INSTALLATION SAFETY NOTE:
IMC Series speaker systems must be installed by a qualified professional

installer in accordance will all local, state, and federal building codes and

regulations, and the installation must conform with industry standard practices.

Lowell recommends that a safety factor of at least X5 be used when designing

any speaker rigging system. It is the responsibility of the installer to consult a

Licensed Structural Engineer to verify the structural integrity and safety of any

mounting method before installation. After installation, inspect the rigging

system regularly and replace worn or damaged rigging components immediately.

Installation Instructions:

IMC Series “-2W” (2 Cu. Ft. Volume) speaker systems are shown in FIGURE 1,

FIGURE 2, and FIGURE 3. IMC “-1W” (1 Cu. Ft. Volume) speaker systems are not

shown but all instructions included in this sheet apply to both cylinder sizes.

All IMC Series speaker systems are equipped with three (3) ¼-20 load rated threaded

inserts in the top of the enclosure. As shipped from the factory, ¼-20 load-rated forged

shoulder eyebolts have been provided in those threaded inserts (shown in FIGURE 2)
which can be used to suspend the speaker system using load-rated aircraft cables.
The three (3) ¼-20 forged shoulder eyebolts may be removed to attach other load-rated
rigging hardware to all three (3) ¼-20 threaded insert points if desired.

Rear Cover Plate:

The IMC speaker systems include a 4" X 4" cover plate that allows access to the wiring

compartment as shown in Figure 4. If a transformer is included, it is mounted on a
bracket below the 4" X 4" cover plate. The cover plate includes a ½” knockout for a
UL Listed bushing, ½” Romex connector, or fitting for flexible conduit.

Typical Wiring Method:

Connect the field speaker wiring to the two (2) conductors sticking out of the rear of the

speaker system. Red is the positive (+) lead and black is the negative (-) lead. Use UL

Listed wire nuts or crimp caps to make the splice. Push the splice into the cavity above

the transformer and close the 4" X 4" cover. Note: The splice must be located inside of
the wiring cavity and be enclosed by the 4" X 4" cover plate to meet the NEC code.

Setting the Transformer Tap Selector Switch:
For models that include a transformer, set the transformer tap selector switch that can

be accessed with a slot-head screwdriver through a hole in the front grille as shown in
FIGURE 3. The tap selections are described in FIGURE 5 for models with 100 watt or
32 watt transformers. For 8-ohm models, there is no selector switch provided.
