1. IMPORTANT REMARK
Congratulations! You are the owner of a carefully designed and manufactured equipment.

Thank you for choosing our IC SB10 model inceiling subwoofer.

In order to get the optimum operation and efficiency from this unit, it is VERY IMPORTANT

- before you plug anything - to read this manual very carefully and bear in mind all considerations

specified within it. We strongly recommend that its maintenance be carried out by our Authorized
Technical services.

2. WARNINGS

Never use this unit in the proximity of water. Do not expose the unit to water splashing, nor
place liquid containers on top of it.
Avoid placing the unit next to heat sources such as spotlights or heaters.

Use only the accessories specified by the manufacturer, employing the correct accessories

for each application.

3. INTRODUCTION
The IC SB10 model incorporates carefully selected components in an easy-to-use design

that is quick and reliable to install. It also provides excellent bass sound quality thanks to our infinite
baffle philosophy and a top-performance transducer.

The IC SB10 has a built-in transformer, making it extremely versatile and easy to use both

in applications with low impedance and in applications running at 100V/70V. All you have to do is
shift the position of the built-in selector switch.

The technical specifications of the IC SB10 include:

 10” inceiling woofer
 Power: 100W RMS @ 8Ω
 Sensitivity (1W/1m): 96 dB SPL
 Built-in transformer: 7.5 / 15 / 30 / 60 W @100V

3.75 / 7.5 / 15 / 30W @70V

 Internal Low Pass Filter: fc = 150Hz
 External diameter: 335mm
 Cut-out diameter: 307mm
 Installation system: four points fixed with a revolving fastener. Accessories included.

4. CONNECTIONS
The connection terminals are of spring

clamp type for peeled cable. Once they are
connected, all you have to do is choose the unit's
power and mode of operation using a simple
screwdriver. Always pay attention to the polarity.

The IC SB10 is delivered with the switch in the 100V/70V position. If you

accidentally hook it up to a low-impedance system, no damage will be done to the speaker,
but it will perform far under its real capabilities. If you accidentally connect the speaker to a
100V/70V network in the 8Ω position, serious damage will be caused to the speaker.

It is easy to install the IC SB10 with the four revolving fasteners incorporated. For more

information on how to install the IC SB10, please see section 5 of this manual.

5. LOCATION AND ASSEMBLY
To install this product correctly, you must be prepared to cut circular holes where you would

like to place the speakers and have the wiring necessary for each unit.

In order to install the speakers correctly:

1. Remove the protective grating from the speaker using the hook provided in the packaging.

2. Cut a circular hole in the false ceiling.
A template for cutting/painting is included with each unit to simplify this process. Once the

unit is separated into two parts, the outside part can be used as a template to make the hole in the
ceiling, and the inner disk can be used to protect the speaker cone if you would like to paint the
plastic another colour.

3. Use the clamps to connect the unit to the wiring of the system where the speaker is being
installed.

4. Place the speaker in the newly cut hole. Hold it in place with your hand and push it into
place, all the while making sure that the 4 revolving fasteners are drawn back.

5. Press each of the 4 screws that are accessible from the front side of the speaker. The
speaker is now fixed in its final position.

6. Reattach the protective grille.
Each IC SB10 speaker comes with a set of accessories that make it easy to install in drop

ceilings, resulting in an installation that is even more solid and reliable.

- A C-shaped metal ring.

- Two brackets especially designed for use in 600mm ceiling grids.

6

1. Insert the ring in the hole previously drilled in the
ceiling according to the procedure described on
the preceding page.

2. Place the ring in the hole as illustrated. It is
important that the tabs on the side of the ring are
placed exactly as shown.

3. Insert the brackets into the hole, fix them in place
on the tabs on the side of the metal ring and line
them up so that both V-shaped ends rest on the
ceiling’s existing grid.

4. Use the screws provided to attach the brackets to the ring.
The metal ring can also be use for non-drop ceilings, being as it distributes the weight

uniformly across the contact surface.

N.B.: The high performance of the IC SB10 speaker can result in substantial vibrations,

which may be transmitted to the existing materials and structures of the ceiling where it is installed.
Depending on the materials and structures in place, we recommend using shock absorbing
materials, such as neoprene, to eliminate undesired vibrations.

6. PAINTING
The IC SB10 is designed to be painted, meaning it can be installed anywhere, regardless

of the design and look of the place where it will be used.

Follow these instructions to paint the speaker:

1. Remove the protective grating from the speaker using the hook provided in the packaging.

2. Once the cut/paint template has been separated into two parts, use the inside disk to
protect the speaker cone. Place it tight on the cone. The points still on disk after it has
been separated help to fix it tight into place. The outside part of the template can be put
on the back part of the speaker, lining
it up with the plastic circle, to protect
the back part from splattering if you
are using spray paint.

3. Paint the protective grating and the
speaker separately. Make sure that
the small holes in the grating are not
blocked by paint. Use an appropriate
air drying paint.

4. When the paint is dry, remove the
protectors. The unit is ready to be
installed.
