SYSTEM DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS
The patented Strategy Series (U.S. Patent #5206464) loudspeaker system was carefully engi- neered to provide excellent audio performance as well as optimum aesthetic and installation advantages in new or existing construction. The innovative system, which uses matched audio components, includes loudspeakers, acoustic enclosures, hardware-free grilles, trim rings, plas- ter rings and tile bridges.
Strategy Series components may be mixed and matched to provide an attractive, high-quality and economical solution for meeting the music and voice-communication needs of owners, architects, contractors and consultants. The wide dispersion of the 4" series loudspeakers makes the system ideal for low-ceiling applications since fewer loudspeakers are required to achieve proper coverage with desired sound levels. The series offers two performance levels: standard and high-performance. Respective levels are determined by selected loudspeaker/enclosure combination. (See below chart for recommended combinations.)
The 4" system is perfect for commercial, institutional and retail venues where high-fidelity music and/or clear voice communication are required. Easier, faster installation and a superior overall appearance are the three most distinguishable characteristics of the Strategy Series.
ACOUSTIC ENCLOSURES - FA97-4 SERIES AND FA95-4 SERIES
Strategy Series 4" loudspeaker enclosures are acoustically-treated, front-loading units, equipped for installation in ceilings up to 11⁄4" thick. Models FA97-4 and FA95-4 feature depths of 75⁄8" and 61⁄8", respectively. The deeper, FA97-4 allows for extended low-frequency response and is also lined with sound-deadening, 5⁄16" thick acoustic batting (2 lb./cu.ft. density) and fea- tures an acoustic fiber board bottom to prevent “oil canning”. Both styles are equipped with conduit knockouts and are available without knockouts (NK) to meet respective building code requirements. Enclosures are constructed of CRS (22-ga. top ring & 20-ga. bottom/sides), painted and include four threaded inserts for loudspeaker installation and three stud recepta- cles for accepting Strategy Series grilles. Both models are finished in black epoxy.
Model FA97-4 and FA95-4 install quickly and easily in plaster, drywall, or suspended tile ceil- ings up to 11⁄4" thick utilizing three, easy-to-adjust rotating clamps that rotate and secure into position with a screwdriver. The enclosures front-load Atlas Sound's 4" dia. Strategy Series loudspeaker Models FA134 and FA114. (Refer to SL1-1533 and SL1-1524 for respective loud- speaker specifications and loudspeaker/transformer model numbers.) This direct loudspeaker- to-enclosure mounting method removes all load-bearing requirements from the grille, allowing the use of welded studs for convenient, push-on grille installation — a time-saving feature which presents a clean and hardware-free appearance. It also facilitates fast and easy grille re- moval for painting or other maintenance.
FA97-4Enclosures allow the high-performance coaxial FA134 and full-range FA114 loudspeakers to achieve maximum potential. This high-quality loudspeaker/enclosure combination is perfect for applications where high-fidelity music and intelligible speech are imperative.
FA95-4Models are economical system enclosures with less depth than FA97-4 models. They are suited for installations requiring quality voice transmission, music and signal reproduction in commercial, industrial and institutional applications.
