Mounting the Speaker
The mounting hardware includes a backbox and a tile bridge for
mounting the speaker in a ceiling with mounting screws and speed
nuts (Figure 1 on page 5).

needed for wiring. There are four dual 3/4" x 1-1/8 in and four
5/8 in knockouts.
2. Select a mounting location and remove the ceiling tile.
3. Cut a 7.87 in (200 mm) hole in the tile for the tile bridge.
4. Slide the ange of the backbox under the six clips on the tile
bridge until all mounting holes align.
5. Secure the tile bridge to the backbox with the four #8-32 Phil-
lips screws and speed nuts included in the kit.
6 Insert the tile into the ceiling and push back an adjacent tile.
7. Insert the tile bridge/backbox assembly through the opening
you created by pushing back the adjacent tile.
8. Center the hole in the bridge/backbox assembly over the hole
you cut in the tile.
