With a selectable tap wattage that ranges from 2.5w all the way to 20w these speakers are great or any commercial application.
These ceiling speakers are precision tuned for excellent audio response at high and low volumes. If you want good musical sound you really need a 2-way speaker with a dedicated tweeter for highs and a dedicated woofer for lows. These n-ceiling speakers feature polypropylene woofer cones for clear, rich mids and deep bass. Our mylar dome tweeters provides clean, crisp highs.

Installation
Tools needed: A dry wall knife, a level, a phillips head screwdriver, and a flat head screwdriver.
- Using the included template, cut an opening in the drywall.
Note: Always allow at least Yi’ between a wall stud and the speaker cutout or the locking tabs will not be able to swivel into place. - To remove the grille insert a flat head screwdriver into the space between the grill and the inner lip of the speaker housing. Gently lift the grill out being careful not to bend it.
- Connect the speaker wires, set taps to the desired power setting (see diagram on next page), and insert the speaker into the cutout. Be sure to observe proper polarity.
- Screw down each of the four Phillips head screws. The locking tabs will swivel into place and secure the unit to the rear surface of the drywall. Put in the strips of adhesive to secure the grille.
- Replace the grill by gently pushing it onto the speaker face.

Setting the Taps
The tap is the selector knob at the rear of the CC-T Series speakers. It allows you to set how many watts the built-in transformer will allow the speaker to get from the amplifier. CC-T Series speakers have taps set at 2.5, 5, 10, 15, and 20 watts for 70-volt input. This range of taps allows for full customization of the sound for the space in which the speakers are installed. In a restaurant, for example, you can tap your dining room speakers at 5 watts, the speakers in the outside seating area at 10 watts, the ones in the hallway at 2.5 watts, and the speakers in the bathrooms at 5 watts. Another great feature of 70-volt speakers is that you can mix and match any type whether they are ceiling speakers (such as these), wall mounted speakers, subwoofers, etc.
Wiring
70-volt speaker set-ups allow you to run very long lines of speaker wire without signal loss. Wire all the positive terminals of the speakers to the positive 70-volt terminal of the amplifier. The negative terminals on the speaker simply get wired to the COM (negative) terminals on the amp. You do not have to worry about impedance. The power is constant.
The total number of speakers multiplied by the tap value cannot exceed the output power (in watts) of your 70V amplifier. The example below shows 5 total speakers. Using the 20W taps, you will need an amplifier with at least 100 watts (5 x 20 = 100W). A good rule of thumb is to select an amplifier with 15 to 20% greater power; in this case, an amplifier that delivers about 120W.

FAQs
For the wires, drill a hole. Make sure the amplifier is unplugged and turn off your breaker. Put the wires in. Start attaching the wires to the ceiling speakers’ terminals. Take the opposite side of the wires and attach it to the amplifier’s terminals. Try it by turning on your breaker.
Do ceiling speakers require a power outlet? No, ceiling speakers typically function as passive speakers, which means they lack internal amplifiers and are powered by speaker cables connected to an external amplifier. Each ceiling speaker is connected to the binding posts on the amplifier to do this..
While passive ceiling speakers require a separate amplifier to power them, active ceiling speakers have an amplifier built in into the unit.
Important: The term “mono” refers to the fact that the majority of ordinary ceiling speakers only output the left or the right channel of sound.
Every TV will have some sort of connected audio output. It will most likely be a digital optical output presently. You can enjoy TV sound through your ceiling speaker system by connecting an analogue cable from your TV to the amplifier, plugging it in, and setting your TV to line output.
Ceiling speakers are indeed excellent for playing music. Similar to being at a concert hall or live music event, they have the power to immerse you in a surround sound experience.
