Bogen MB8TSL, MB8TSQ Service Manual

Installation Instructions

1. Determine where the speaker(s) will be mounted. Ensure power is not connected to speaker wires prior to installation.

Follow all local safety and building codes and route speaker wires to desired wall or ceiling location.Pull approximately 12" of wire

through opening in mounting surface.

2. Pull speaker wire through the back of the large opening of the speaker enclosure. Using the supplied mounting hardware, secure

the enclosure to the mounting surface. Note that two toggle bolt/screws (for sheet rock surfaces) and two wood screws (for

securing to solid wood/beams) have been included. Utilize the two washers (supplied) as shown in Figure 1 with either toggle bolts,

wood screws, or other user supplied hardware.

For Surface Mounting to Walls and Ceilings

Use two of the enclosure mounting holes as a template (diagonally opposed), and mark screw hole locations. If toggle bolts will be

used, drill two, 1/2" diameter holes

in the mounting surface, otherwise drill a hole appropriate for hardware being used.

3. Attach the speaker wires to the appropriate transformer tap

wires (See Figure 2 and chart below).

Connect the desired power tap wire (use supplied crimp-type connector) to the (+) side of the paging system.

Connect the (-) side of the paging system (use supplied crimptype connector) to the black common lead.

The speaker will also work perfectly well with these connections reversed.However, it is important to be consistent in the wiring of the speakers in the system. If adjacent speakers have reversed wiring connections, they will tend to cancel each other’s bass response, diminishing the sound quality.

4. Individually clip each tip of exposed wire on the unused power

taps and place them neatly around the speaker housing.This will ensure that unused tap leads will not cause shorting problems.

5. Secure the speaker/faceplate assembly to the mounted

enclosure. Use four 1" screws (included). See Figure 3.

6. Speaker volume can be attenuated via front panel recessed volume control (VR versions only).
