Kramer Electronics SKIC - Manual

SKIC Speaker Mounting Kit
Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer SKIC Speakers Mounting Kit which is used for
securing in-ceiling speakers to the ceiling T-channel grid.
The back can speakers are supported by a C-ring and two tile rails
1 . When mounting onto the
ceiling tiles 2 , use both supports. When mounting onto a sheetrock ceiling, the C-ring alone is used
to reinforce the ceiling material.
The
SKIC includes:
Four support ring screws Two ceiling support rings (C-ring) Two pairs of tile rails
Installing the Speakers Mounting Kit
The SKIC is installed after cutting the opening in the ceiling tile for the speakers.
To install the SKIC, as illustrated in the example in Figure 1, do the following:
1. Place the C-ring over the hole cut in the ceiling tile (on the “ceiling” side). Place it
around the hole so that the tabs are located in parallel to the tile edges.

2. Place the tile rails on the tile and snap them into the two tabs on the C-ring.
Align the rails so that the ends extend over the T-channel grid.
3. Insert a screw through each tab on the C-ring to secure the rails.
1 The tile rails prevent the speakers from falling if the tile itself comes out or falls apart, as their ends catch onto the T-grid
2 Be sure that the tiles can support the speaker. Smaller sized tiles or fiberglass-type tiles cannot support the weight of the speakers. In such a
case, the speakers will require additional support
4. Push the speaker into the ceiling hole until the front baffle rim is leveled with the
ceiling.
5. Tighten the mounting tabs (see Figure 2).
When tightening the mounting tabs, the tabs automatically turn outward, thus
clamping the speaker to the wall from its rear side.
Note: Do not over-tighten the mounting tabs. It may cause damage to both the
speakers and the surface.
