[INSTALLATION GUIDELINES]

For proper connection and therefore full enjoyment of your new Phase Technology

®

speakers,
we encourage you to read this owners’ manual thoroughly, even if you are very familiar with
installing speakers. Speaker placement is very subjective. Placement follows the guidelines for
the developers of in-ceiling speakers, yet is also guided by personal preferences. The proper
spacing, location and adjustment of in-ceiling speakers are critical for complete enjoyment
of your new speakers. This manual covers these topics thoroughly. Choose the appropriate
mounting location for each speaker.

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-14 for CS­6R & CS-6R DVT, AC-CS-8R-PCB for CS-8R) 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.

[SPEAKER INSTALLATION]
STEP 1: Using the supplied cutout template,carefully mark the area to be cut out. Using a

drywall knife or saw, cut a hole in the drywall and prepare the speaker wires for connection
to the speaker terminals. (Fig. 1).

STEP 2: Remove the grille from the speaker assembly (Fig. 2). If it is necessary to paint the

speaker grille to match the ceiling, we recommend that you do so with several light coats of
matching spray paint.

STEP 3: Connect the speaker wires to the input terminals on the rear of the speaker, making
sure no loose strands are exposed (Fig. 3).

STEP 4: NOTE: For the CS-6R DVT there are several hookup options. For stereo point-
source operation, connect the speaker wires to the left AND right channel input terminals on
the rear of the speaker (Fig. 4). Make sure no loose strands are exposed. Please make sure
to check your hookup polarity for proper operation.

For Surround/Mono: The CS-6R DVT may also be used as a surround speaker for home
theater applications. For the SURROUND or MONO mode of operation, connect your speaker
wire to either the left OR right channel input as above (Fig. 5). Next, connect 2 jumper wires
from this same input terminal to the corresponding input terminals on the opposite side of
the speaker. Connect the red positive terminal to opposite red terminal and black negative
terminal to opposite black terminal.

This speaker may be set to either the bipole OR dipole mode of operation using the selector
switch on the rear panel.

Please note that the speaker is a 4 ohm speaker in this conguration.

STEP 5: Carefully position the speaker in the cutout hole. Using a Phillips screwdriver, rotate
the four clamps to secure the speaker to the drywall (Fig. 6). CAUTION: DO NOT OVER-

TIGHTEN.

STEP 6: Carefully replace the grille by pressing it into the gap between the ange and the
bafe. Enjoy!
