How to install Quam BB2 Indoor Surface Mount Speaker

• Plan your layout: Choose installation locations that provide even audio coverage and account for room acoustics, furniture, and potential obstructions. Verify that the chosen ceiling or wall surface can support the backbox and mounting hardware.
• Power and wiring prep: Turn off the amplifier and power sources. Run appropriate speaker cable to each BB2 location, ensuring compatibility with 70V/25V distributed systems and the transformer taps you intend to use.
• Cut and open: If mounting in ceilings, carefully cut the opening sized for the backbox and BR8WS baffle. For wall mounting, prepare a compatible recessed or surface mount opening according to the backbox dimensions.
• Connect wiring: Terminate the speaker wires to the BB2’s input terminals, adhering to correct polarity. If using 70V/25V distribution, select the correct taps (5W per speaker or other configured values) on the TBLU transformer to achieve the desired overall system impedance and SPL handling.
• Mounting assembly: Insert the round steel backbox into the ceiling or wall opening and secure it with the included beam clamps. Attach the BR8WS baffle to the backbox, then align and secure the two beam clamps to lock the assembly in place.
• Final assembly and testing: Attach the 8" dual-cone driver assembly to the baffle as required, ensuring all fasteners are tight and there are no loose components. Restore power, test for balanced sound across the listening area, and adjust amplifier levels or transformer taps as needed for optimal coverage.
