1. IMPORTANT NOTE

Congratulations! You are the owner of a carefully designed and manufactured piece of
equipment. We thank you for trusting in us and choosing our ICPLUS-series speaker for false ceilings.
In order to get the optimum operation and efficiency from this unit, it is VERY IMPORTANT

- before you plug anything in - to read this manual very carefully and bear in mind all considerations
specified within. We strongly recommend that maintenance be carried out by our Authorized Technical
services.

2. PRECAUTIONS

Never use this unit in proximity to water. Do not expose the unit to water splashing.
Avoid placing the unit next to heat sources such as spotlights or heaters.
Use only the accessories specified by the manufacturer, adapted for each application.

3. INTRODUCTION

The ICPLUS series of integrated false ceiling speakers from ECLER are built from a
careful selection of components in a design that provides high quality sound and fast installation with
a minimum of tools.

ICPLUS Series consists of 2 models: IC6+ and IC8+. The specifications common to both
models are described below:

 2-way in-ceiling speaker
 Woven Kevlar® bass transducer (woofer)
 Swivelling ( 15º) silk dome treble transducer (tweeter)
 Quick 3-steps (frame-body-grill) installation system with a minimum of tools
 Optional rear metal cover (included in PLC and PLF kits)
 Optional 70/100V line transformer (included in PLF kits)

For maximum flexibility in multiple installation settings, the series comes with a rear metal
cover and a 70/100 V line transformer, both optional, except in the following product kits where these
items are standard:

IC6PLC: kit composed of IC6PLUS + rear metal cover
IC8PLC: kit composed of IC8PLUS + rear metal cover
IC6PLF: kit composed of IC6PLUS + rear metal cover + 70V/100V line transformer
IC8PLF: kit composed of IC8PLUS + rear metal cover + 70V/100V line transformer

4. LOCATION, ASSEMBLY AND CONNECTIONS

For proper product installation, circular holes have to be made in selected places and the
appropriate wiring has to be prepared for each unit.

Here are the steps to follow for proper installation:

1. Make the mounting hole in the false ceiling, after marking its outline with the supplied
cutting template

2. Insert the speaker's frame into the hole, taking care that the 3 revolving fasteners remain
in the retracted position, and letting the end of the speaker connecting cable pass
through the frame

3. Tighten each of the 3 screws accessible from the front of the unit. The revolving
fasteners rotate and at the end of the tightening, the frame is fixed at its final position

4. Peel and connect the two wires at the end of the speaker cable to the looped terminals,
respecting the relative polarity between the speaker, the rest of the installation's
speakers and the amplifier that powers them. If using a 70/100V line transformer, select
the desired power position by turning the dial located on top.

5. If using the rear metal cover, assemble and screw it on.

NOTE: In most cases, the electro-acoustical response of a ceiling/wall speaker like the
ICPLUS will be better if it is installed in a false ceiling or on a wall made of low-porosity
materials and without the rear cover. The response in the low frequency range will be
especially affected, since these types of ceilings act as baffles” or mechanical
loudspeaker enclosures. Generally speaking, try not to install the rear cover if it is not
necessary, if the installation surface is non-porous (e.g. without holes) and you want to
obtain the best possible acoustic response from the ICPLUS series.

6. Insert the speaker into the frame and rotate it clockwise on its vertical axis, until the
locking mechanism is activated. Then try to rotate it in the opposite direction to confirm it
is correctly locked (*)

7. Start the sound system to test the speaker and, if necessary, adjust the treble transducer
(tweeter) to the desired position

8. Finally, install the grill on the speaker frame and turn it slightly so that the revolving
fasteners of the frame and the grille are fitted together. During assembly, hold the grate
by the edges (not the perforated, centre part) to avoid damaging it.

(*) If you want to remove the speaker from the frame once installed, turn the locking pin

gently and then move the speaker in a counter-clockwise direction to remove it.

5. PAINT

ICPLUS series is ready to be painted and thus can match any cosmetic criteria of the

environment in which it is installed.

Once the installation is complete, the front grill is the only visible part of the unit, simply
paint it to get the desired result. Paint it without the white cloth back installed and do so carefully to
avoid excess paint that may block up the small holes of the central area.

If for some reason you want to also paint the frame of the speaker (for example, in case of
an installation without front grilles), always do it with the speaker removed and protect the revolving
fasteners area of the frame in which the speaker will then fit, so the paint does not impede the
subsequent installation of the speaker in the frame.
