1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Before installation or use, be sure to carefully read all
the instructions in this section for correct and safe
operation.
• Be sure to follow all the precautionary instructions in
this section, which contain important warnings and/or
cautions regarding safety.
• After reading, keep this manual handy for future
reference.
• Install the unit only in a location that can structurally
support the weight of the unit and the mounting bracket.
Doing otherwise may result in the unit falling down and
causing personal injury and/or property damage.
• Do not use other methods than specified to mount the
bracket. Extreme force is applied to the unit and the unit
could fall off, possibly resulting in personal injuries.
• Tighten all screws securely. If any is loosely fixed, this
may cause the unit to fall, resulting in personal injury.
• To avoid electric shocks, be sure to switch off the
amplifier's power when connecting speakers.
• Do not operate the unit for an extended period of time
with the sound distorting. This is an indication of a
malfunction, which in turn can cause heat to generate
and result in a fire.
• Do not hang down from the unit as this may cause it to
fall down or drop, resulting in personal injury and/or
property damage.
The PE-64 and PE-304 are pendant speakers designed
for ceiling suspension installations.
Considered in architectural design, they can blend in with
lighting equipment.
A directly-attached 5 m (16.4 ft) speaker cord allows the
speaker to be suspended from the high ceiling.
The PE-64 is driven on high-impedance (100 V and 70 V)
line, while the PE-304 is driven on both high-impedance
(100 V and 70 V) and low-impedance (8 Ω) lines.
The input power (impedance) can be easily changed at
the upper side of the speaker.
The speakers are easy to repaint so as to meet a wide
range of design needs.

Thank you for purchasing TOA's Pendant Speakers.
Please carefully follow the instructions in this manual to
ensure long, trouble-free use of your equipment.
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if
mishandled, could result in death or serious
personal injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if
mishandled, could result in moderate or minor
personal injury, and/or property damage.

6. INSTALLATION
Step 1. Secure the ceiling bracket to the ceiling
with 4 screws.
Pull both the lead-in and lead-out cables
through the cable hole in the bracket.
The input power (impedance) is factory-preset to 6 W
(1.7 kΩ) for 100 V line and 3 W (1.7 kΩ) for 70 V line.
When changing this setting, use a standard screwdriver
to rotate the rotary switch on the upper side of the
speaker to the desired position
The input power (impedance) is factory-preset to 30 W
(330 Ω) for 100 V line.
When changing this setting, use a standard screwdriver
to rotate the rotary switches on the upper side of the
speaker to the desired position.
(1) When operating at high impedance (100 V and 70 V lines);
Set the rotary switch of "LINE VOL." to "100 V" or "70 V" and that of "INPUT" to the input power to be used.
(2) When operating at low impedance;
Set both rotary switches of "LINE VOL" and "INPUT" to 8 Ω.
Important
Be sure to follow the instructions below. Failure to do so may cause damage to the speaker.
• Switch off the amplifier's power when changing the input power.
• Never make 8 Ω connection in a 100 V or 70 V line system, as excessive input power is applied to the speaker,
possibly resulting in damage. (PE-304 only)

Step 2. Pass the speaker cord through the supplied ceiling
cover, and cut the cord to the desired length.
Note: Strip the end of speaker cord as illustrated.
Step 3. Run the speaker's cable through the cable holes in the
mounting hanger, then connect it to the input
connector.
Step 4. Put the mounting hanger onto the ceiling bracket's
hook.
Step 5. Connect both the lead-in and lead-out cables to the
input connector.

Step 6. Push the ceiling cover, slipped over the cord in Step 2,
onto the ceiling surface, then tighten the cover-retaining
nut using a 17 mm (0.67") hex wrench.
In the case of exposed wiring, notch the cable entry tab
on the rim of the cover, then make connections.

7. REPAINTING THE SPEAKER
Step 1. Remove 4 screws on the upper side of the
speaker cover to detach the cover.
Step 2. Remove 3 screws that fix the mesh net,
then raise the turndown tabs of the mesh
net to detach.
Step 3. Clean the speaker cover and mesh net.
Wipe with a soft cloth damped in a detergent.
Note
Do not use thinner or other volatile liquids to clean them as doing so may cause deformation.
Step 4. Use spray paint to apply uniform and thin coat of paint.
Notes
• Avoid painting with a roller or brush, as the mesh net could become clogged with paint.
• Use appropriate paints for the speaker cover and mesh net materials.
· Speaker cover: Fire-resistant HIPS resin
· Mesh net: Rolled steel plate (acrylic paint)
Step 5. After the paint has dried, apply another light coat.
Repeating Step 4, apply 2 or more light coats of paint. Application of one thick coat of paint all at once
may cause drips or unevenness to show up in the painted finish, or clog the mesh holes.
Step 6. After the paint has dried, replace the speaker cover and mesh net.
Follow the procedure below when repainting the speaker cover and mesh net.
Note: Never touch the inner speaker diaphragm during work.
