How to Install Electro-Voice EVID C12.2
- Plan the placement: Select a ceiling location that provides even coverage for the intended listening area, avoiding joists and ensuring a clear path for wiring. Verify the structural support for the 3/8" threaded-rod mounting points.

- Run the wiring: Route the speaker cable from your amplifier or speaker distribution hub to the ceiling opening, ensuring adequate conductor gauge for your system’s power and distance. Maintain proper polarity by marking positive and negative conductors.
- Mount the speaker: Attach the mounting ring to the ceiling opening, then secure the enclosure using the 3/8" threaded-rod points. Adjust the rods to achieve a flush, level installation with the ceiling plane and minimal visible gaps.
- Connect and test: Make the speaker connections to the binding posts or terminals, ensuring solid, secure contacts. Restore power to the system, and perform a test sweep to verify frequency response, balance, and overall clarity. Fine-tune the amplifier settings for optimal performance.
