Introduction

This user guide contains information about the Extron SM 3 SpeedMount Surface Mount
Speaker.

About the SM 3 Speaker

The SM 3 speaker is a low profile surface-mount speaker system that features a three-inch
full-range driver with very wide audio dispersion. Speaker mounting incorporates a separate
mounting plate that can be attached directly to a wall or to an electrical box behind the wall.
The speaker wiring attaches to the mounting plate so that the speaker can easily slide into
the mounting plate, making electrical contact between the plate and the contacts on the
speaker. A built-in locking mechanism between the speaker and the mounting plate also
prevents the speaker from being removed by unauthorized personnel. The speaker may be
easily removed by depressing a hidden release mechanism that does not require tools.

Features

• Concealed mounting system — Exclusive concealed mounting system included with

0° and 10° mounting plates.

• Mounting plate — Each speaker comes with a mounting plate that accommodates

both American (3.25 inches) and European (60 mm) electrical boxes. Two types of
mounting plates are provided with each speaker for both a flat (ADA compliant –
protruding less than four inches off of the wall) and an angled (10°) mounting profile.

• 3-inch driver with paper cone — Full range with a wide audio dispersion.

• Rated power — 15 W continuous pink noise (per IEC 60268-5); 30 W continuous

program.

• Frequency response — 75 Hz to 18 kHz, -10 dB (full space)

• Bass-reflex, UV stabilized, flame retardant PC/ABS plastic enclosure

• Color options — Available in black or white finishes.

• Automatic speaker connection — Recessed gold-plated contact pins integrated into

each speaker automatically make an electrical connection when the speaker is mounted
to the wall mounting plate.

• Hidden release mechanism — The speaker automatically locks on to the

wall mounting adapter to prevent tampering, but a hidden release mechanism allows
the speaker to be quickly unlocked without the use of tools.

• Security key — A special key allows the speaker to be locked or unlocked to the

mounting plate.

The Installation section describes:

• Installing the Speaker Mounting Plate

• Attaching the Speaker to the Mounting Plate

• Removing the Speaker from the Mounting Plate

• Attaching a Secondary Support Cable

Installing the Speaker Mounting Plate

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

• 0° plate — The 0° plate allows the speaker to be mounted flat on a vertical wall with

the speaker protruding less than four inches (ADA compliant) from the wall surface (see
the illustration below).

0° Mounting Plate

• 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
(see the illustration below).

The mounting plate can be installed to a wall box (see “Mounting to a Wall Box” below) or to
a wall stud (see “Mounting to a Wall Stud” on the following page).

Mounting to a Wall Box

NOTE: Mounting hardware is not provided.

all Stud

1. Install the speaker cables into the wall or conduit before installing the wall box.

2. Place the wall box against the installation surface, and mark the guidelines for the

opening on the wall.

SM 3 User Guide • Installation 4

3. Cut the material from the marked area.

4. Insert the wall box to check the size of the opening and fit. Enlarge or smooth the edges

of the opening if needed.

5. Feed cables through punch-out holes of the wall box leaving enough slack for the

speaker connections and secure them with cable clamps to provide strain relief.

6. Insert the wall box into the opening and attach it to the wall or stud, leaving the front

edge flush with the outer wall.

7. To attach a wall box to wood, use four #8 or #10 screws or 10-penny nails. A minimum

of 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) of screw threads must penetrate the wood.

Mounting to a Wall Stud

NOTE: Mounting hardware is not provided.

1. Install the speaker cables into the wall or conduit before installing the speaker mounting

plate.

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

mounting plate over the wall stud, mark the location of two pilot holes. Use 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 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.

Mounting Screws

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

marked.

4. Route the speaker cables through the wall without snagging, being sure to leave

enough slack to connect the wires to the mounting plate.

SM 3 User Guide • Installation 5

Wiring the Speaker Mounting Plate

Good

NOTE: Mounting hardware is not provided.

1. Route the two speaker wires through the rear of the mounting plate and attach the

wire ends to the quick connect contacts using a small screwdriver (see the illustration
below). Be sure to observe the correct polarity.

NOTE: The positive (+) connector and the negative (-) connector are marked on the

mounting plate.

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. 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 figure below).

SM 3 User Guide • Installation 6

2. Attach the mounting plate to the wall, using two mounting screws (see the illustrations

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.

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.

Attaching the Speaker to the Mounting Plate

Step 1: Attaching the Speaker

NOTE: If a secondary attachment point is being used, see the “Attaching a

Secondary Support Cable” section on page 12 for installation details before

proceeding further.

ATTENTION: By default, the SM 3 speaker is shipped unlocked. When mounting

the speaker to the mounting plate, be sure that the speaker is unlocked. Failure to
place the speaker in the unlocked position will result in damage to the speaker lock
mechanism should an attempt be made to mount a locked speaker (see “Step 2:

Using the Security Key to Lock and Unlock the Speaker” on page 10).

Position the rear mounting slot of the speaker above the catch tab of the mounting plate,
then slide the speaker down into the mounting plate until a click is heard indicating that
the speaker is secured in place (see figure below). When properly seated, the speaker
connections are automatically made. Horizontal mounting is similar with only the orientation
of the speaker being different.

Catch Tab

SM 3 User Guide • Installation 9

Step 2: Using the Security Key to Lock and Unlock the Speaker

The SM 3 speaker uses an included security key to lock and unlock the speaker to its
mounting plate (see the illustration below). The key has two positions: lock and unlock. The
active position of the key is nearest the top of the speaker.

Insert the key into the center of the speaker grill and turn the key, as needed, so that the
speaker is in the unlocked position (see the figure below). There are three small raised
“dimples” on the grill surface that surround the keyhole. Repeat this procedure, but set the
key to the locked position to lock the speaker.

CAUTION: The key must be rotated to the unlocked postion before the speaker is

attached to the mounting plate. Failure to place the speaker in the unlocked position
will result in damage to the speaker lock mechanism should an attempt be made to
mount the speaker.

NOTE: To avoid misplacing the key, store the key in a secure location for future use.
