Califone CS308 Rev 01 0309  
While holding the assembly in place on the back side of the tile, place the  
speaker assembly through the hole and attach to the Circular Speaker Bracket  
using the four screws on the outer edge of the speaker. Be careful not to tighten  
the screws too far to avoid damaging the tile. Do not attempt to bend or reshape  
the Circular Speaker Bracket, as doing so may cause the speaker to fall.  
Unpacking the Unit  
Inspect the unit once the packaging has been opened for any damage  
occurred during shipping & contact us immediately. Please keep the packing  
material for further use.  
Replace the tile, making certain to position the Bridge Brackets ends so that the  
frame is supporting them at all four points.

Black adhesive for attaching speaker grille  
Cardboard template / paint mask  
Installing in a Sheetrock (Plasterboard) Wall or Ceiling  
Please note that the speaker can be installed in walls or ceilings with a  
maximum thickness of 1.25 inches. In buildings with older lathe-and-

installation.  
CS308-MNT Contents:  
Circular Speaker Bracket  
(2) Tile Bridge Brackets  
(4) screws for attaching Speaker Bracket to Tile Bridge Brackets  
(4) nuts for screws  
After you've chosen your ideal speaker locations, use a stud finder to  
locate the studs in that area of the wall or ceiling. Inspect the selected  
area for AC circuitry, water pipes and other infrastructure. When drilling  
into walls or ceilings, use caution to avoid damaging these items.  
To make sure the area behind your wall is clear, drill a hole in the center  
of the template.  
Bend a wire coat hanger to 90 degrees, so that the end of it meets the  
edge of the circle you’ve drawn.  
Insert the wire into the hole and rotate it 360 degrees to make explore  
the area for obstructions.  
Speaker with Cover Assembly  
Speaker Grille Removal Tool  
If it’s clear, you can then use a drywall saw to cut the speaker hole. (Hint:  
drill a hole along the circumference of the circle to create a starting point  
for your saw.)  
Do not cut any drywall until you've drilled pilot holes and checked all of  
your desired speaker locations. If one location doesn’t work, you might  
need to move others as well.  
Do not discard the cut away piece of drywall until you’ve completed the  
job, in case you need to use some for patching.  
Tile Bridge Bracket  
Circular Speaker Bracket  
Position the speaker into the hole and tighten the four screws on the  
outer edge to secure it to the wall or ceiling. Be careful not to tighten the  
screws too far to avoid damaging the wall or ceiling.

Before installing your speaker, make sure that you have a thorough  
understanding of local building and fire codes. Improper installation can  
cause serious injury. Use only industry approved mounting methods and  
hardware.  
Califone cannot be held responsible for improper installation or  
subsequent damage.  
Installing in an Acoustic or Drop Ceiling  
Determining Placement  
The acoustic tiles of a drop ceiling are typically not dense or sturdy enough to  
support the weight of the speaker. For installation in a drop ceiling, use of the  
CS308-MNT mounting bracket is required for safety.  
For stereo music listening, it’s best to position the speakers in the ceiling  
or wall, slightly in front of the listening area, rather than directly overhead.  
Do not install the CS308 speaker in a drop ceiling without the mounting  
bracket, as it can pose a potential safety hazard if it falls.  
For surround sound systems, locate the front channels (left, right and  
center) in the ceiling or wall toward the front of the listening area. Locate  
the rear (left and right) speakers slightly behind the main listening area.  
The mounting bracket kit is designed to fit a standard drop ceiling with 24” x 24” or  
24” x 48” panels. The 24” cross braces fit directly over the drop ceiling’s tile frame.  
Please note that the speaker can be installed in ceiling tiles with a maximum  
thickness of 1.25 inches.  
Preparing the Speaker  
Once you have selected a location for your speaker, remove the inner cardboard  
disk from the included paint mask and use it as a template to trace the cutout  
area.  
Remove the ceiling tile from the frame and carefully measure the position for the  
speaker cutout, using the template to trace the cutout area. Make certain to  
position the assembly directly over the desired cutout location.  
Attach both sides of the Circular Speaker Bracket to the Bridge Brackets using the  
included screws and nuts.  
If you choose to paint the speaker frame and grille, use the included cardboard  
paint mask to protect the speaker. Paint and allow to dry before installing.  
Use the enclosed grille remover tool, or insert paper clip into one of the grille  
holes and pull up. Alternatively, carefully twist (flex) the plastic outer frame back  
and forth to expose the edges of the grille, then lift to remove.
