The FAP42T combines superior coaxial loudspeaker performance with

wide dispersion and easy installation. A low profile enclosure and wide

coverage make the FAP42T a perfect choice for low ceilings. The FAP42T

will satisfy the needs of owners, architects, contractors, and consultants

by delivering true, high fidelity sound reproduction in an attractive and

easy-to-install system. The FAP42T is ideal for high-intelligibility voice,

music, and signal reproduction in commercial, industrial, and institutional

applications.

General Description

The FAP42T’s 130° dispersion angle effectively reduces the number of

loudspeakers necessary to achieve coverage in distributed systems with

low ceilings.

The loudspeaker component matches the performance of the legendary

Atlas Sound Strategy FA Series. High quality construction 4" coaxial cone

type driver includes a 1" voice coil and polypropylene cone with a butyl

rubber surround. The 19mm coaxially mounted tweeter is constructed of

PEI. A high sensitivity level means less power may be required to achieve

the desired SPL. This loudspeaker is factory assembled in an optimally

tuned & ported deep drawn enclosure and includes a specially designed

16 Watt low saturation 70.7V / 100V transformer. A convenient front

mounted selector switch allows tap selection without the need to remove

the speaker from the ceiling. This switch also includes a transformer

bypass setting for 8Ω direct coupled operation.

Mounting Accessories

Architect & Engineer Specications

Mounting is simplified with Strategy style “Dog Leg” tabs that allow

easy installation into drop tile or drywall ceilings with provided tile bridge

assembly. The tile bridge consists of two “V” shaped formed mounting

rails and a C-Ring assembly. The C-Ring can be attached to the rails with

the screws provided to extend support to the T-Bar grid in suspended

ceiling applications. Multiple hole locations are provided to allow the

C-Ring to be positioned to the outer edge the tile if necessary.

For existing dry-wall applications the tile bridge C-Ring and support rails

can be inserted into the hole cut for the FAP42T. For easy positioning the

“V” shaped support rails match the shape of the C-Ring tabs for easy

maneuvering and location when working “blindly” above the deck

A uniquely designed “easy access” input panel on the side of the

enclosure allows for “thru” conduit runs using flexible or rigid conduit.

Below this cover resides a detachable Phoenix style locking four-pole

connector which provides for easy daisy chain wiring to other full range

70.7V loudspeakers or Atlas Sound FAPSUB subwoofer. The package

includes an attractive press-fit grille which nicely matches contemporary

architecture.

For new construction drywall ceiling applications, the optional

FAP42-TR trim ring is available. This unit provides a marked location

for drywall installers to cut around essentially reserving the desired

location in the ceiling until final installation of FAP42T. Mounting holes are

provided to accommodate 16" or 24" OC stud / joist mounting.

A support ring is also provided on the top of the FAP42T enclosure

to facilitate an auxiliary support cable. It Is recommended that this

secondary support be utilized in drop ceilings for safety and seismic

considerations.

System shall include a high performance 4" coaxial loudspeaker,

ported bass reflex enclosure and press-fit grille for conventional ceiling

installation.

Frequency response for the system shall be 75Hz – 20kHz (±7dB).

Sensitivity shall be 88dB average. Loudspeaker shall be comprised of a

4" coaxial cone driver constructed of polypropylene with a butyl rubber

surround. The 19mm tweeter shall be constructed of PEI. Magnet shall

be a minimum of 10oz. (264g) and the voice coil diameter shall be 1"

(25mm).

Transformer shall be a 70.7V / 100V type with 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 watt

primary taps (@70.7V) with a front mounted tap selector switch to include

a transformer bypass setting for 8Ω / direct coupled operation.

Enclosure shall be a deep drawn steel enclosure design. Internal volume

shall be 285 in

shall be equipped with an access panel covering a recessed terminal

cup. This cover shall provide a combination 3/4" (19mm inside diameter)

/ 1" (25mm inside diameter) knock-out on the side access and a top

access compression fitting / strain relief to facilitate flexible conduit up to

22mm outside diameter or 1" (25mm inside diameter) conduit when the

compression fitting is removed.

External wiring shall be accomplished via a removable lockable wiring

connector with screw-down terminals to provide both secure wire

termination and pre-wiring capability before loudspeaker installation. The

4-pole locking connector shall facilitate in / out connections and shall be

located in the recessed area behind the conduit access panel.

Seismic support eye shall be provided on top of enclosure for additional

suspension point when used in drop tile ceilings. Construction of

enclosure shall be a minimum of 18-gauge, deep drawn galvanized metal.

The system shall include a support backing plate to reinforce the ceiling

material and tile support rails for use on either 2' x 4' (609mm x 1219mm)

or 2' x 2' (609mm x 609mm) suspended ceiling tiles. This assembly can

all be installed from beneath the ceiling tile.

Overall front face diameter shall not exceed 10

from the bottom of the ceiling shall not exceed 87/8" (225mm). Grilles shall

be press-fit, manufactured from 24-gauge perforated steel mesh and

finished in white epoxy. Round grille shall be 87/16" (214mm) diameter.

The loudspeaker shall be the Atlas Sound FAP42T.
