FIT FastLoc 65 and 80 Series User’s Installation Guide

Focused Image Technology, In-Ceiling, Coaxial,

Infinite Baffle Loudspeaker with FastLoc Grille

The easy to install FIT-FL series is a full-range ceiling loudspeaker
incorporating new technology woofers with butyl rubber surrounds and
high grade pivoting tweeters. It features the revolutionary Focused
Image Technology. This feature gives the user the unique Patented
Three Dimensional Positioning (3DP) of the woofer. The 3DP concept
allows the user to separately adjust the angle, tilt and rotation of the
woofer so you can direct the sound where you want it not just where you
installed it. The Positive Positioning Lock (PPL) device prevents baffle
movement and speaker vibrations. Two screws on either side of the
woofer pull the back plane tight and lock the position in place.

It also features the revolutionary FastLoc zero edge quick connect grille.
Architects and designers have resisted the size of the traditional bezel.
The FastLoc feature, found only at Current Audio, exhibits the smallest
exposed bezel that virtually disappears into the ceiling. But the major
feature is the Patent Pending design that allows for rapid install that
conforms to uneven surfaces and prevents the grill from falling off even in
earthquakes. The positive positioning locking device PPL prevents baffle
movement and speaker vibrations.

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 5 year 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 only two (2) parts in the package: One main Speaker housing and one FastLoc 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 FastLoc 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 handle as shown. Do Not put fingers into the tweeter 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)
Black Dog-leg screws (clockwise) until the Dog-legs 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.

Next , while holding the built-in handle Rotate the Tweeter Bridge to the desired degree to allow the Baffle
housing to be angled down.

Now push one side of the Baffle edge to point the speaker to the desired listening area (“Sweet Spot”).

Then with a #2 Phillips screwdriver tighten the two (2) Silver PPL ,Positive Position Lock screws on the
Baffle Housing.

WARNING! Do Not Over tighten. This prevents future speaker movement and vibrations .

Lastly 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 Adjustments before installing the FastLoc 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.

Step 1: Align the FastLoc Grille Tabs with the speaker Detents.

Step 2: Twist clockwise with the palm of your hand until the Grille Tabs lock with the Speaker Detents

Step 3: Rotate far enough to compensate for bumpy or uneven surfaces.

NOTE: Grille must be rotated enough to ensure it is locked in place to prevent the grille from loosening during earthquakes.
