CLOUD 4 and CLOUD 6 PRODUCT FEATURES

Thank you for purchasing your new COMMUNITY CLOUD SERIES High Output Ceiling Speakers.

The CLOUD 4 and CLOUD 6 ceiling speakers are high output devices, intended to meet the needs of

the professional sound contractor. Operational in both 16 ohm and 70V

formats, the 6.5” woofer and high output co-axially mounted ¾” tweeter will

deliver high quality sound over a wide coverage area.

Your CLOUD speaker comes complete with all the necessary mounting

hardware, and can be flush-mounted into any ceiling type, or alternatively it can be suspended in an

open ceiling situation. In addition, a paint cover cap is included which can be used to cover the

speaker when painting the bezel and grille to match any ceiling color.

CLOUD 4 and CLOUD 6 – Installation Guide

INSTALLATION AND WIRING

The COMMUNITY speaker installation system for CLOUD 4 and CLOUD 6 has been designed so

that the entire installation can be done from beneath the ceiling. In some cases, with a suspended grid

ceiling, it may be easier to access from both the top and bottom of the ceiling tile during the

installation process. Typical installation hardware needed for either suspended ceilings or sheetrock

ceilings is included.

Cut out the hole either by tracing the

cardboard cutout template included

with your speakers, or with a

circular cutter set to the appropriate

cutout size (the Community hole

saw, model CU-CUTTER, is

designed to make the perfect size

hole).

NOTE: The cut out diameters for

the CLOUD 4 and 6 speakers are as

follows:

•CLOUD 4: 7 inches

•CLOUD 6: 8 ¾ inches.

If the wiring had been pre-installed,

pull the wiring through the cutout

hole.

Figure 3 – Cut ceiling hole

All COMMUNITY CLOUD 4 and CLOUD 6 speakers come packaged with two types of backing

hardware:

1 Split Ring (a c–shaped backing plate) and

2 Tile Rails

Suspended Ceilings – Insert the Split Ring through the hole cut in the ceiling tile. Place the Split

Ring around the hole with the tabs located as shown in Figure 4. Insert the tile rails through the hole

cut in the ceiling tile. Snap the two rails into the two tabs in the Split Ring and align the rails so that

the ends extend OVER the T-channel grid on the side of the tile. Secure the rails onto the Split Ring

tabs by inserting a screw through each tab into the rail, as shown in Figure 4.

This can all be accomplished from below the ceiling tile if necessary.

Step 1 Cut the Hole

Step 2 Install Split Ring and/or Tile Rails

ALL included support brackets –Split Ring and Tile Rails- MUST be used when installing

into suspended ceiling tiles. A support safety line must always be installed (see Step 6)

FOR SAFETY TIP: IMPORTANT TO USE ALL BRACKETS

CLOUD 4 and CLOUD 6 – Installation Guide

INSTALLATION AND WIRING

Figure 4- Secure rails to split ring

Non-Suspended Ceiling Types –The split ring can be used by itself to reinforce the ceiling

material and to spread out the pressure from the speaker hold-down tabs. Insert the split ring through

the hole cut in the ceiling and place it on the back side of the hole before inserting the speaker.

Vibration Reduction:

These loudspeakers can generate

substantial vibration, which can

cause buzzing of the ceiling

materials or structure. Depending

on the character of the ceiling tile

and structure, the installer might

need to place neoprene or other

dampening material under the tile

rails or the edges of the tiles to

eliminate rattles.

Cutout Placement:

The tile rails are pre-punched with

attachment holes along their length.

Placement is not limited to the

center of the tile as is the case with

many other tile rail support

systems.

Tile Rails: The tile rails are designed to fit either standard 24-inch wide tiles or

600mm wide tiles. The tile rail pieces do NOT physically attach to the T-grid

struts. Instead, the inverted-V shape at the ends of the rails sit OVER the T-grid

strut. Normally, the rails are supported by the edge of the ceiling tile. In the

unlikely event that the tile comes out or falls apart, the ends of the support rails are

designed to catch onto the T-grid, providing secure support to hold the loudspeaker

assembly in place.

