How to install Quam SYSTEM 19

Installing the Quam SYSTEM 19 in a drop-ceiling environment is designed to be straightforward and minimally disruptive. Follow these general steps to achieve a secure, optimized installation that preserves ceiling aesthetics while delivering dependable audio performance.

• Plan the installation by assessing the ceiling layout, electrical wiring, and the intended acoustic coverage. Confirm that the 2' x 2' tile replacement format is appropriate for the space and that the amplifier or mixer can drive the 70V/8 Ohm configuration as required.
• Power down the audio system and prepare the ceiling tile opening. Remove the existing tile and verify structural support in the ceiling cavity to ensure a stable mount for the enclosure.
• Connect the speaker’s transformer leads to the building’s audio wiring according to the chosen configuration. For 70V operation, use the appropriate 70V tap on the rotary transformer; for direct 8 Ohm use, connect to the 8 Ohm tap as needed. Ensure secure, code-compliant wiring practices.
• Insert the molded fiber enclosure into the opening, align the tile frame, and secure the speaker with the included mounting hardware to maintain a flush, clean appearance with the surrounding ceiling.
• Reinstall the ceiling tile, then power on the system and perform a sound check. Adjust the transformer tap settings and volume to achieve balanced coverage, clear intelligibility, and comfortable listening levels throughout the space.
