Before installing your speakers, you should consider their

placement carefully, taking into account the location of

electrical, plumbing and other xtures. Contact your Dealer

for assistance if you are unsure of the best location for your

particular listening environment.

Placement In Ceiling: When placing your speakers into the

ceiling, they should ideally be located above the primary lis-

tening area. If the speakers are positioned far away from the

primary listening area, adjust the pivoting tweeters so they are

pointed towards it.

Note: To avoid possible damage to the pivoting tweeters, read the

section entitled “SPEAKER ADJUSTMENTS” in this manual prior to

performing the tweeter adjustment.

In a very large room with high ceilings, it may be necessary to

place additional speakers throughout the room. Contact your

Procient Audio Systems Dealer for assistance.

New Construction - Unnished Ceilings

A Pre-Construction Bracket, available from your Dealer, may

be installed prior to drywall application across joists (up to

24" on-center) where a speaker will be located. After the hole

is cut and the drywall is installed, the speakers are then easily

installed following the instructions for mounting in “Finished

Ceilings” below. Note: If the speakers are to be mounted more

than 24" on-center, a special “Extra Long Wing” is available from

your Dealer.

Finished Ceilings

Prior to the actual installation of the speakers, it will be neces-

sary to run cables to the speaker locations. See your Dealer for

more information about cable installation. After the cable has

been properly installed, you are ready to mount the speakers.

Following the simple steps listed below will result in a profes-

sional looking installation:

1. Determine the best area to mount your speakers. This area

of the ceiling should be free of obstructions such as electri-

cal conduit, HVAC ducts, or water lines. This can best be

determined by noting the placement of xtures and gaining

access to an attic or crawl space for further analysis of the

location of such obstacles.

2. Find the joists nearest the desired speaker mounting loca-

tion. We highly recommend using a good stud-nder tool

for this procedure. If you are lining up the speakers to some

other object or molding in the room, make sure you con-

sider the size of the bae ange which extends beyond the

mounting hole.

3. Mark the hole. A template for setting the hole is provided

in the box (along with two paint mask inserts for use when

painting). Position the template in the desired position and

pencil an outline on the ceiling.

4. Cutting the hole. CAUTION: This is the most important part

of the entire installation. If you are not certain whether any

obstructions exist behind the desired mounting area, you

should start by cutting a small hole in the center of your

penciled mounting hole with a drywall saw, cutting at a 45˚

angle towards the inside of the hole. (See Diagram 1) Cutting

the small hole at this angle will make drywall repair much

easier, using the piece cut out. Once you have determined

that there aren’t any obstructions in your desired mounting

location, start cutting the nished hole at a 90˚ angle to the

ceiling surface.

5. Add insulation. If the area in the ceiling is not already

insulated, add an adequate amount insulation material to

loosely cover the back of the speaker. If the insulation mate-

rial used is faced with foil or paper, position the foil or paper

away from the speaker.

The Ceiling Series speakers come from the factory with the

tweeter facing straight out from the bae. This will result

in the overall smoothest response. However, depending on

your particular primary listening area, room acoustics, ceiling

height, or personal preference, you may nd the sound more

pleasing by pointing the tweeters in a particular direction. If

additional treble is desired in the primary listening area, point

the tweeter towards that area; and if less treble is required,

point the tweeter away. Push gently at the edge of the tweeter

to point it in the desired direction. (See Diagram 2)

CAUTION: Avoid touching metal dome tweeters, as damage

may occur (C640, C645, C800, and C850).

Tweeter Adjustment (C640, C645, C800, & C850):

The switch labeled TREBLE allows for 3dB of treble adjustment.

Your speakers were shipped with the treble switch in the “–”

position, providing the most linear frequency response. If you

desire more treble, move the switch to the “+” position, and the

tweeter will play 3dB higher. To return to the neutral setting,

push the switch back to the “–” position. (See Diagram 3)

Woofer Adjustment (C640, C645, C800, & C850):

The switch labeled BASS allows for 3dB of bass adjustment.

Your speakers were shipped with the bass set to “–”. This set-

ting provides the attest bass frequency response. If you desire

more bass, push the switch to the “+” position and the bass

will play 3dB higher. To return to the neutral setting, push the

switch back to the “–” position. (See Diagram 3)

The unique integral four-foot mounting system incorporated

into each Ceiling Series speaker allows for a quick installation

by following these easy steps:

1. Remove the grille. It may be necessary to push one or two

of the mounting screws and its attached foot towards the

bae and against the inside surface of the grille to force the

grille out of its retaining groove.

2. Attach the speaker cable (observing the proper polarity with

your amplier, + to + and – to –). Make sure the left channel

of the amplier is connected to the left speaker, and the right

channel is connected to the right speaker.

3. Make sure the mounting feet are turned inward to clear the

opening, and insert the speaker into the ceiling. Position the

speaker into the hole.

Note: The ange of the speaker is designed to ex and conform

to any small imperfections in the ceiling’s surface. Tighten the

four screws on the front of the bae only enough to make the

ange become snug against the ceiling. As you tighten the

screws, the feet will automatically ip into an outward position

(See Diagram 4), thereby clamping the drywall between the feet

and the ange. CAUTION: Over-tightening may warp the

bae, crack the ceiling, cause the ange to distort, and

make the grille dicult to install.

4. Push the grille rmly into the slot in the speaker bae.

If you plan to paint your speakers, we recommend that it be

done prior to installation. If you plan to paint your speakers

sometime in the future, it is best to remove them by simply

reversing the steps for “SPEAKER INSTALLATION” above.

If it is necessary to paint the speakers when they are in the

ceiling, the paint masks provided in the carton must be

installed between the grille and ange while they are being

painted with the ceiling.

Before painting your speakers, remove the white acoustic blan-

ket under the grilles. Once the speakers have been painted,

return the acoustic blanket back into place.

Great care should be taken not to clog the holes of the grille,

as this will reduce the sound quality of the speakers.

Procient recommends only light spray painting using 5 parts

thinning agent to 1 part paint.
