This user guide contains information about the Extron FF 220T Flat Field 2' x 2' Ceiling
Speakers.
The FF 220T features a low profile design that houses a 3-inch driver and has the appearance
of a standard ventilation grill. All the drivers and components above the ceiling are hidden
behind the grill.
The FF 220T is designed for use in plenum rated ceiling spaces and can be mounted into a
standard 2' x 2' or 2' x 4' (with supplied cross bars) false ceiling tile space on a T-bar grid, or
a frame installed in solid ceilings.
Features
• Drop-in ceiling tile speakers for suspended ceilings
• UL 2043 plenum rated enclosure
• Extron patent pending Flat Field technology for consistent sound levels across
the listening area, reducing the number of speakers required
• A 3-inch (7.6 cm) horn-loaded, full range driver provides extended low
frequency response.
• The white perforated grille matches the appearance of air conditioning vents.
• 8 ohm direct or 70/100 volt operation with 16, 8, 4, 2, and 1 watt selectable
power taps accessed with speaker wiring connections inside the rear panel
This section discusses how to install the FF 220T speakers.
CAUTION: Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only.

Installation Considerations
• Installation of conduit and conduit adapters must conform to all applicable building
codes and local ordinances.
• Installation in a plenum-rated environment requires a wire gauge of 12 AWG to
18 AWG. Conduit may be required.
NOTE: If you are daisy chaining speakers in 70 V or 100 V conguration, the
maximum wire gauge is 16 AWG.
If you are daisy chaining speakers in direct (8 ohm) conguration, the
maximum wire gauge is 14 AWG.
• If using seismic supports, the installer provides the cables.
• Wiring connections depend on whether or not a distributed (70 or 100 volt) audio
system is installed with these speakers.
Installing the Speaker
1. Power down — Power down all attached devices before proceeding.
2. Remove the suspended ceiling tile — Remove the 2' x 2' ceiling tile where the FF
220T will be installed as shown below. If the ceiling has 2' x 4' tiles, cut the tile in half.
3. Remove the terminal cover plate — Loosen (do not remove) the two screws on the
top terminal cover plate and remove the cover plate as shown below.
Loosen but do not remove
the 2 transformer cover plate
screws in the 2 keyhole slots.
Transformer Cover Plate

4. Routing cables through the transformer cover plate — Slide and remove the
terminal cover plate. The transformer cover plate is mounted to the speaker with the
transformer side down. See the illustration below.

6. Proceed to step 7 (going through the transformer) or 9 (bypassing the
transformer) for the appropriate wiring procedure for either a distributed audio
system (70 V or 100 V line distribution through the transformer) or for a direct
connection from an amplifier (bypassing the transformer).
NOTE: In the 70 V or 100 V distribution system block diagram below, an optional
speaker has been added as an example of daisy chaining FF 220T speakers
to a single amplifier output.

c. Strip 3/16 inch (5 mm) from the wire ends and keep the wire end strands together
by twisting them. Do not tin the wires.
d. Secure the wires to the appropriate taps on the captive screw connectors of the
seven-connector terminal block (on the transformer side of the cover plate) as
indicated on the tap label. See the note below.
NOTE: Observe the 70 V or 100 V system designation as indicated on the tap
