Welcome/Safety/Important Features
Welcome
Thank you for purchasing Bosch loudspeakers. Read through this manual to familiarize yourself with fea- tures, applications, and precautions before you use these products.
Bosch loudspeakers use innovative design and materials to provide
Safety First
Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals who have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and regulations of rigging objects overhead. Bosch strongly recommends that all speakers be suspended taking into account all current national, federal, state and local regulations. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that all speakers are safely installed in accordance with all such regulations. When speakers are suspended, Bosch strongly rec- ommends that the system be inspected at least once a year. If any sign of weakness or damage is detect- ed, remedial action should be taken immediately. The user is responsible for making sure that the sup- porting surfaces, and any additional hardware used, is capable of supporting the loudspeaker. Any hard- ware used to suspend a loudspeaker array that is not provided by/associated with Bosch is the responsibil- ity of others.

Installation and Wiring
The Bosch mounting system has been designed so that, if necessary, the installation can be done from beneath the ceiling. In some cases with a suspended ceiling grid, however, it may be easier to access from both the top and bottom of the ceiling tile during the installation process. Typical installation hardware needed for either suspended ceilings or sheetrock ceil- ings is included. The ceiling speaker assembly is held in place by mounting tabs that securely grip the ceil- ing material. Input wiring is attached to a removable terminal block connector that can be
Step 1: Cut the Hole (Figure 4)
For suspended tile or sheetrock ceilings, cut out the hole either by tracing the cardboard template or with a circular cutter set to the appropriate cutout size. If the wire has been

Step 6: Adjust Tap Selector (Figure 12)
The tap selector switch is located on the front baffle. Adjust the speaker to the appropriate tap setting before installing the grille. In some 70V/100V con- stant voltage installations it is advisable to leave the grilles off if final speaker audio level balance adjust- ments are to be made later. After the levels are adjusted the grilles can then be installed.

INSTALLATION NOTE:
GRILLE SAFETY FEATURE
Bosch grilles features a unique safety tether to pre- vent the grille from falling if the grille is removed or comes loose after installation.
First, install the grille???s safety tether by pushing the grille fastener into the hole in the front of the baffle (see Figure 13). Second, press the grille into place until the front of the grille is flush with the rim of the baffle. Make sure the grille is securely seated to prevent it from vibrating loose.
If you need to remove the grille, the easiest way is to insert two bent paper clips or other pointed objects into holes in the grille, then apply slow even pressure to pull down on the grille until that section of the grille comes out slightly. Continue the same proce- dure around the perimeter of the grille, loosening a portion at a time until the grille is removed.

Appendix A ??? Painting the Speaker
If the speaker is installed in an area where the inte- rior design requires a color match, these speakers are simple to paint. The speakers can accommodate almost any type of latex or
Clean the rim and grille with mineral spirits or other light solvent. Do not use harsh solvents such as gasoline, kerosene, acetone, or other chemicals. If you use these cleaners you may permanently damage the enclosure. Also, don???t use abrasives products such as sandpaper or steel wool.
Either by rolling or spraying, apply two or more thin coats of paint. If you are spraying, hold the spray can at the angles shown in Figure 14.
Figure 14:
If you are painting the grille also, you must first remove the internal grille cloth. Spray painting is strongly recommended. If the grille is rolled or brush painted, the grille may become clogged with paint and the sound quality will suffer. After the paint has dried, replace the internal grille cloth.
If you wish to paint the speaker along with the ceiling after installation, insert a plastic or cardboard paint shield into the front of the speaker to mask the drivers and internal baffle, paint the speaker, then remove the shield.
