SELECTING SPEAKER MOUNTING LOCATIONS
One TCQ speaker will distribute sound throughout a classroom of up to 1,200 sq 
(112 sq m). The location of the speaker is important to ensure even sound distribution.
Ceiling height should be 9 - 12  (2.75m - 3.75m).
1. Identify the center of the of the classroom for optimum location.
2. Select a ceiling tile that is free from fixtures (lighting, HVAC, etc.) within a 6  (1.8m)
radius nearest to the center point.
3. Remove the selected ceiling tile for speaker installation.
GRID CEILING INSTALLATION (U.S. & CANADA ONLY)
The dimensions of the TCQ are 1’ x 2’. It is designed to fit into any
standard 2’ X 4’, or 2’ X 2” suspended ceiling tile grid.
1. The ceiling tile will need to be cut to accommodate the TCQ
2. Set the ceiling tile on a flat work surface with the patterned side
facing down.
3. Using a straight edge, cut a 1’ x 2’ section from the ceiling tile,
creating a 1’ x 2’ section and a 3’ x 2’ section, or two 1’ x 2’
sections depending on the size of your tiles.
4. Locate the 2’ ceiling grid t-bar attachment. Locate the
attachment slots in the existing ceiling grid and snap the new
T-bar into place to create a 1’ x 2’ and 2’ x 3’ sections, or two 1’ x
2’ sections.
