Sound Advance Introduces Innovative FastMount®
Speaker Line
Four FastMount® Models Debut with Flexible Mounting System
San Clemente, CA—June 2006—At InfoComm 2006, Sound Advance will introduce four new indoor/outdoor loudspeakers with an innovative hardware system, called FastMount®, that provides a simple, secure, “notools” solution for ultra-efficient installation. Sound Advance is widely known for its range of invisible flatpanel speakers for commercial and residential systems.
The three new surface-mount Sound Advance models are available in paintable white or black cabinets. The
FMS530, FMS660, and FMS860 feature 5.25-inch, 6.5-inch, and 8-inch polypropylene woofers, respectively, combined with a 1-inch polyurethane dome tweeter and sophisticated crossover circuitry that yields accurate,
dynamic, foreground-quality sound reproduction. Each model incorporates a built-in 60-watt (30-watt in the FMS530), multitap, 70-volt transformer with power taps at 3dB intervals and an 8-ohm bypass. All three models feature rugged drivers, cabinet enclosures, and electronics that are carefully engineered for weather resistance, making them eminently suitable for use virtually anywhere: indoors—including kitchens, baths, and spas—and outdoors on patios, pool areas, decks, and more.
FastMount permits snap-in setup in a wide array of situations—vertical, horizontal, pole-mounted, and more—as close as 1 inch to the mounting surface, yet with full, 180° pivotability. The secure, locked-in mount includes a click-stop positioning system for precise speaker angling. What’s more, the Sound Advance FMS design accepts input cabling via a concealed, weatherproof, rubber-grommeted rear-panel port, and guides the cable to the front baffle-side of each speaker. There, behind a sealed access panel, weather-protected terminal connections can be made quickly and easily while the speaker is secure in its mounting bracket, eliminating risky, time-consuming, one-handed acrobatics on ladders.
