2 SPK-C612 - Getting Started

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

•Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

•Review the contents of this user manual

•Use Kramer high-performance high-resolution cables

Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com to check for up-to-date

user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware

upgrades are available (where appropriate).

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

•Use only good quality connection cables (such as the Kramer BC-2S) to

avoid interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and

elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)

•Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils

•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

•Position your Kramer SPK-C612 away from moisture, excessive sunlight

and dust

To ensure that you obtain the best sound results, do not open the

housing of the passive speaker or the active speaker.

Spaces.

SPK-C612 - Overview 3

3 Overview

The SPK-C612 consists of a pair of high performance closed back speakers. The

pair can be mounted on the ceiling, as well as via a ceiling mounting kit used to

safely secure the speakers to the ceiling.

The SPK-C612 speakers feature a diameter of 6.5”, a resistance of 8Ωand a

closed-back depth of 7”. Figure 1 shows an example of how the SPK-C612 can be

installed in a boardroom setup:

Each Closed-back Ceiling speaker is supported by a C-ring and two tile rails. The tile

rails prevent the speakers from falling if the tile itself comes out or falls apart, as

their ends catch onto the T-grid. When mounting onto the ceiling tiles, use both

supports. When mounting onto a sheetrock ceiling, the C-ring alone is used to

reinforce the ceiling material.

Be sure that the tiles can support the speaker. Smaller sized tiles or

fiberglass-type tiles cannot support the weight of the speakers.

When this is the case, the speakers will need additional support.

Speakers

This section explains how to install the SPK-C612, that is:

•Choosing the best place to locate your speakers (see Section 5.1

•Cutting the ceiling tile (see

)

Section 5.2

•Mounting the Speakers (see

)

Section 5.3

•Painting the speakers (see

)

Section 5.4

5.1 Choosing the Best Location

)

Ideally, locate the speakers above the main listening area. Before doing so, be

sure that:

•The desired location is free of obstructions, such as electrical piping, AC

ducts or water lines, and so on

•There is enough space behind the mounting surface for the speakers

•The rear side of the speaker is not blocked by wall studs or other objects

5.2 Cutting the Ceiling Tile

To cut the ceiling tile, do the following:

1. Remove the circle in the supplied template.

Keep this template for later use as a mask, as you may want to paint the speakers (see

Section 5.4

2. Mark the opening in the correct location by tracing the hole in the template.

)

3. Cut out the hole according to the template or with a circular cutter set to the

appropriate cutout size.

Initially, you can cut a smaller area inside the marked hole just to be sure that the

space above the speakers is clear

4. Route the wiring from the amplifier to the speakers’ cutout holes, taking care

not to place them next to electrical wires or at least at a distance of about

two feet from an AC line.

SPK-C612 - Installing the SPK-C612 Closed-back Ceiling Speakers 7

Do not nail or staple the speaker wires.

If you are mounting the speakers onto a ceiling tile, remove the ceiling tiles where

you plan to install the speakers. Use the template to trace and then cutout the

speaker hole over an empty box.

The closed-back ceiling speakers are supported by the ceiling mounting kit (two

C-rings and two pairs of tile rails; the tile rails prevent the speakers from falling if

the tile itself comes out or falls apart, as their ends catch onto the T-grid). When

mounting onto the ceiling tiles, use both supports.

Be sure that the tiles can support the speaker. Smaller sized tiles or

fiberglass-type tiles cannot support the weight of the speakers.

When this is the case, the speakers will need additional support.

When mounting onto a sheetrock ceiling, the C-ring alone is used to reinforce the

ceiling material.

5.3 Mounting the Speakers

To mount the SPK-C612, do the following:

1. Place the C-ring over the hole cut in the ceiling tile (on the “ceiling” side).

Place it around the hole so that the tabs are located in parallel to the tile

edges.

2. Place the tile rails on the tile and snap them into the two tabs on the C-ring.

Align the rails so that the ends extend over the T-channel grid.

3. Insert a screw through each tab on the C-ring to secure the rails.

4. Connect the speaker wires to the appropriate connector terminals:

PIN 1 and PIN 2 are connected internally and are positive (+)

PIN 3 and PIN 4 are connected internally and are negative (-)

Screw the hold-down screws on the connector until tight, using a small

screwdriver.

You can connect the speakers in the two following possible layouts:

Wiring in parallel: connect the wire pair of the subsequent speaker to

PIN 2 and PIN 3. When one input connector is removed, subsequent

speakers will remain connected (see Figure 3)

Daisy-chaining: connect the wire pair of the subsequent speaker to

PIN 1 and PIN 4. When one input connector is removed, subsequent

speakers will be disconnected (see Figure 3)

5. Plug the connector into the socket in the terminal cup of the speaker (see

Figure 5).

6. Run the wires through the wires’ opening in the input terminal cover plug

and then into the terminal block connector of the speaker.

7. Push the speaker into the ceiling hole until the front baffle rim is leveled with

the ceiling.
