Use multiple pairs for optimum coverage in large rooms. Figure 2 Installation Overview The CS100 Ceiling Loudspeaker System is designed to mount into the ceiling of a typical room. Before choosing the location in the ceiling for the CS100, it is important to read "Location in the Room" for the best possible performance. When mounting the Ceiling Loudspeaker System to a building structure, it is important to follow all of the local building/construction codes. Make sure the ceiling structural members can support a weight of 45 pounds (five times the net weight) for each CS100. The ceiling thickness should be a minimum of 3/8 inch (0. 95cm) for secure mounting of the CS100. It is recommended that the Professionals at your McIntosh Dealer, who are skilled in all aspects of installation and operation, install the CS100 Loudspeaker System and any associated audio equipment. Location in the Room Do to the nature of installing the CS100 Ceiling Loudspeaker System, it is important to consider any possible future changes likely to be made to the room, like furniture placement, before deciding on the locations for the CS100s. The tweeter and midrange baffle of the Loudspeaker have been angled to deliver accurate onaxis response to the listening position. Figure 1 The baffle must be properly positioned to deliver the best sound. Refer to the dispersion pattern in figure 1. 4 For use in a Home Theater When using the CS100 as a front or main Loudspeaker keep the Loudspeakers as close to the front wall as possible. Ideally, the center Loudspeaker should be located on the same plane as the television or projection screen. The left and right Loudspeakers should be positioned no farther in Figure 3 than the outside of the screen or monitor. When using the CS100 as a surround Loudspeaker, the CS100 can be used as either a direct or diffuse surround Loudspeaker. For direct operation, direct the Loudspeaker Figure 4 baffle toward the listening area as illustrated in figure 3. For a diffused surround sound operation, direct the Loudspeaker baffle toward a back wall or corner as illustrated in figure 4. Installation Painting the Loudspeaker The CS100 Ceiling Loudspeaker System is primed and may be painted before or after installation. Insert the supplied paint shield into the frame of the Loudspeaker. Paint the frame with light coats, to help prevent excessive paint buildup and "runs" on the frame. After the paint has dried, use the finger pulls to remove the paint shield. Carefully remove the cloth from the inside of the grille. Paint the grille with very light coats, to help prevent paint from filling the holes in the grille. After the paint is dry, reinstall the previously removed grille cloth. Installing the Loudspeaker Follow the instructions below for installation using appropriate tools. If the optional RK100 Rough-In Kit Bracket has been previously installed, go directly to step 6: 1.
