Fast-installing speaker with SpeedMount from Extron
Published: PRODUCTS
Extron has released the SM 3: a new compact, ‘fast-installing’ flush mount speaker featuring an Extron SpeedMount system. The manufacturer reports that the pre-install set up process is the crucial factor when attributing to the speaker’s ‘quick-install’ process.
The SM 3 is an 8ohm speaker featuring a 7.6cm full-range driver and tuned bass port, a frequency response of 75hz to 18khz, and boasts a power rating of 15w continuous pink noise.
During the rough-in stage, electrical contractors can install a 0° or 10° mounting plate on a wall and terminate the speaker cable to the mount's integrated wiring contacts. Later, installers can slide the SM 3 speaker onto the mount and secure it into place, whilst automatically connecting it to the wiring contacts on the mounting plate.
The SpeedMount concealed mounting system is also said to contribute to a fast installation process, and Extron reports that the system also works to deter theft due to its concealment of the mounting hardware and speaker release mechanism. A release on the speaker baffle allows for quick removal from the mount, which is a feature also designed to deter theft.
The speaker is said to be suited for small to medium classrooms and conference rooms where surface mount speakers are desired, but wall space for speaker placement is limited. When used with the 0° mounting plate, the SM 3 protrudes less than 10cm from the wall to comply with ADA requirements on protrusion limits.
Sold in pairs, the SM 3 is available in a black or white finish, and includes a five year parts and labour warranty.
