How to Install Electro-Voice EVID C6.2

• Plan the installation carefully by selecting a location away from structural obstructions and ensuring there is access to wiring. Confirm the ceiling cutout size specified by Electro-Voice and verify that the chosen location can accommodate the tile bridge and mounting ring.
• Power down the amplifier and electrical supplies before beginning work. Gather all components (bezel, grille, tile bridge, mounting ring) and the speaker wire with the appropriate gauge for your installation.
• Prepare the ceiling by cutting the proper opening and cleaning the edges to ensure a clean seal. Feed the speaker wire through the cutout, leaving enough length to connect to the speaker’s terminals once positioned.
• Connect the wiring to the EVID C6.2 terminal block or binding posts, observing proper polarity for reliable channel operation. Double-check all connections to prevent intermittent sound or phase issues when the grille is mounted.
• Attach the tile bridge and mounting ring within the ceiling opening, following the included hardware instructions for secure fixation. Carefully align the bezel assembly with the cutout and slide it into place, ensuring a flush, professional finish.
• Mount the grille and verify the fit. If required, apply appropriate sealing or acoustic sealant around the housing to minimize air leaks while maintaining accessibility for future servicing. Power up the system and begin with a conservative level, then adjust using the front baffle wattage taps to suit the room size and desired loudness.
• Test with a variety of content, including speech and music, to confirm uniform coverage and intelligibility. If necessary, tune the amplifier’s EQ or levels to further optimize performance for the specific installation environment.
