3. INTRODUCTION
The ICPLUS series of in-ceiling speakers from ECLER integrates a careful selection of

components in a design that provides high quality sound and fast installation with a minimum of
tools.

For maximum flexibility in multiple installation profiles, the series has a metal back cover

and a 100V line transformer, both optional.

ICPLUS Series consists of 2 models: IC6+ and IC8+. The following describes the common

specifications for both models:

• 2-way in-ceiling speaker

• Woven Kevlar® bass transducer (woofer)

• Swiveling (± 15º) silk dome treble transducer (tweeter)

• Quick 3-steps (frame-body-grill) installation system with a minimum of tools

• Optional metal back cover

• Optional 100V line transformer

4. LOCATION, MOUNTING AND CONNECTI ONS
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. Strip and connect the two wires of the speaker cable end to the clamps terminals,
respecting relative polarity between speaker, other installation speakers and feeding
amplifier

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

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

7. 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. Hold the grill by its edge (not by
its perforated central part) to prevent an excessive pressure to bend it during the
assembly operation.

(*) If after installation you want to extract the speaker from the frame, gently pull the pin
lock, then turn the speaker counterclockwise and remove it.

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

environment in which it is installed.

Since once the installation is complete the front grill is the only visible part of the whole,

you just have to paint it to get the desired result. Paint it without the white cloth back and do it
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.
