PLEASE NOTE: This mounting method requires 
the diaphragm front surface to be factory-routed in 
order to drop below the ceiling grid. If the supplied 
SpeakerTiles have not been routed, this installation 
method cannot be used.
1. Remove the four tegular brackets attached to the sides 
of the SpeakerTile frame. See
 Figure 1 on page 2.
2. If not previously done, run speaker wires or conduit (as 
per local Building Code requirements) into the selected 
mounting location. Fasten and seal as required. Connect 
the speaker wires to the correct (+) and  (– ) SpeakerTile 
terminals and select the required power tap. Insure that 
all connections and wiring runs are in compliance with 
required codes and regulations.
IMPORTANT: To avoid any noise or damage to the 
system when in operation be sure speaker wires or 
other objects are not in contact with the back of the 
SpeakerTile surface. To avoid damage to the front
