Baffle Loudspeaker with Easy Install Grille

The easy to install CS series speakers are a full range ceiling
loudspeaker that incorporates high tech woofer materials with a butyl
rubber surround and the Patent Pending stat-of the- art diffractionless
dome Ferrofluid cooled tweeter. The Patent Pending pivoting tweeter
allows for deeper penetration into the room and concentrated sound to
the sweet spot.
This revolutionary combination provides superior and more natural sound
for both foreground and background applications.
The Infinite Baffle design makes it the ideal choice for typical applications
in open beam attic or enclosed ceilings.

For efficiency and consistency the CS series are timbre matched to the
FIT series and WS series of speakers.
In addition, most of the CS speakers incorporate a 3 position equalization
switch, one each for bass and treble to fine tune the acoustics and allow
for various room surfaces.

The speaker grille color is white, and is a close match to Frazee White
Shadow 181. It can be painted to match any décor. The speaker
enclosure is a durable UV-resistant material that allows for both indoor
and outdoor installations. Unlike other grilles that use magnets to hold
them on they must be made of steel that will rust. The perforated powder­coated aluminum alloy grill is long-lasting, corrosion resistant and rust­free.

Four built-in expanding transverse dog leg clamps permit installation with
or without pre-wire construction brackets in drywall or material with
thickness of 7/32” to 1 3/16”.

Electrical connection, up to 12 gauge wire, is made by two gold plated
constant tension spring-loaded terminals.

With our limited Lifetime warranty you are assured years of superior
trouble free operation.

Packaging and Enclosed Parts

Please inspect your pack for damaged or missing parts. Notify your supplier if any discrepancies occur.
There are four (4) parts in the package: Two (2) main speaker housings and two (2) grilles. CS650DT is packaged each with one speaker and one grille.

Only simple hand tool s are required for assembly and installation.
Required tools: #2 Phillips screwdriver only , if you have new construction brackets previously installed.

Drywall Hand saw if no New Construction Brackets were installed. A saber saw may be required if you are cutting into plywood.

Painting the Speaker Grille

If grille requires painting , carefully remove the white scrim cloth on the inside of the Grille and save for reinstallation. This cloth is provided for aesthetic
purpose only. Either spray paint the grille or use a stiff stipple paint brush. Do Not clog the perforated holes as this will impede the acoustics of the
speaker.

1

Using the supplied Trace Template, place the cutout template against the ceiling
and trace along the inside circle. It is suggested to cut a small pilot hole to verify
no obstructions, such as pipes or beams, that could hinder the install.

Carefully cut out the ceiling material along the circle. A drywall saw is perfect for
this step. Hold a box or trash can under your cutting to catch the debris.
NOTE: A stud finder may be helpful to locate the ceiling beams. You want to
layout the hole to the side of any beams.

Trace Template

2

After you have cut your desired hole from the template, locate the speaker wire for that speaker.
Pull enough wire slack down to attach the 2 conductor wire to the gold plated constant tension spring-loaded terminals.

Remove about 2” of the outer jacket then strip about ½” insulation from each wire and slightly twist the strands to ensure all strands can be inserted into
the hole. Refer to next picture for location of the gold plated constant tension spring-loaded terminals.

Push down on the RED (+) colored Terminal and insert the Red or copper colored conductor all the way up to the insulation into the hole at the bottom of
the terminal. Now release your finger from the terminal . Next do the same to the Black or silver colored conductor and insert into the BLACK (-) colored
Terminal. Make sure there are NO whiskers from the strands that could cause a short. The other end of these wires will be connected to your amplifier or
volume control.

Note: Sometimes your wire color may be White (+) and Green (-).
You now have a connection with the proper tension for continued operation that will not wiggle out or cause poor connection.

 Grab and hold the speaker by the built-in Tweeter Bridge Handle as shown. Do Not put fingers into

the tweeter material in the center of the speaker.

WARNING! Denting or deforming the tweeter dome will change the acoustics of the speaker.

 Insert the connected speaker into the ceiling hole and with a #2 Phillips screwdriver tighten the four

(4) Dog-leg screws (clockwise) until the Dog-legs open and clamp the speaker to the ceiling. If
using a power drill or electric screw gun use the lowest torque setting. Over tightening may cause
improper fit of the grille, damage to drywall and or damage to speaker.

 Adjust the Tweeter position to your ear area at the “Sweet Spot” by slighting pushing on the outer

edge of the tweeter with your thumb.

 Make the crossover Contour Switch adjustments before installing grille.

The Bass and Treble switches on the Tweeter Bridge (as shown in section 4) allows for contour
adjustment. Moving the switch to (+) increases the Bass or Treble 3db and to (-) reduces it by 3db. In
the (O) setting you achieve a flat frequency response.

NOTE: If you have blown-in insulation and/or a potential rodent problem I suggest you install the SpeKap.
It is a breathable membrane that will keep rodent droppings, debris, and insulation from entering the back
of the speaker that could change the performance of the speaker. See figure on next page.

NOTE: The R70VT transformer adapts any Current Audio 8 Ohm speaker for use with multi-speaker
70 Volt commercial distributed public address and sound systems. The CS65 and CECS series have
stand-offs for direct mounting the R70VT. It features a high power, low insertion loss, wide frequency
response quality line matching transformer design.
The transformer has multiple primary taps of 30-16-8-4 watts with the secondary at 8 Ohms. See figure on
next page.
