Installation
The OCS1 can be installed in a variety of ceiling environments.The use of theTBCR
(Tile Bridge Support Ring) accessory may be desired for many of these environments.
For suspended ceilings, the use of a TBCR is strongly recommended to
help support and distribute the weight of the speaker.
In new construction installations, the TBCR, installed before sheetrock, acts as a
routing template that ensures an accurate and neat hole for installation.The TBCR
can also be used as a support ring in retrofit applications to better distribute the
speaker’s clamping forces.
IMPORTANT
•
•
There must be a minimum of 11" of vertical clearance between the FRONT
of the mounting surface and any other structure for the speaker to fit. Before
cutting the full hole, use a smaller exploratory hole to determine if there are
any obstructions.
The edge of the hole must be a minimum of 1-¼" away from any side obstruc-
tions to ensure that they will not interfere with the action of the clamps.
1. Begin by cutting a 10-¾" circular hole where the OCS1 will be installed. If using
aTBCR,then follow its installation instructions for the specific type of environment
the OCS1 is being installed in.
2. Make electrical connections to the pluggable terminal strip and plug it onto the
OCS1. See SpeakerWiring section.
3. Install terminal cover plates, if necessary or desired, using 4 screws. See the
Terminal Covers section if using conduit or if it is required to secure the speaker
directly to the structure (typically for suspended ceilings).
4. Remove the speaker’s grille. See Speaker Grille Installation & Removal section.
5. Set the power level using the rotary selector switch on the front panel. Refer to
the Selecting Power Levels section for instructions on selecting the power level.
6. Position the swing-out clamps so that they are against the body of the speaker
and insert the speaker into its opening in the ceiling.
7. Tighten the clamps by turning the clamping screws clockwise. Do not over-tighten
the clamps - only tighten until the speaker is fairly snug in the mounting hole. If
using an electric driver, set the clutch on the driver to the lowest setting.
8. Re-install the speaker’s grille. See Speaker Grille Installation & Removal section.

Speaker Wiring
All wiring should be done prior to installation
and then plugged into the rear of the OCS1.
Wiring is terminated at a snap-lock input
connector. There are two positive and two
negative terminals to accommodate daisy-
chaining of speakers in a system.
Daisy-Chaining
The OCS1’s snap-lock input connector allows
for easy daisy-chaining of speakers by providing
a second terminal of each polarity. See the
figures to the right and below for correct
wiring for daisy-chaining of terminals.
Speaker Phasing
Keep the same polarity terminals wired together to ensure correct phasing. In order
to provide the best possible sound, all of the speakers in a system need to be
pushing out and pulling in at the same time.
If the connections to one speaker in a system are reversed from the others, that
speaker’s movement will be out of sync with the other speakers.This will result in a
loss of low frequency response and will effect the overall performance of the system.
Terminal Covers
•
The two terminal cover halves are attached to the back of the speaker using 4
screws. It is important that all 4 screws be used to mount the covers.
•
A slot between the two halves allows the wire to exit the speaker while
protecting the connections.The cover's eyelets can be used to anchor the wire
using a wire tie if desired.
•
•
If local codes require the use of a conduit for connections or strain relief of the
connections, a knockout can be removed and a proper fitting installed for the
particular situation.
Eyelets are provided on the terminal covers to provide a means of securing the
speaker to the structure when necessary.It is important that all 4 terminal cover
attaching screws be installed in this application.

Selecting Power Levels
The front-mounted selector switch is used to
set the appropriate power level or impedance
for your system. Using a small, flat-blade
screwdriver, turn the knob until the slot points
to the power level you require.
70V/100V Systems
Both power setting scales for 70V and 100V
systems are labeled on the speakers. On the 100V
scale, the last position clockwise is marked with a
symbol. Do not use this position in 100V
systems.
Ω
16 Systems
The fully counterclockwise position of the setting switch is the 16-ohm position.This
setting is suitable for use with low-impedance amplifiers that typically support 4- or
8-ohm speakers.The speaker’s higher,16-ohm impedance makes it easier to combine
multiple speakers into series-parallel networks while keeping the total system
impedance at a level suitable for low-impedance amplifiers.
Speaker Grille Installation & Removal
Installation
The speaker grille fits tightly! Push the speaker grille
in until it can go no further. Then, slap around the
edge of the grille to seat the grille.The grille is prop-
erly seated when it is flush with the edge of the bezel.
Removal
Insert a pocketknife blade between the grille and the
1
bezel about a /4" deep and then gently pry the grille
upwards. Do this in multiple places around the
circumference of the grille to free the grille.
