Extron electronic manual Installation into a Cable Cubby, SPA 12 AAP Installation Guide

SPA 12 AAP Installation Guide

•On the left of the face plate, the rear enclosure covers the threaded standoffs of the SPA 12 (i.e., they are not visible).

•On the right of the face plate, the rear enclosure should line up with the pair of SPA 12 threaded standoffs that emerge through the HSA 402 front panel.

7.Tighten the lock nut and washer to the magnet cap bolt that emerges from the rear enclosure.

8.Tighten #4-40 nuts to the SPA 12 threaded standoffs on the right side (viewed from the back).

9.Attach the opposite end of the speaker wire to the output of your amplifier.

Installation into a Cable Cubby

Each SPA 12 AAP includes a rear enclosure and a factory installed magnet cap to secure it. These pieces enhance the quality of sound, but are not required for use.

Some Cable Cubby and HSA mounting options are too small to allow for these optional pieces, and some wall mount situations may present an obstruction. In such instances, remove the magnet cap and do not install the rear enclosure.

To remove the magnet cap

1.Unscrew the two ¼” lock washer nuts that hold the magnet cap in place.

2.Gently pull the magnet cap from the speaker driver.

Although the SPA 12 AAP speaker works properly in free air (without the rear enclosure and magnet cap), it is a good practice to limit open space behind the SPA 12 AAP. Cover large openings as much as possible to optimize the speaker’s performance.

To install the SPA 12 AAP into an Extron Cable Cubby, do the following. Several of the steps are summarized in figure 3 on the following page.

1.Placing the L-brackets inside the cubby in the desired position, use a Phillips head screwdriver to lightly secure the L-brackets in place with the supplied screws.

Insert the SPA 12 AAP and check for fit. Once the speaker’s threaded standoffs are fully aligned with the L-brackets, tighten the screws through the holes in the cubby box.

3.From the bottom of the Cable Cubby, attach and tighten #4-40 nuts to both pairs of threaded standoffs emerging from the SPA 12 AAP brackets.

4.Attach the speaker wire pair ends to the SPA 12 AAP speaker by soldering the exposed tips to the speaker’s positive and negative terminal pair (marked – and +).

5.Attach the opposite end of the speaker wire to the output of your amplifier.

Installation into architectural frames

The SPA 12 AAP can be installed in most Extron four-space AAP architectural frames (e.g., the MLC 104 AAP) and in wall mount faceplates (e.g., the AAP 102).
