Step 2: Istall C-Rig ad/or Tile RailsThe Electro-Voice speakers come packaged with hardware: a C-rig adtwo tile rails.

For suspeded ceilig istallatios, isert the C-rig through the hole cuti the ceilig tile. Place the C-rig aroud the hole with the tas located asshow i Figure 5. Isert the tile rails through the cut hole i the ceilig tile.Sap the two rails ito the two tas i the C-rig ad alig the rails so thatthe eds exted OVER the T-chael grid o the side of the tile. Secure therails oto the C-rig tas isertig a screw though each ta ito the rail,as show i Figure 5.

InSTALLATIOn nOTE: TILE RAILS AnD C-RInGEach speaker comes with two tile rails which are desiged to fit either sta-dard 24-ich-wide or 600-mm-wide tiles. It is importat to ote that the tilerail pieces do ot actuall attach to the T-grid struts. The eds of the rails sitOVER the T-grid strut. normall, the tile supports the rails. The tile rails arepre-puched at regular itervals with holes alog their legth. This allowsthe C-rig to e positioed at a poit alog the rail. If the tile comes out or

falls apart, the eds of the support rails fall oto the T-grid, which prevetsthe speaker asseml from fallig.

Alwas use all icluded support hardware whe istallig ito suspededceilig tiles to make sure the istallatio is secure.

For sheetrock ceilig istallatios, the C-rig should e used itself to re-iforce the ceilig material ad to spread out the pressure from the speaker

hold-dow tas. Guide the C-rig through the cut hole i the ceilig, adplace it o the ack side of the hole efore isertig the speaker.
