Wall Mounting:
Once the wattage tap is determined for the speaker, and you have pre-run speaker
wire through the ceiling, the speaker system can be connected through the push
terminals on the back of the speakers. A 14 gauge, shielded UL listed wire is recommended for in-ceiling use. You will connect your positive wire through the red push
terminal on the back of your speaker, and the common speaker wire to the black push
terminal on the back of the speaker.
For a commercial application, the speaker wiring technique must utilize a parallel run.
Never use a series run with commercial speakers.
After connecting the speaker to the wires of the pre-wired ceiling, it is very important
that you mount speakers correctly when installing in the ceiling.
First, take the accompanying die-cut out and trace the outline on ceiling where
speaker is desired. Making absolutely sure that the speaker location is free of
electrical wires, phone wires, cable wires and other construction concerns, carefully
cut out the pre-traced speaker circle in your ceiling to establish the
mounting hole.
On drop ceilings, where ceiling tile is used as the mounting base, it is critical that you
support the weight of these speakers. Speco Technologies has ceiling brackets
supports specifically made for this reason, the RBC-6F for the SP-5MA/T and the
RBC-8F for the SP-6MA/T. Not using bracket supports in the ceiling could result in
drooping ceilings and/or serious injury. Speco Technologies is not responsible for
injury or liability resulting for mis-installed speakers.
For both sheetrock and tile applications, a metal security loop is provided on the back
of the speaker where a safety cable can be run through and secure all the speakers
to a sturdy anchor in the ceiling.
Once the speaker is placed in the ceiling, tighten the four screws on the faceplate
clockwise. This will secure the clamps down behind the speaker and secure it for use.
Upon securing your speaker system, replace the grille.
Warranty:
Speco Technologies offers a limited 15-year warranty on their indoor speakers.
Please reference the enclosed warranty card for complete details of
warranty.

Connecting and Mounting Your Speakers:
Please read the following directions for connecting and mounting your MA Series
speakers:
Connecting:
It is important that before making any connections with the speaker terminals on
your MA Speakers that your power source, amplifier and/or receiver, is completely
off.
First, determine the purpose that your MA Series Sound System Speaker will be
used for by determining whether it will be used in a 70 Volt, 25 Volt or 8 ohm
a p p l i c a t i o n .
Remove the speaker’s grille by pressing the easy mount tabs on the side of
the speaker to the left and then upward. Do this evenly on each side until the grille
can be grasp to be taken off by hand. Be careful not to bend the grille.
Once you have removed the grille and determined your application, if used for a 70
or 25 Volt application, adjust the 25V/70V selector switch on the speaker’s faceplate
to the desired 70 Volt or 25 Volt application.
Upon completing this task, determine which wattage tap best meets the sound need
of the environment the speaker will be utilized in. Usually, a wattage tap dial set at
“1.0W” - “2.5W” will be utilized for background music in an office place setting. The
higher wattage taps “5.0W” - “30.0W/40.0W” are utilized when a higher volume for
the speaker is needed to offset a louder environment. After determining your need,
gently turn the wattage dial on the faceplate of the speaker so that the indicator is
aligned with the desired wattage tap.
For an 8 ohm speaker requirement, turn dial tap to the 8 ohm indication.
This automatically overrides the transformer within the unit and the Voltage Selector
switch on the faceplate.
