Safety

Warning!

Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals

who have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and regulations of suspending objects

overhead. Bosch strongly recommends all loudspeakers be suspended taking into account all

current national, federal, state, and local laws and regulations. It is the responsibility of the

installer to ensure all loudspeakers are safely installed in accordance with all such

requirements. When loudspeakers are suspended, Bosch strongly recommends the system be

inspected at least once per year or as laws and regulations require. If any sign of weakness or

damage is detected, remedial action should be taken immediately. The user is responsible for

making sure the wall, ceiling, or structure is capable of supporting all objects suspended

overhead. Any hardware used to suspend a loudspeaker not associated with Bosch is the

responsibility of others.

Suspension Cable Important Safety Instructions:

Load - Do not exceed the WLL (Working Load Limit) of the pendant suspension cable.

The WLL of the pendant suspension cable is 10 kg (22 lb).

No lifting - Do not use for lifting, such as in a crane or pulley situation.

No movement - The pendent suspension cable is to be used to suspend static loads only. Do

not use the cable to suspend moving objects or objects likely to be subject to
movement.

No joining - Do not splice together the pendent suspension cable with another cable or

other joining device. The pendent suspension cable as supplied is the maximum
length available and should not be altered in any way.

Not for re-use - Do not re-use the pendent suspension cable; it is designed for permanent fixed

installation use only.

Lubricants - Do not apply oil or any other lubricant to any part of the assembly.

Round duct/pipes - When wrapping around duct or other round pipes, do not exceed an angle of 60

degrees between the top of the pipe and the pendent suspension cable.

I-Beams - Minimum radius on I-Beams to be no less than 1/8-inch.

Corners/edges - Cables in contact with corners, edges, protrusions, or abrasive surfaces shall

be protected with a material of sufficient strength, thickness, and construction
to prevent damage.

Old electrical and electronic appliances

Electrical or electronic devices that are no longer serviceable must be collected separately and
sent for environmentally compatible recycling (in accordance with the European Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive).
To dispose of old electrical or electronic devices, you should use the return and collection
systems put in place in the country concerned.

Welcome

Thank you for purchasing the LP6-S-L Pendant Mount Satellite Speaker. Read through this
manual to familiarize yourself with the features, applications, and precautions before you use
these products.

The LP6-S-L Pendant Mount Satellite Speaker is a companion speaker option to the Compact
Sound Speaker System offering from Bosch . It provides a convenient way to equip open
ceiling spaces with sound where conventional surface or ceiling mount speakers cannot be
used. The 2-inch (50 mm) transducer provides matched performance to the other Compact
Sound Satellite speaker models. The unit comes complete with a UL rated mounting cable and
can be used in any combination with the Compact Sound ceiling or surface mount subwoofers
and satellite speaker models. It’s ideal for use in a wide variety of environments and spaces to
provide high quality background or foreground music.

System features

– 2-inch full-range transducer—acoustically matched to ceiling and surface-mount satellite

versions.
– Attractive compact design.
– Concealed wire connection with pass-thru Phoenix plug for easy wiring.
– UL-rated quick-mount pendant cable included.
– Available in white finish.

Pendant suspension cable

The pendant suspension cable is supplied with the LP6-S-L kit. The material is strong steel
wire rope. It is designed with a locking spring mechanism which secures the wire rope and
allows for easy adjustment of the installation height, up to 15 ft (4.57 m).

Working Load Limit

The pendant suspension cable’s WLL is based on the suspension being hung vertically. If the
cable is suspended at an angle, a second suspension cable is required.

Caution!

Do not hang the pendant suspension cable at an angle in excess of 60° from vertical.

Wiring

Wiring the pendant speaker is recommended before installation. Carefully observe the wire
markings or tracers on your speaker wires. Verify the amplifier (+) terminal is connected to the
red speaker terminals and the amplifier (-) terminal is connected to the black speaker
terminals.
To wire the pendant speaker, do the following:

1. Install the wire through the grommet in the wire cap.

2. On the phoenix connector, insert one (1) wire into the positive (+) port.

3. On the phoenix connector, insert one (1) wire into the negative (-) port.

4. Using a screw driver, tighten the two (2) screws to secure the wires.

5. Insert the phoenix connector into the connector socket in the speaker base.

6. Place the wire cap onto the speaker base.

Ensure the main suspension tab is aligned.

7. Tighten the three (3) screws on the wire cap.

Installation

Wiring the pendant is recommended before installation. For more information, see Wiring,
page 9.

To install the pendant speaker, do the following:

1. Thread the cable into the coupler.

2. Adjust the pendant suspension cable length.

3. Place the pendant suspension cable over the ceiling support.

4. Thread the cable into the opposite side of the coupler.

5. Once the proper height adjustment has been made, put the cable tail through the

through hole of the coupler, and leave at least 10 cm (4 in) of length.

6. Tighten the screw to secure the cable.

7. Support the speaker, snap the support hanger onto the main suspension tab (center)

located on the top of the speaker.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Causes Action

No Sound Amplifier Connect a known working test speaker to the amplifier outputs. If

there is no sound, check all electronics are on, the signal routing is
correct, the source is active; the volume is turned up, and so on.
Correct/Repair/Replace as necessary. If there is sound, the problem is
in the wiring.

Wiring Verify you have connected the correct wire pairs to the amplifier. Play

something at low level through the amplifier (for example, from a CD
player or tuner). Connect the test speaker in parallel with the
malfunctioning line. If the sound has gone or is very weak, the line has
a short in it (possibly a severe scrape, pinch, or staple puncture). If
the sound level is normal the wire is open (possibly a cut wire or
missed connection). Using the test speaker, move down the line and
test each connection/junction until you find the problem and correct
it. Observe proper polarity.

Verify you have the inputs and outputs connected to the correct wires.
If the subwoofer input panel is not correctly wired, there will be little
or no sound. Observe proper polarity.

Poor Low­Frequency
Response

Intermittent
Output such as,
Crackling or
Distortion

Constant Noise
such as Buzzing,
Hissing, Humming

Speakers Wired Out­of-Polarity

When two (2) speakers are connected out of polarity (out of phase),
the low frequencies will cancel each other acoustically. Carefully
observe the wire markings or tracers on your speaker wires. Verify the
amplifier (+) terminal is connected to the red speaker terminals and
the amplifier (-) terminal is connected to the black speaker terminals.

Improperly Wired
Subwoofer Panel

Using a test speaker as described above, verify all amplifier and
speaker wires are connected to their proper terminals with the correct
polarity. Reversing just one (1) set of amplifier wires can cut out all
bass output from the subwoofer.

Faulty Connection Check all connections at amplifier and speakers to ensure they are

clean and tight. If the problem persists, it may be in the amplifier or
wiring. See other actions above.

Defective Amplifier
or other Electronic
Device

Poor System

If the noise is present but no program material is playing, the likely
cause is the signal chain in the electronics. Evaluate each component
as necessary to isolate the problem.

Check and correct the system grounding, as required.
Grounding or
Ground Loop

If these suggestions do not solve your problem, contact your nearest dealer or distributor.
