Thank you for purchasing Phase Technology CI custom
installation speakers. This eighth generation of high performance ceiling mounted speakers features the same superb
sonic performance as our acclaimed PC-Series cabinet
speakers in addition to great flexibility and easy installation.
The most striking change to the series VIII is a new look with
the off-axis tweeter design. This feature maximizes the
speaker’s clarity and imaging by creating an asymmetrical
loading or diffraction pattern, reducing the amount of
diffraction normally caused by a flange-to-ceiling junction.

The net result is the best sonic realism you can buy in an
in-ceiling 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
liquid-cooled tweeters for greater power handling, moistureresistant materials in all of the critical speaker components,
galvanized steel speaker grilles and stainless steel hardware for
improved corrosion resistance.

the following:
• Be certain your speaker wires can be run to or
• Make certain the wall or ceiling material is

• Be certain the area behind the speaker is free
• Each speaker should be positioned properly,

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.

3.
Remove the grille from the mounting
flange by pressing it from behind. Insert the
mounting flange into the hole. Loosen the
flange clamping screws one turn (counter
clockwise) to release the clamp. Next,
tighten all four flange clamp screws evenly
to secure the flange to the wall. It is best to
tighten each screw with the same amount of
force (torque).
CAUTION: Do not over-tighten.
Speaker Installation:
4. Connect the speaker wires to the
spring-loaded input terminals on the rear of
the speaker, making sure no loose strands
are exposed. If connecting the CI 6.2s
