Surface Mount Loudspeakers

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the AtlasIED SM63T Strategy Series® surface mount loudspeakers. The SM63T loudspeaker is designed to

provide high fidelity, long life and installation convenience for commercial and residential applications. Their weather-resistant properties

make them perfect for use indoors or out. The SM63T is available in either black or white.

Key Features

• Includes internal, high efficiency 70.7V / 100V transformer (may be bypassed by 8Ω operation)

• Barrier strip input with weather resistant cover

• Bracket included for wall mounting

• Also compatible with optional Omnimount™ 10.0 series mounting systems

• Other mounting systems (single shaft or dual hole mount) may be used to match 1/4"-20 insert(s) on rear of speaker.

Dual hole mounting systems must match 23/8" (60mm) OC, 1/4"-20 insert spacing.

• Mounting system must be rated to support at least 10 lbs (4.5Kg)

Placement

Outdoor Use

The materials used in the construction of the SM63T loudspeaker systems are weather resistant. The hardware is brass, the grille is

powder-coated aluminum, and the bracket is zinc plated, powder coated steel. The enclosure itself is shatter resistant. Adhering to

these mounting guidelines will further extend the life of the product when installed outdoors:

• Whenever possible, mount the speaker under an eave or other protective overhang

• Always aim the speaker at a slight downward angle to prevent water from accumulating on the speaker cone

• Do not place the speaker in a location where water, snow, or ice will accumulate on the speaker for extended periods of time

Indoor Use

The SM63T loudspeaker works very well when it is wall-mounted in indoor applications. When the loudspeaker is placecd on a wall,

it can take advantage of the natural boundary effect that occurs when a loudspeaker system is placed against one or more surfaces.

This boundary effect will provide increased overall output. When mounted against one surface (on a wall), the loudspeaker output will

increase by 3dB. When mounted against two surfaces (on the wall near the ceiling or corner), the loudspeaker output increases by 6dB.

When mounted against three surfaces (in a corner near the ceiling), the loudspeaker output increases by 9dB.

Shelf Mounting

The bottom surface of the SM63T is a flat 90° to the speaker baffle to maintain level surface when placing on shelves. All models can

also be horizontally installed in any placement option.
