The 2x2 fine - perforation grille in white provides maximum free - air space for excellent sound transmission and has an unobtrusive look in new or existing tile ceilings. Mounting is made easier with restraint tabs. This speaker system directly replaces a 2'x2' ceiling tile. It comes with a factory - mounted driver on a sub - plate and a fine - perforation steel grille finished in white powder epoxy.

Using the Lowell LT2 - 830 - TM16 - Vb speaker is quite simple. First, remove the 2x2 non - tegular ceiling tile where you want to install the speaker. Then, place the speaker assembly in the opening. The restraint tabs will help you secure it in place. Connect the driver leads to your audio system, following the instructions for the 70V transformer taps (4, 8, or 16W). When it comes to maintenance, keep the grille clean. You can gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they might damage the grille's finish. Check the backbox regularly for any signs of damage or loose connections. If you notice any issues with the sound quality, such as distortion or low volume, check the connections and the audio source. Also, make sure the speaker is not overloaded by using a power source that exceeds its 20 - watt rating.
