Thank you for purchasing Phase Technology CI custom
installation speakers. This eighth generation of high
performance in-wall models features the same superb
sonic performance as our acclaimed PC-Series cabinet
speakers in addition to great exibility and easy installation, thanks to Phase Tech’s patented QuickMount™
tool-free clamping system. The most striking change to
the series VIII is a new look with the o-axis tweeter
design. This feature maximizes the speaker’s clarity and
imaging by creating an asymmetrical loading or diraction pattern, reducing the amount of diraction normally
caused by a ange-to-wall junction. The net result is the best
sonic realism you can buy in an in-wall speaker. All CI-Series
speakers include self-resetting solid-state PTC protection
circuits. This unique system is able to detect when the
speaker is being over-driven and lowers the speaker volume
until the problem is corrected. The PTC device then resets
itself for normal operation. Other features include liquidcooled tweeters for greater power handling, moistureresistant materials in all of the critical speaker components,
, galvanized steel speaker grilles and stainless steel hardwar
e for improved corrosion resistance, IR knockout mounts an

1.
Choose the appropriate mounting location
for each speaker.
Flange Installation:
Speaker Installation:
2.
Remove the speaker and ange/grille
assemblies from their boxes. Using the supplied
cutout template, carefully mark the area to be
cut out. Using a drywall knife or saw, cut the hole
in the drywall and prepare the speaker wires for
connection to the speaker terminals.
3.
Remove the grille from the mounting ange
by pressing it from behind. Attach
the provided white gasket material to the
outside, rear edge of the ange. Insert the
mounting ange into the hole with the end
marked “TOP” facing up. Loosen the ange
clamping screws one turn (counter clockwise)
to release the clamp. Use a level to insure that
the ange is square. Next tighten all 4 ange
clamp screws evenly to secure the ange to the
wall. It is best to tighten each screw with the
same amount of force (torque).
CAUTION:
Do
not over tighten.
7.
Tighten down the four QM clamps by pressing
them down ush with the bae’s surface.
6.
Insert the bae into the mounting ange,
aligning QM clamps with the four QM posts. Also
make sure that the tweeter is placed at
the end of the ange marked “TOP”.
4.
Use the provided tool to fully open the four
Quick Mount™ (QM) clamps. If the tool is not
available a small screw driver can be used.
NOTE –
When deciding upon a location
consider the following:
• Be certain your speaker wires can be run to or are
accessible from these locations.
• Make certain the wall or ceiling material is sturdy
enough to support the weight and vibration of the
speakers.
• It is recommended that our pre-construction rough
in brackets (part number RB-18*) be used whenever
possible in new construction.
• Be certain the area behind the speaker is free of
obstacles such as wall studs, electrical wiring, pipes,
etc.
• Each speaker should be positioned properly relative
to the listening area for good coverage.
• Audio performance and room-to-room isolation will
be improved if there is some berglass insulation
placed loosely behind the speaker.
8.
Using some familiar source material, listen to the
tweeter’s balance with the level control in each of
its three positions to nd your favorite.
9.
Carefully install grille by pressing it into the gap
between the ange and the bae and enjoy your
new Phase Technology CI speakers.
5.
Connect the speaker wires to the spring loaded
input terminals on the rear of the speaker, making
sure no loose strands are exposed.
