Product Description
The 12.1P is a self contained, powered 12" subwoofer providing over
300 watts continuous output to the speaker. The 12.1P makes the
addition of a subwoofer to a EVID system very easy and efficient. Since
the unit is self-powered, the full range satellite speakers can be powered
independently from the subwoofer and optimized for the installation.
The 12.1P features a high performance, variable, 12-dB/octave
crossover and a full range line level output along with a high pass line
level output on the rear panel. The unit can be mounted in a variety of
configurations with the bracket hardware supplied.
Product Feature Identification
The 12.1P subwoofer comes with a dual-mode mounting bracket that
enables the unit to be easily mounted at either a wall/wall (corner) or on
a wall/ceiling (midwall) junction. The included forged steel eyebolt
provides the installer a solid attachment point for a safety line. When
properly anchored and supported, the 12.1P subwoofer may also be
safely installed protruding just 2 3/4" down through a standard suspended ceiling grid. See installation instructions.

Step-by-Step Installation & Wiring
Step 1: Mount the Bracket
The mounting bracket can be installed two ways (see Figures 5 and 6),
allowing optimal configurations for installations. Leave 1.5" of space
between the bracket and the ceiling when installing in a corner! Attach
the bracket to the wall with suitable fasteners screwed into structural
members in the wall. Remember: It is the installers responsibility to
insure that the structure can safely support the load.

Step 2: Install the Safety Line
Using accepted safe rigging practices, secure one end of a suitable
safety line (use cable, not chain, which will rattle) to a strong, secure
point above the speaker, a point that can withstand the shock of the
falling speaker. This is especially important in public spaces constructed
with light gauge steel studs. Do not attach the safety line to the bracket!
The safety line should prevent the speaker from falling if the bracket
tears loose from the wall. Secure the other end to the eyebolt that is fully
threaded into the enclosure.
