Mounting Template 11" Diameter

Drop Tile Ceiling

Installation

1. Remove 2' x 2' or 2' x 4' tile.

2.Align adjustable dual rail & C-ring assembly on rear of tile in desired position.

3.Using the template provided, mark cut out circle with marker and cut hole. (11" FAP62T)

4.Affix C-ring assembly to rails using screws provided and position assembly on rear of ceiling tile. Replace tile into grid. Be sure formed ends of tile bridge rails engage T-bar tile support rails.

5.Bring service loop from rear of tile, through the tile bridge/C-ring to the access panel located on side of enclosure. Terminate the service loop to Phoenix style connector provided (please note polarity).

Combination knockouts are provided to facilitate conduit.

6.Insert enclosure through front of tile. Using standard #2 Phillips screwdriver or screw-gun, tighten four dogleg assemblies until they engage the C-ring assembly. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN DOGLEG SCREWS!

7.Adjust front mounted switch to desired wattage tap setting or 8Ω* (See important note regarding 8Ω operation)

8.Install press-fit grille into front bezel ring. Push baffle upwards until it is flush with the bezel ring.

9.For safety and seismic considerations a suspension ring is integrated into the input panel section of unit.

Atlas Sound strongly suggests that a support wire be installed from this support point to a suitable anchor point above ceiling grid.

In drop tile applications, this wire can usually be installed from an adjacent tile access near speaker location.

Dry Wall ("Hard Deck") Installation

Painting Shield 1012" Diameter

1.Using the template provided, mark cut out circle in desired mounting location and cut hole. (11" FAP62T)

2.Place tile bridge rails and C-ring through hole. Use V-shaped edge of C-ring to align tile bridge assembly above ceiling (alignment screws provided are not required for this type of installation)

3.Bring service loop from rear of tile, through the tile bridge / C-ring to access panel located on the side of the enclosure. Terminate service loop to Phoenix style connector provided (please note polarity). Combination knockouts are provided to facilitate conduit.

4.Insert enclosure into hole. Using standard #2 Phillips screwdriver or screw-gun, tighten four dogleg assemblies until they engage the C-ring assembly.

DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN DOGLEG SCREWS!

5.Adjust front mounted switch to desired wattage tap setting or 8Ω* (See important note regarding 8Ω operation)

6.Install press-fit grille into front bezel ring. Push baffle upwards until it is flush with the bezel ring.

New Construction (Drywall Ceilings)

Use of optional FAP62-TR1(for use with FAP62T) new construction bracket essentially reserves a speaker mounting location prior to drywall installation in new construction. Bracket mounts between 16" or 24" OC studs and includes a 38" downward lip to provide a template for drywall installers to cut around. For final installation, please follow these instructions:

Note: Tile bridge components are not used in new construction applications where new construction bracket is utilized.

1.Bring service loop through hole in ceiling provided by pre-construction bracket to access panel located on side of the enclosure. Terminate service loop to Phoenix style connector provided (please note polarity). Combination knockouts are provided to facilitate conduit.

2.Insert speaker assembly into hole. Using standard #2 Phillips screwdriver or screw-gun, tighten four dogleg assemblies until they engage the ring provided on the new construction bracket. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN DOGLEG SCREWS!

3.Adjust front mounted switch to desired wattage tap setting or 8Ω* (See important note regarding 8Ω operation)

4.Install press-fit grille into front bezel ring. Push baffle upwards until it is flush with the bezel ring.

1FAP62-TR has not been evaluated by UL Laboratories

NOTE: Doglegs will accommodate ceiling material thickness up to 114" as shipped from factory. For thicker ceiling materials (up to 2") simply unscrew and flip doglegs

as shown. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN DOGLEGS IN EITHER CONFIGURATION!

NOTE: UL recognized conduit clamp must be used for conduit connections. Cable connection cavity is not intended to be used as a junction box.

NOTE: *Do not use 8Ω setting with 70.7V / 100V systems! *Do not overpower in 8Ω configuration!

FAP62T specifications

The Atlas Sound FAP62T and FA62T-8MB are high-performance, professional-grade loudspeakers designed for a variety of audio applications, particularly in commercial environments such as restaurants, retail spaces, and corporate facilities. These speakers are noted for their impressive acoustic performance, versatility, and installation ease, making them a preferred choice for audio professionals.

One of the standout features of the FAP62T is its full-range, two-way design, which combines a 6.5-inch woofer with a 1-inch titanium dome tweeter. This configuration allows the speaker to deliver a well-balanced audio experience, producing clear highs and deep lows. The speaker is capable of handling a power output of up to 60 watts, ensuring that it can fill larger spaces with sound without distortion.

The integration of a transformer in the FAP62T makes it an ideal choice for 70V or 100V distributed audio systems. This feature allows for easy connection to long wire runs and multiple speaker installations, providing flexibility for system design. The option for an 8-ohm direct connection also caters to users who may need lower impedance setups for their unique applications.

The FA62T-8MB, on the other hand, is designed particularly for environments where aesthetics are a priority. This model boasts a flush-mount design that blends seamlessly into any architecture, making it an excellent choice for high-end commercial installations. Its low-profile design doesn't compromise on audio quality, ensuring that users still receive excellent sound performance.

The speakers come with a paintable grille, allowing for further customization to match the interior decor of any setting. The installation process is straightforward, featuring a quick mounting system that minimizes labor time and reduces installation costs.

In terms of audio technologies, the speakers utilize advanced crossover designs that enable seamless sound transitions between the woofer and tweeter. This ensures that frequencies are distributed appropriately, enhancing the overall listening experience without compromising clarity.

With a frequency response range of 70 Hz to 20 kHz, the Atlas Sound FAP62T and FA62T-8MB loudspeakers are versatile options capable of handling a variety of audio content, including speech, music, and multimedia presentations.
