This setup guide contains installation information about the Extron SM 3 speaker.

Installing the Speaker Mounting Plate

The SM 3 speaker comes with two types of speaker mounting plates:

 0° mounting plate — The 0° plate allows the speaker to be mounted  at on a vertical wall with the speaker protruding less

than four inches (ADA compliant) from the wall surface.

 10° mounting plate — The 10° mounting plate allows the speaker to be installed at a 10 degree angle so that the speaker

can be pointed down from an elevated position.

The mounting plate can be installed vertically or horizontally as shown on the right.

NOTE: Observe all applicable building codes and local ordinances when installing the speaker.

Mounting to a Wall Box

1. Route the speaker cable through the rear of the mounting plate and attach the wire ends to the quick connect contacts using

a small screwdriver (see the following  gures on the next page). Be sure to observe the correct polarity.

NOTE: The positive (+) connector and the negative (-) connector are marked on the mounting plate.

2. Attach the mounting plate to the wall box, using two mounting screws (see  gure below).

NOTE: The mounting screw holes in the mounting

plate allow for some degree of play and lateral movement so that the mounting screws may be aligned properly with the screw holes of the wall box. Observe U.S. and European screw locations, as shown on the right.

ATTENTION: Make sure that the wall box is

secured to the wall structure and can handle the weight of the speaker. If there is doubt, secure the mounting plate with additional mounting screws. The wall stud mounting holes can be used for this purpose.

ATTENTION: Use the appropriate mounting screws. The screw heads must not protrude more than .074” (1.9 mm)

above the screw holes in the mounting plate (see the  gure below left). If the screw head protrudes too far above the mounting plate surface, damage to the speaker may occur when the speaker is attached (see the  gure below right).

1. Install the speaker cables into the wall or conduit before installing the speaker mounting plate. Leave enough slack.

2. Locate the wall stud where the mounting plate will be installed and while positioning the mounting plate on the wall mark the

location of two pilot holes using the holes on either side of the mounting plate so that the stud does not interfere with the speaker wire routing, as shown below.

NOTE: A speaker wire access hole (see the figures below) must also be cut in the wall, so mark that hole

location now with the mounting plate positioned on the wall while ensuring that the wall stud does not interfere with the wire routing and that the mounting plate hides the access hole.

NOTE: When mounting to surfaces that do not allow

wires to be routed from behind (such as on masonry

or concrete walls) and the wires are routed to the speakers via a raceway, use the alternate access points to run the wires to the quick connect speaker contacts (see the figures above).

ATTENTION: Use the appropriate mounting screws (see the above ATTENTION).

3. Drill the mounting plate pilot holes and cut the speaker wire access hole, as previously marked.

4. Route the speaker cable through the rear of the mounting plate and attach the wire ends to the quick connect contacts

using a small screwdriver (see the illustrations at the top of this page). Besure to observe the correct polarity.

5. Attach the mounting plate to the wall.
