Introduction

The Extron SPA 12 AAP is a full-range speaker designed for installation within the enclosures of select HSA (Hideaway Surface Access) and Cable Cubby® Series products. It provides localized, near-field sound coverage for one or more participants at a conference table.

Mounting the SPA 12 AAP

The SPA 12 installs directly into the four-space AAP opening of various architectural frames; the Cable Cubby 300, 600, and 800 series; and the HSA 400, and 822 series.
Each SPA 12 AAP includes a rear enclosure and a factory installed magnet cap to secure it. These pieces enhance the quality
of sound, but are not required for use.

Installation into an HSA 400

To install the SPA 12 AAP speaker into an Extron HSA 400 front panel, do the following. Several of the steps are summarized in figure 1, below.
1. Insert the provided polyester fiber foam into the rear enclosure.

3. From the left side (viewed from the back) of the four-space AAP opening in the HSA 400 front panel, remove the L-bracket and mounting nuts.
4. Insert the SPA 12 speaker and front grill into the four-space opening of the HSA 400.
5. Attach and tighten #4-40 nuts to the furthermost left (viewed from the back) pair of threaded standoffs of the SPA 12. This should seal the SPA 12 speaker onto the HSA 400 front plate.
6. Attach the speaker wire pair ends to the SPA 12 speaker by soldering the exposed tips to the speaker’s positive and negative terminal pair (marked – and +).
7. Place the L-bracket back in its original location, but do not reattach the mounting nuts.
8. Attach the rear enclosure. When doing so, keep the
following in mind:
Ensure that the arrows on the labels affixed to each
piece are aligned and pointing upward before covering the magnet cap with the rear enclosure.
The bolt from the magnet cover should emerge
through the hole of the rear enclosure.
On the left of the face plate, the rear enclosure covers
the threaded standoffs of the SPA 12 (i.e., they are not visible). Conversely, the HSA 400 threaded standoffs fit onto the holes of the rear enclosure and are visible through them.
On the right of the face plate, the rear enclosure
should line up with the pair of SPA 12 threaded standoffs that emerge through the HSA 400 front panel.
9. Tighten the lock nut and washer to the magnet cap bolt that emerges from the rear enclosure.
10. Tighten #4-40 nuts to the SPA 12 threaded standoffs on the right side (viewed from the back).
11. Attach the opposite end of the speaker wire to the output of your amplifier.

Installation into an HSA 402

To install the SPA 12 AAP speaker into an Extron HSA 402 front panel, do the following. Several of the steps are summarized in figure 2, below.

9. Attach the opposite end of the speaker wire to the output of your amplifier.

Installation into a Cable Cubby

Each SPA 12 AAP includes a rear enclosure and a factory installed magnet cap to secure it. These pieces enhance the quality
of sound, but are not required for use.
Some Cable Cubby and HSA mounting options are too small to allow for these optional pieces, and some wall mount situations may present an obstruction. In such instances, remove the magnet cap and do not install the rear enclosure.
To remove the magnet cap
1. Unscrew the two ¼” lock washer nuts that hold the magnet cap in place.
2. Gently pull the magnet cap from the speaker driver.
Although the SPA 12 AAP speaker works properly in free air (without the rear enclosure and magnet cap), it is a good
practice to limit open space behind the SPA 12 AAP. Cover large openings as much as possible to optimize the speaker’s performance.
To install the SPA 12 AAP into an Extron Cable Cubby, do the following. Several of the steps are summarized in figure 3 on the following page.
1. Placing the L-brackets inside the cubby in the desired position, use a Phillips head screwdriver to lightly secure the L-brackets in place with the supplied screws.
Insert the SPA 12 AAP and check for fit. Once the speaker’s threaded standoffs are fully aligned with the L-brackets, tighten the screws through the holes in the cubby box.

3. From the bottom of the Cable Cubby, attach and tighten #4-40 nuts to both pairs of threaded standoffs emerging from the SPA 12 AAP brackets.
4. Attach the speaker wire pair ends to the SPA 12 AAP speaker by soldering the exposed tips to the speaker’s positive and negative terminal pair (marked – and +).
5. Attach the opposite end of the speaker wire to the output of your amplifier.

Installation into architectural frames

The SPA 12 AAP can be installed in most Extron four-space AAP architectural frames (e.g., the MLC 104 AAP) and in wall mount faceplates (e.g., the AAP 102).

SPA 12 AAP Installation Guide
The magnet cap and rear enclosure pieces work best with mounting options where ample room is provided for them. Some four-space AAP architectural frame products are too small to allow for these optional pieces, and some wall mount situations may present an obstruction. In such instances, remove the magnet cap.
To remove the magnet cap
1. Unscrew the two ¼” lock washer nuts that hold the magnet cap in place.
2. Gently pull the magnet cap from the speaker driver.
Although the SPA 12 AAP speaker works properly in free air (without the rear enclosure and magnet cap), it is a good
practice to limit open space behind the SPA 12 AAP. Cover large openings as much as possible to optimize the speaker’s performance.
To install the SPA 12 AAP speaker into an Extron architectural frame, do the following. Several of the steps are summarized in figure 4, below.
1. Insert the SPA 12 AAP speaker and front grill into the four­space AAP opening of the architectural frame. Ensure that the SPA 12 threaded standoffs are lined up with the openings of the architectural frame.
