the loudspeaker is to be installed on a tegular

to drop below the ceiling grid the front surface of
the diaphragm must be factory-routed.

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]
