutter set to the appropriate cutout size.
Initially, you can cut a smaller area inside the marked hole just to be sure that the space above the speakers is clear - Route the wiring from the amplifier to the speakers' cutout holes, taking care not to place them next to electrical wires or at least at a distance of about two feet from an AC line.
Do not nail or staple the speaker wires.
If you are mounting the speakers onto a ceiling tile, remove the ceiling tiles where you plan to install the speakers. Use the template to trace and then cutout the speaker hole over an empty box.
The closed-back ceiling speakers are supported by the ceiling mounting kit (two C-rings and two pairs of tile rails; the tile rails prevent the speakers from falling if the tile itself comes out or falls apart, as their ends catch onto the T-grid). When mounting onto the ceiling tiles, use both supports.
Be sure that the tiles can support the speaker. Smaller sized tiles or fiberglass-type tiles cannot support the weight of the speakers. When this is the case, the speakers will need additional support.
When mounting onto a sheetrock ceiling, the C-ring alone is used to reinforce the ceiling material.
5.3 Mounting the Speakers
To mount the SPK-C612, do the following:
- Place the C-ring over the hole cut in the ceiling tile (on the "ceiling" side). Place it around the hole so that the tabs are located in parallel to the tile edges.
Figure 4: Mounting the SPK-C612
- Place the tile rails on the tile and snap them into the two tabs on the C-ring. Align the rails so that the ends extend over the T-channel grid.
- Insert a screw through each tab on the C-ring to secure the rails.
- Connect the speaker wires to the appropriate connector terminals:
■ PIN 1 and PIN 2 are connected internally and are positive (+)
■ PIN 3 and PIN 4 are connected internally and are negative (-)
Screw the hold-down screws on the connector until tight, using a small screwdriver.
You can connect the speakers in the two following possible layouts:
- Wiring in parallel: connect the wire pair of the subsequent speaker to PIN 2 and PIN 3. When one input connector is removed, subsequent speakers will remain connected (see Figure 3)
-
Daisy-chaining: connect the wire pair of the subsequent speaker to PIN 1 and PIN 4. When one input connector is removed, subsequent speakers will be disconnected (see Figure 3)
-
Plug the connector into the socket in the terminal cup of the speaker (see Figure 5).
-
Run the wires through the wires' opening in the input terminal cover plug and then into the terminal block connector of the speaker.
Figure 5: Plugging and Securing the Cable
-
Push the speaker into the ceiling hole until the front baffle rim is leveled with the ceiling.
-
Tighten the mounting tabs by turning the screw counter clockwise (see Figure 6).
The first quarter turn, rotates the tab outwards, and the following turns tighten the tabs to the rear side of the ceiling surface
When tightening the mounting tabs, the tabs automatically turn outward, thus clamping the speaker to the wall from its rear side.
Note: Do not over-tighten the screws. It may cause damage to both the speakers and the surface.

-
If required, you can further secure the speaker by connecting the speaker support ring to an independent secure anchor point.
-
Adjust each speaker to the appropriate tap setting before installing the grille (see Figure 7).
Figure 7: Adjust Tap Selector
11. Install the grilles to the speakers:
■ Push the grille fastener into the hole in front of the baffle
- Press the grille into place until the front of the grille is flush with the rim of the baffle
- Check that the grille is securely seated
To remove the grille, insert two bent paper clips into the holes in the grille and carefully pull it down. Repeat this around the perimeter of the grille until it is completely removed.
5.4 Painting the Speaker
You can paint the speakers before or after they are installed.
When painting before installation:
- Clean the rim and grille with mineral spirits or other light solvent that is unlikely to damage the surface
- Spray with color by holding the spray can at an angle of 45^
When spraying the grille, take care not to clog the holes in the grille as this will greatly reduce the sound quality of the speakers.
When painting after installation:
• Use the circle that you cut out of the template as a paint mask
• After you finish painting, remove the paint mask