CLOUD 4 and CLOUD 6 – Installation Guide

INSTALLATION AND WIRING

Remove the rear cover plate, complete with wire strain relief, by loosening the two screws holding it

in place, and sliding the plate off. Once the cover is removed, open the strain relief fitting by

loosening the horizontal screws.

Run the speaker wires through the strain relief opening. After passing about 4 to 6 inches of wire

through the fitting, tighten the screws on the strain relief to secure the fitting and back plate to the

speaker wire. DO NOT overtighten or you may damage the wire jacket, a snug fit is all that is

required.

Figure 6 – Running wires through opening in strain relief fitting

Tightening onto flexible or hard conduit – The supplied fitting accommodates up to 3/8 inch

(9.5mm) flexible conduit. Insert the conduit into the strain relief fitting. Using the two horizontal

screws that clamp the fitting together, clamp the conduit securely between them. Be sure to leave at

least 4 to 6 inches of cable beneath the strain relief fitting.

Step 3 Expose the input-terminal on the rear of the speaker

CLOUD 4 and CLOUD 6 – Installation Guide

INSTALLATION AND WIRING

Connect the end of the wiring to the removable

locking connector that is included with the

speaker by stripping the insulation back about

5mm (1/5 inch), inserting the bare end of the

wire into the connector and screwing down the

hold-down screw until tight. Tighten any

unused screws to avoid vibration.

Step 4 Attach Wiring to the Removable Locking Connector

CAUTION:

ALWAYS USE THE

PROPER FITTING IN

ACCORDANCE WITH

YOUR AREA’S

BUILDING CODES

ND REGULATIONS

Using an Alternate Fitting – the existing strain relief

fitting accommodates many common fitting requirements.

Sometimes, alternate fittings are required, such as for

larger diameter conduit or to meet specific code

requirements.

In these cases, the existing fitting can be easily replaced

with a number of available off-the-shelf fittings. Simply

remove the existing fitting by unscrewing the two hold-

down screws, exposing a 7/8 inch (22mm) knockout hole.

Then, install the alternate fitting.

INSTALLATION AND WIRING

Guide to the Pins for Connection

The removable locking input connector contains 4 terminals. These are numbered on the connector.

The label located on the terminal cover plate lists the pin functions.

Pins 2 & 3 are the “+” and “-” inputs to the speaker. Pins 2 & 3 are connected to pins 1 & 4

respectively (i.e. Pin 1 connects to Pin 2 and Pin 3 connects to Pin 4) inside the speaker. Pins 1 & 4

are intended as loop-through connections to other loudspeakers. There are two possible layouts for

wiring a group of speakers. Choose whichever hookup pattern accommodates your installation best.

Parallel Wiring:

Connect the wire pair of the subsequent speaker to pins 2 & 3 (in parallel with the input wiring). In

this hook-up scheme, no wires get connected to pins 1 & 4.

PARALLEL WIRING

Whenever the

connector is pulled out

of the speaker for

troubleshooting,

subsequent speakers

will stay connected. It

can be useful during

troubleshooting to be

able to disconnect a

single speaker at a time.

INSTALLATION AND WIRING

Daisy-chain Wiring (Using Loop-Through Terminals - Pins 1 & 4):

To daisy-chain the wiring, connect the wire pair of the follow-on speaker to pins 1 and 4.

With all wiring to the connector completed, plug the connector into the socket in the speaker’s

terminal cup. Remember to tighten any loose screws to eliminate any vibration. Slip the input

terminal cover back onto the rear of the speaker and tighten the two screws that keep it in place.

DAISY CHAIN WIRING

By connecting the wire pair

of the subsequent speaker to

pins 1 & 4, then all

subsequent speakers will be

disconnected when this

speaker’s connector is

disconnected during

troubleshooting. This can

be a useful way to isolate

problems to a section of the

distributed line while

leaving the wires attached

to the connector.
