Owner’s Guide
ENGLISH
Thank you for purchasing PSB Speakers CustomSound In-Wall/In-Ceiling Speaker. These are high performance architectural speakers, providing
superior stereo and home theatre sound for commercial and residential applications. Their slim and discrete profile virtually disappears in the room
due to their small dimensions, low profile perforated grille and ‘frameless’ design. They are easy to install and conceal in all types of rooms.
Designed inside the anechoic chamber at Canada’s National Research Council, this CustomSound In-Wall/In-Ceiling Speaker is engineered using
PSB’s unparalleled driver technology, from their award-winning series of In-Room loudspeakers. The new PSB CustomSound models employ
clay-filled polypropylene woofer cones, titanium ferro-fluid cooled tweeter domes and carefully designed phase plugs to turn ordinary rooms and
commercial spaces into live performances. Please read this booklet to help assure that you are getting the most out of your PSB product and your
music.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES…
Square Grille Option
This adaptor is used to change from round to square grilles and should be installed
on the speaker before installation.
Dog Legs
The provided Dog Legs are used to lock the speaker into the ceiling or wall.
Backcan
Backcans are sold seperately for the following open back models only:
• BCN 600 for CS610/CS650 speakers
• BCN 630 for CS630 speaker
The Backcan attaches to the back of the speaker and provides:
• Speaker isolation for better sound quality.
• Seismic tabs that secure the speaker to prevent damage or injury, should it dislodge from
the ceiling or wall (included on the CS610, CS630 and CS650).
o This tab is provided on the back of each Backcan for connection to an
independent secondary support point.
o Some construction codes require using this secondary support point, which
requires connecting a support line to a separate secure support point. Consult
construction codes in your region.
NOTE: The CS600 Series provides seismic tabs directly on the speaker if the Backcan isn’t used.
WARNING: Ceiling speakers can generate substantial vibration. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
to use the seismic tab as a secondary support point in case the ceiling tile or structure breaks.
