4. Installation Guide

The CSD2X2 speaker system is designed for quick and efficient installation in suspended ceiling grids.

4.1. Installation in 2' x 2' Ceiling Grids

The 2' x 2' speaker unit is designed to fit directly into a standard 2' x 2' ceiling grid opening. No cutting of ceiling tiles or additional tile support rails are typically required.

2. Ensure all necessary wiring is accessible at the installation point.
3. Position the Bogen CSD2X2 speaker system into the opening, ensuring it rests securely on the ceiling grid.

4.2. Installation in 2' x 4' Ceiling Grids

For 2' x 4' ceiling grids, a simple modification and the included support rail are necessary.

1. Identify the center of a 2' x 4' ceiling tile where the speaker will be placed.
2. Make one cut to the ceiling tile to create a 2' x 2' opening.
3. Position the included support rail across the 2' x 4' grid to create a stable edge for the speaker.
4. Drop the Bogen CSD2X2 speaker system into the newly created 2' x 2' opening, ensuring it is securely supported by the grid and the support rail.

• Inspection: Annually inspect the speaker and its mounting for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Address any issues promptly.
• Environment: Ensure the speaker is used in an indoor environment, as it is not designed to be waterproof.
