2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The F-2322C2 and F-2352C2 are flush-mounted Ceiling Speaker Systems that offer wide frequency range
and high-quality sound output.
The F-2322C2 employs a full-range speaker element, while the F-2352C2 features a 2-way speaker
configuration.
Both speaker systems are designed to be mounted to a drop ceiling or to be hung from a ceiling depending on
applications and installation locations.
3. FEATURES
• Bass-reflex speaker system designed to provide a wide frequency range and high power handling capability.
• Wide-dispersion flush-mount ceiling speaker design employs unique acoustic construction to realize a wide
area of coverage. Uniform sound output levels are achievable not only directly under the speaker, but also
over a wide radius.
• Because the speaker is provided with both low- and high-impedance operating capability, it can be used in
many different applications. Front panel-mounted input selector switch permits easy verification and change
of current impedance settings, even after installation.
• Easy installation. Can be quickly and accurately mounted to ceilings and walls.
• Rotating front grille can be installed quickly and conveniently.
• Attractive exterior design specially created by an interior designer blends naturally with any architectural
space, enhancing the immediate area's sense of harmony.

5. INSTALLATION
When mounting the speaker to a ceiling, check in advance that the ceiling structure is of drop ceiling with
2-foot standard ceiling tiles.
The F-2322C2 and F-2352C2 can be mounted in 2 different configurations:
• Mounting to a drop ceiling
Use the supplied tile bridge.
If the mounting hole is larger than the specified diameter, use the optional HY-TR1 Trim Ring together
with the supplied tile bridge.
• Hanging from a ceiling suspension pipe (exposed installation)
Use the optional HY-BC1 Back Can.
Step 1. Cut a ø200 mm (7 7/8") hole in the ceiling.

Tip
The following matching cable types are recommended:
• Solid copper wire:
ø0.5 – ø1.6 mm (equivalent to AWG 24 – 14)
• Stranded copper wire: 0.2 – 2.5 mm2 (equivalent to AWG 24 – 14)
4-1. Detach the removable input connector from the
speaker's wiring socket, and loosen the screw of the
terminal to be used.

Insert the speaker through the mounting hole till it contacts
the ceiling panel. While doing so, avoid directly touching
the speaker element and diffuser section (F-2352C2 only).
WARNING
Never grab the F-2352C2's diffuser
section as a hand hold. The
speaker could fall due to damage,
resulting in possible personal injury.

Important
Never set this switch to low impedance (8 Ω or 16 Ω) when using a high impedance 25, 70, or 100 V
line. Failure to follow this instruction could result in damage to the speaker or amplifier.
Step 8. Attach the front grille.
Align the tabs (3 places) on the back side of the grille
with the corresponding notches in the unit, then rotate
the grille to full stop in the direction indicated by the
"LOCK" arrow.

Tip
The front grille employs a double-locking system that
clicks into place once partway through rotation, but
only locks into position at its point of full rotation.
Always be sure to rotate the grille to its full stop.

6. REMOVING THE SPEAKER FOR MAINTENANCE
6.1. Detaching the Front Grille
Turn the front grille counterclockwise to full stop, then lightly
pull it downward.
1 Unlock
Tip
The front grille employs a double-locking system.
If the grille cannot be detached when lightly pulled downward,
it likely has not yet been fully rotated back to the detachment
position. In such cases, take care to rotate the grill fully
counterclockwise in order to release the lock.

6.2. Removing the Speaker
Rotate the 3 mounting tab axis screws
counterclockwise. The mounting tabs rise as
they turn, allowing the speaker to be
removed.

Mounting tab
Cautions
• When loosening the mounting tab axis
screws, support the speaker by hand to
prevent it from falling.
• Be sure to set the screwdriver's torque for
under 4 kgf·cm.
Mounting tab axis screw
Failure to do so may cause the Screw cap
and the Mounting tab to fall off on the rear of
ceiling panel.
Use an electric screwdriver to detach.
7. REPAINTING THE SPEAKER
Follow the procedure below when repainting the front grille:
Step 1. Clean the front grille before painting.
Wipe with a soft cloth dampened in a detergent.
Caution
Do not use thinner or other volatile liquids to clean the grille.
Step 2. Spray on a uniform, thin coat of paint.
Cautions
• Avoid painting with a roller or brush, as the grille mesh holes could become clogged with paint.
• Use appropriate spray paints for the front grille (grille and frame) materials.
Grille: Rolled steel plate
Frame: Fire-resistant ABS resin (acrylic paint)
• Be sure to follow the directions indicated on the paint when painting.
Step 3. After the paint has dried, apply another light coat.
Caution
Repeating Step 2, apply two or more light coats of paint.
Application of one thick coat of paint all at once may cause drips or unevenness to show up in the
painted finish, or clog the mesh holes.

8. ABOUT THE INPUT OVERLOAD PROTECTION CIRCUITRY
Both the F-2322C2 and the F-2352C2 feature internal input overload protection circuitry. If an extremely high
input level is fed to the unit, the protection circuitry automatically cuts off the signal to the speaker element.
A drastic reduction in sound volume indicates that the protection circuitry has been enabled.
In such cases, simply reduce the amplifier volume. The protection circuitry will automatically reset in
approximately 10 seconds. After reset, try to maintain the volume at a level slightly lower than before.
Caution
This protection circuitry does not completely protect the unit against extremely high input power levels.
Depending on the type or duration of excessive power input, the protection circuitry might not be enabled,
resulting in damage to the speaker element. Also, if the excessive power input continues for a long period of
time, the circuitry may not be capable of resetting to its original condition.
Use the system with care so that the speakers are not exposed to excessive power input.
