Califone CS308 Manual De Usuario

Before installing your speaker, make sure that you have a thorough 

understanding of local building and fire codes. Improper installation can 

cause serious injury. Use only industry approved mounting methods and 

hardware.

 

Califone cannot be held responsible for improper installation or 

subsequent damage. 

For stereo music listening, it’s best to position the speakers in the ceiling 

or wall, slightly in front of the listening area, rather than directly overhead.

For surround sound systems, locate the front channels (left, right and 

center) in the ceiling or wall toward the front of the listening area. Locate 

the rear (left and right) speakers slightly behind the main listening area.

Once you have selected a location for your speaker, remove the inner cardboard 

disk from the included paint mask and use it as a template to trace the cutout 

area. 

If you choose to paint  the speaker frame and grille, use the included cardboard 

paint mask to protect the speaker. Paint and allow to dry before installing.

Use the enclosed grille remover tool, or insert paper clip into one of the grille 

holes and pull up. Alternatively, carefully twist (flex) the plastic outer frame back 

and forth to expose the edges of the grille, then lift to remove.

The acoustic tiles of a drop ceiling are typically not dense or sturdy enough to 

support the weight of the speaker. For installation in a drop ceiling, use of the 

CS308-MNT mounting bracket is required for safety. 

The mounting bracket kit is designed to fit a standard drop ceiling with 24” x 24” or 

24” x 48” panels. The 24” cross braces fit directly over the drop ceiling’s tile frame. 

Please note that the speaker can be installed in ceiling tiles with a maximum 

thickness of 1.25 inches.

Remove the ceiling tile from the frame and carefully measure the position for the 

speaker cutout, using the template to trace the cutout area. Make certain to 

position the assembly directly over the desired cutout location.

Attach both sides of the Circular Speaker Bracket to the Bridge Brackets using the 

included screws and nuts.
