Introduction

Please read this manual before using the product in order to give you the needed
product and installation instruction to assure a seamless installation and non
compromised overall sound quality.

Thanks for purchasing our APart SM6 speaker, a small sized on wall speaker
developed for multipurpose BGM and paging usage. The APart SM6 has been
designed and engineered in our Belgian headquarters. The APart SM6 range offers
you many options to ensure you have the right speaker for the right application.
The design is kept deliberately discrete in order not to draw attention. A well
appreciated feature for the installers is that you don´t need any hardware or
tools to connect the speaker wires nor to select the power tap of choice on the
transformer.

Safety precaution

• Keep this manual for future reference.

• Clean only with dry cloth

• When making the hole in your ceiling to mount the APart CM4, make sure

there is sufficient clearance behind the ceiling (no obstructions like A/C
channels, power lines etc,.)

• Take care of your speaker wires, they should be free of damage. Damaged
speaker wires might result in poor sound quality and can damage amplifiers.

• Only use accessories specified by the manufacturer

• Make sure the ceiling can support the speakers weight.

• Use sufficient amount of speakers to avoid death-spots.

• No main power shall be connected to the loudspeakers, doing so will damage

the speaker.

• This apparatus should only be serviced by qualified personnel. If not warranty
might be void.

• The speaker grill is fixed, removing it will damage the speaker.

• Use cable of the right gauge, certainly for long runs.

• Use cables with clear color indication and maintain polarity throughout the

box has been damaged, inform your shipper immediately.
