SYSTEM DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS

The patented Strategy Series (U.S. Patent #5206464) loudspeaker system was carefully engi­neered to provide excellent audio performance as well as optimum aesthetic and installation
advantages in new or existing construction. The innovative system, which uses matched audio
components, includes loudspeakers, recessed acoustic enclosures, surface-mount enclosures
and hardware-free grilles, trim rings, plaster rings and tile bridges.

Strategy Series components may be mixed and matched to provide an attractive, high-quality
and economical solution for meeting the music and voice-communication needs of owners, ar­chitects, contractors and consultants. The 6" Strategy Series loudspeakers combine the high
performance of an eight-inch loudspeaker with the wide dispersion of a four-inch to produce
optimum sound reproduction. The series offers two performance levels: high-performance and
commercial. Respective levels are determined by selected loudspeaker/enclosure combination.
(See chart below for recommended combinations.)

The 6” system is perfect for professional, commercial, institutional, retail and custom installation
venues where high-fidelity music and/or clear voice communication are required. High fidelity
sound, efficient installation and a superior overall appearance are the three most distinguish­able characteristics of the Strategy Series.

ACOUSTIC RECESSED ENCLOSURES - FA97-6 AND FA95-6 MODELS

Strategy Series 6" recessed loudspeaker enclosures are acoustically-treated, front-loading
units, equipped for installation in ceilings up to 1

1

⁄4" thick. Models FA97-6 and FA95-6 feature
depths of 75⁄8" and 61⁄8", respectively. The deeper, FA97-6 allows for extended low-frequency
response and is also lined with sound-deadening, 5⁄16" acoustic batting (2 lb./cu.ft. density) and
features an acoustic fiber board bottom to prevent “oil canning”. Both styles are equipped with
conduit knockouts and are available without knockouts (NK) to meet respective building code
requirements. Enclosures are constructed of CRS (22-ga. top ring & 20-ga. bottom/sides) and
include four threaded inserts for loudspeaker installation and three stud receptacles for accept­ing Strategy Series grilles. Both models are finished in black epoxy.

Model FA97-6 and FA95-6 install quickly and easily in plaster, drywall, or suspended tile ceil­ings up to 1

1

⁄4

" thick utilizing three, easy-to-adjust rotating clamps that secure into position with
a screwdriver. The enclosures front-load Atlas Sound's Strategy Series 6" dia. loudspeaker
Models FA136 and FA116. (Refer to SL1-1436 and SL1-1437 for respective loudspeaker speci­fications and loudspeaker/transformer model numbers.) This direct loudspeaker-to-enclosure
mounting method removes all load-bearing requirements from the grille, allowing the use of
welded studs for convenient, push-on grille installation — a time-saving feature which presents
a clean and hardware-free appearance. It also facilitates fast and easy grille removal for paint­ing or other maintenance.

FA97-6 Eenclosures allow the high-performance coaxial FA136 and the full-range FA116 loud­speaker to achieve maximum potential. This high-quality loudspeaker/enclosure combination is
perfect for applications where high-fidelity music and intelligible speech are imperative.

FA95-6 Enclosures are economy versions with less depth which are ideal for systems requiring
quality voice transmission, background music and signal reproduction in commercial, industrial
and institutional applications.

may be used to mount non-transformer equipped loudspeaker models into walls having a min.
depth of 3

1

⁄2"*. The FAPR-6 will facilitate installation of transformer-equipped loudspeaker mod-
els into walls with a minimum depth of 51⁄2"*. Plaster ring is constructed of 20-gauge CRS and
finished in textured black epoxy. It is equipped with four threaded inserts for loudspeaker
installation and three stud receptacles for mounting Strategy Series grilles. The mounting

TRIM RING - MODEL FA-TR6

The Strategy Series FA-TR6 trim ring/rough-in bracket, for wall or ceiling-mount applications,
installs prior to the drywall and serves as a pattern cut-out for the drywall contractor to finish-out
the wall leaving the proper opening for a FA97-6 or FA95-6 enclosure. This step identifies pre­wire location, expediting sound system installation. Trim ring measures 255⁄8"L and will accom-
modate

3

⁄8" to 11⁄4" drywall. Mounting holes are provided to match both 16" and 24" center studs.

FA-TR6 is finished in black epoxy.
