Keep the phase guide protector in place until installation is complete.
Loudspeaker Placement
When installing the loudspeaker near a wall-ceiling interface, allow sufficient space for the grille overhang. The grille must
be flush with the ceiling surface so the magnets can fully engage.
Use the enclosed template to ensure appropriate dimensions for the loudspeaker cutout and placement.
1.
For EM90 or EM180 in ceiling tile: Place the loudspeaker
opening at least 114 millimeters (4.5 inches) from each
wall to allow space for the tile bridge.

≥ 114 mm
(4.5 in)
Note: Installation in close proximity to cooking surfaces where the loudspeaker may be directly exposed to cooking oils,
steam, vapor, or high heat such as in commercial cooking environments may decrease the performance or reliability of the
loudspeaker.
Using a Safety Cable
Some regional construction codes require the use of a secondary method of securing loudspeakers to support structures
to provide additional safety. Choose a mounting position, method, and hardware consistent with local building codes and
regulations.
Bose recommends using (1) a safety wire, (2) a safety cable, or (3) a threaded rod as a secondary securing mechanism.
See the diagrams below for safety attachment points.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for any secondary securing mechanism implemented.
