2.1
Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
•
Use only good quality connection cables (such as the Kramer BC-2S) to
avoid interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and
elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)
•
•
Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely
influence signal quality
•
Position your Kramer SPK-C613 away from moisture, excessive sunlight
and dust
To ensure that you obtain the best sound results, do not open the
housing of the passive speaker or the active speaker.

Overview
The SPK-C613 speakers include a pair of high performance Open-back Ceiling
speakers that can be mounted on the ceiling. The optional Kramer Suspended
Ceiling Speaker Mounting Kit (SKIC) can safely secure the speakers to the ceiling
as well. The SPK-C613 speakers feature a multi tap power transformer for
selecting 8Ω (bypassing the transformer) or 70V/100V power settings suitable for
array installation.
Figure 1 shows an example of how the Open-back Ceiling speakers can be
installed in a boardroom setup:

Each Open-back ceiling speaker is supported by a C-ring and two tile rails. 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.
When mounting onto the ceiling tiles, use both supports. When mounting onto a
sheetrock ceiling, the C-ring alone is used to reinforce the ceiling material.
Be sure that the tiles can support the speaker. Smaller sized tiles or
fiberglass-type tiles cannot support the weight of the speakers.
i
When this is the case, the speakers will need additional support.

Installing the Open-back Ceiling Speakers
This section explains how to install the Open-back ceiling speakers, that is:
•
•
•
•
•
5.1
Choosing the Best Location
Ideally, locate the speakers above the main listening area. Before doing so, be
sure that:
•
The desired location is free of obstructions, such as electrical piping, AC
ducts or water lines, and so on
•
•
There is enough space behind the mounting surface for the speakers
The rear side of the speaker is not blocked by wall studs or other objects
5.2
Cutting the Ceiling Tile
To cut the ceiling tile, do the following:
1. Remove the circle in the supplied template.
Keep this template for later use as a mask, as you may want to paint the speakers (see
2. Mark the opening in the correct location by tracing the hole in the template.
3. Cut out the hole according to the template or with a circular cutter set to the
appropriate cutout size.
Initially, you can cut a smaller area inside the marked hole just to be sure that the
space above the speakers is clear
4. Route the wiring from the amplifier to the speakers’ cutout holes, taking care
not to place them next to electrical wires or at least at a distance of about
two feet from an AC line.

Do not nail or staple the speaker wires.
!
If you are mounting the speakers onto a ceiling tile, remove the ceiling tiles where
you plan to install the speakers. Use the template to trace and then cutout the
speaker hole over an empty box.
The open-back ceiling speakers are supported by the ceiling mounting kit (two
C-rings and two pairs of tile rails. 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). When
mounting onto the ceiling tiles, use both supports.
Be sure that the tiles can support the speaker. Smaller sized tiles or
fiberglass-type tiles cannot support the weight of the speakers.
i
When this is the case, the speakers will need additional support.
When mounting onto a sheetrock ceiling, the C-ring alone is used to reinforce the
ceiling material.
5.3
Mounting the Open Back Ceiling Speakers
To mount the Open-back Ceiling speakers, do the following:
1. Remove the grille over the speakers by inserting a paper clip into one of the
grille openings and pulling it upward.
2. Position the mounting tabs (see Figure 3) inward.

3. Adjust each speaker to the appropriate tap setting before installing the grille
Set the tap according to the power requirements of the speaker based on its location in
the room (for example, a speaker located in a remote corner would require additional
power)
Figure 4: Adjust Tap Selector
For 100V installations, DO NOT set the tapping switch beyond 30W.
!
Doing so may cause damage to both the speaker and the amplifier.
4. Insert the supplied screws into the screw openings from the front of the
speakers.
5. Connect the speaker wires to the speaker terminals.
6. Insert the speaker into the opening and tighten the screws.
When tightening the screws, the tabs automatically turn outward, thus
clamping the speaker to the wall from its rear side.
Do not over-tighten the screws. It may cause damage to both the
speakers and the surface.
i
7. Push the grille firmly into the slot in the speaker baffle.
5.3.1
Using the Suspended Ceiling Speaker Mounting Kit (Optional)
To install the Open-back ceiling speakers using the mounting kit, 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

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.
4. Connect the speaker wires to the speaker terminals.
5. Insert the speaker into the opening and tighten the screws.
When tightening the screws, the tabs automatically turn outward, thus
clamping the speaker to the wall from its rear side.
Do not over-tighten the screws. It may cause damage to both the
speakers and the surface.
i
6. Push the grille firmly into the slot in the speaker baffle.
Check that the grille is securely seated.
To remove the grille, insert two bent paper clips into the holes in the grille and carefully
pull it down. Repeat this around the perimeter of the grille until it is completely removed
5.4
Array Installation
When installing SPK-C613 in an array installation layout, you have to define the
distance between speakers as well as the layout pattern (square or hexagonal).
The distance between speakers is set according to the speakers’ dispersion angle

Figure 6: The Speaker Coverage Area
The coverage angle of the speaker determines the coverage area and the number
of speakers required in the array installation. Two patterns are usually used for
on the shape of the installation area. The speakers are positioned according to
their coverage area.

Figure 8: Hexagonal Layout
You can set the power on each speaker to get the desired power level in different
installation areas.

5.5
Painting the Speaker
You can paint the speakers before or after the speakers are installed. When
painting before installation:
•
Clean the rim and grille with mineral spirits or other light solvent that is
unlikely to damage the surface
•
Spray with color by holding the spray can at an angle of 45°
When spraying the grille, take care not to clog the holes in the grille
as this will greatly reduce the sound quality of the speakers.
i
When painting after installation:
•
•
Use the circle that you cut out of the template as a paint mask
After you finish painting, remove the paint mask
