Installation

Saros

®

speakers by Crestron

®

deliver professional grade

performance and flexible installation in a range of popular

sizes for demanding commercial applications. Solid

construction, easy installation, and high end components

are hallmarks of the complete Saros speaker line.

Ideal for use in background or foreground music, paging,

and sound reinforcement systems, Saros speakers are

engineered to achieve smooth, even coverage, high output,

and clear, natural sound quality through the employment of

horn loaded dome tweeters, high efficiency damped cone

woofers, ported enclosures, and precisely tuned crossovers.

Their low-profile enclosures allow for installation in constricted

ceiling spaces as shallow as 5 1/8 inches (130 mm).

Prepare Mounting Hole

Front View - Grille Removed

Tighten Screws

Before finalizing the speaker location, check to make sure there are no fixtures, pipes, air ducts,

joists, or other possible obstructions. If applicable, use a good quality stud finder to locate joists.

If there are no obstructions, use the supplied template to trace an outline of the mounting hole.

For drop tile ceilings, remove the ceiling tile and place on a flat surface to trace the mounting

hole. For drywall or standard construction ceilings, use the template to trace the mounting hole

directly on the ceiling.

Install Cable

Run the cable from the audio source to the speaker location, observing all appropriate local

codes. Strip the ends of the speaker cables approximately 1/8” to 3/16” (~3 mm to ~5 mm) and

twist the strands

.

Install Tile Bridge

The included tile bridge components provide proper support when the speaker is installed in a

typical drop tile ceiling. Refer to the illustration below.

1. Based on the location of the mounting hole determined in “Prepare Mounting Hole” above,

use the two supplied screws to attach the support ring to the rails so that when installed,

the ring is aligned with the mounting hole and the rails rest on the ceiling grid frame.

2. The support ring position on the rails is adjustable to enable off-center speaker positioning.

The tile bridge assembly can be folded to fit through the speaker cutout in blind-mount

situations.

Speaker Cable Connections

Mount/Remove Speaker

The in-ceiling speaker includes four toggle clamps that simplify the mounting process. If the grille is

mounted on the speaker, remove it before proceeding. (Refer to “Install/Remove Grille” above.)

1. Referring to the illustrations to the right, remove the screw securing the rear cover panel, and lift

the cover panel off to expose the supplied terminal block.

2. Route the speaker cable through the cover cable clamp and connect the wires to the terminal

block, using the outer IN terminals: red to + and black to –. Use the inner + and – THRU

terminals to connect a pass-through (parallel) speaker.

3. Allow some slack in the speaker cable(s) and position the cover panel on the back, making

certain it engages the mounting clips. Secure the cover panel using the screw removed in step 1

and tighten the cable clamp to secure the cable(s). Do not over tighten. Use a safety tether

attached to the rear enclosure to prevent the speaker from accidentally falling.

4. The toggle clamps offer two positions to accommodate both standard and extra thick surfaces up

to 2.4 inches (61 mm). For extra thick tiles, reset the toggle clamps to the upper position.

a. With the toggle clamps turned inward, insert the speaker into the opening.

b. Hold the speaker against the ceiling and begin tightening the four screws on the front of the

speaker. The toggle clamps first rotate into clamping position (as indicated in the front view

illustration to the right) and then begin holding the speaker to the ceiling.

c. Tighten the screws until the speaker is secure. Do not over tighten.

5. Speaker removal is accomplished by reversing steps 1 through 4 above.

Tile Bridge Assembly

Install/Remove Grille

The zero-bezel frameless grille is held in place by powerful magnets. A safety tether is included to

prevent any possibility of the grille falling from the ceiling. With the tether attached, place the grille

in position on the speaker. To remove the grille, grip the edges and pull away from the speaker.

Paint the Speaker Grille

Speaker grille painting should be done prior to mounting.

1. Carefully remove the material on the underside of the grille and set it aside for reinstallation. It may

be necessary to use a knife or other sharp instrument to free an edge of the material so it can be

peeled away. Use care to avoid cutting or tearing the material.

2. Dry brush or lightly spray the surface to be painted. Use care to avoid clogging the holes in the grille.

3. Once the paint is dry, reinstall the material to the underside.

Set the Transformer Tap Selector Switch

The speakers are equipped with a 70/100 V matching transformer for distributed audio

systems. The transformer tap selector switch on the front panel is used to set the speaker

power level. Use a flat blade screwdriver to adjust the switch.

1. For SAROS_IC6LPT and SAROS_IC8LPT 70 V systems, use the left side settings

and select from 3.75, 7.5, 15, 30, or 60 watts.

2. For SAROS_IC6LPT and SAROS_IC8LPT 100 V systems, use the right side settings

and select from 7.5, 15, 30, or 60 watts. The X position should not be used.

3. For SAROS_ICE6LPT and SAROS_ICE8LPT 70 V systems, use the left side settings

and select from 3.75, 7.5, 15, or 30 watts.

4. For SAROS_ICE6LPT and SAROS_ICE8LPT 100 V systems, use the right side

settings and select from 7.5, 15, or 30 watts. The X position should not be used.

The switch may also be set to 8Ω operation, bypassing the transformer completely. This

setting should be used only for 8 Ω audio systems.
