RECOMMENDED MOUNTING LOCATIONS
Sound Advance products provide outstanding performance and economic advantages when installed in environments with an ambient noise level at or below 75dBA, where the speakers can be placed between 8 and 18 feet above the fl oor, and which are large enough to accommodate at least 4 or more conventional loudspeak­ers. When system design requirements indicate speaker to speaker distances of greater than 40.0 ft., please contact the factory for additional technical information on such applications.
Sound Advance recommends mounting the ST2432D in 9/16” and 15/16” T-Bar Suspended Ceiling Systems
IMPORTANT NOTE: The ST2432D-series SpeakerTile is designed to be installed in standard 2’ x 2’ suspended ceiling systems. It is suitable
FACTORY-PROVIDED FINISH
The Sound Advance ST2432D-Series SpeakerTiles are designed to be easily mounted into T-Bar suspended ceiling systems, completely replacing a standard 2’ x 2’ ceiling tile.
A variety of 3-dimensional and textured patterns are available, providing a match to most suspended ceiling tile patterns.
The ST2432D can optionally be covered with any water­soluble fi nish, such as latex paint, or be covered with light wallpaper, fabrics and selected texture coats*, further enhancing the SpeakerTile’s ability to blend invisibly with almost any interior design choice.
[* Please contact the factory before applying any textured coating, light wallpaper or fabrics to Sound Advance products]

NOTE: The use of backboxes may be required by local or national building codes.
INSTALLATION
UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Carefully open the shipping cartons and remove all contents. Inspect the SpeakerTile and accessories for dam­age. Report damage or shortages to Sound Advance.

the PBB2.0 backbox is NOT being used. See details on the backbox.
CAUTION: SOUND ADVANCE loudspeakers utilize a fl at polystyrene material as the sound radiating surface. Although it is resistant to mechanical damage and is unaffected by environmental extremes, care should be observed during handling, to avoid punctures or other damage.
INSTALLATION PREPARATION
Determine the type of ceiling grid system (9/16” or 15/16”) and mounting application (fl ush or Tegular). See

IMPORTANT: To avoid any noise or damage to the system when in operation be sure speaker wires or other objects are not in contact with the back of the SpeakerTile surface. To avoid damage to the front surface during mounting do not remove the protective cardboard cover from the Speaker Tile until it has been fully positioned into the ceiling.

ASSEMBLING THE BACKBOX
1. Lay the four panels down on your work surface with the bends facing up. Peel the covers from the adhesive squares on each panel.
2. Set up the four corners as shown in the straight end of one with the bent end of the other panel at a 45o angle. Open the panels to form a 90 angle and insure that the adhesive tape bonds the ends of the panels together.

be attached to a non-moveable, secure, portion of the ceiling structure to function properly.
1. Place the SpeakerTile on a clean work area with the fl at surface facing down. Remove all four Tegular Brackets located on the center of each side of the frame (see
Figure 1
on page 2).
2. Locate the pre drilled holes inside the speaker frame groove for mounting the two hinges (see
Figure 8
), and position the SpeakerTile so that the holes are on the upper side.
3. Using the provided long sheet metal screws, secure the spring-loaded hinge to the holes on the right side of the speaker frame, as shown in
Figure 16
. Be sure that
the screws are properly tightened.

10. If not previously done, run speaker wires or conduit (as per local Building Code requirements) into the selected mounting location. Fasten and seal as required.
11. IMPORTANT: Step 11 is only for 9/16” T-Bar grid
systems (both fl ush and Tegular mounting). If your ceiling is a 15/16” grid, skip to page 8.
Complete the backbox installation by diagonally
inserting the removed ceiling tile back into the ceiling through the open backbox. Lay the ceiling tile on the ledge and tabs at the rear of the backbox. Accessing from adjoining openings, secure the tile with bailing wire or #6d nails, as shown in
Figure 15

9/16” CEILING GRID SYSTEM: FLUSH OR TEGULAR MOUNT INSTALLATION WITH BACKBOX
CAUTION: Use of a safety strap to secure ST2432D SpeakerTile systems to backboxes or appropriate ceiling structure elements which are sufficiently strong and well-attached during installation is strongly recommended. It prevents the SpeakerTile from falling should a problem occur. The strap must
5. Locate the latch and expanding rivet (supplied). Insert the rivet in the Latch and then into the center hole located on the SpeakerTile frame, as shown in
Figure 17
Secure by tapping the center pin to set the rivet.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The latch must be opposite to the hinges mounted in the previous steps for the SpeakerTile to mount properly. Do not set the rivet until you confi rm that the hinges and latch are installed properly.
6. Being sure that the latch faces the screw previously mounted on the backbox in

NOTE: Once both hinges are inserted, the SpeakerTile will swing like a trap door.
7. If not previously done, run speaker wires or conduit (as per local Building Code requirements) into the selected mounting location. Fasten and seal as required. Connect the speaker wires to the correct (+) and (–) SpeakerTile terminals and select the required power tap. Insure that all connections and wiring runs are in compliance with
15/16” CEILING GRID: FLUSH OR TEGULAR MOUNT INSTALLATION WITH BACKBOX
NOTE: The 15/16” tegular mount arrangement requires the diaphragm front surface to be factory-routed in order to drop below the ceiling grid.
