SPA 12 AAP Installation Guide

The magnet cap and rear enclosure pieces work best with mounting options where ample room is provided for them. Some four-space AAP architectural frame products 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.

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 speaker into an Extron architectural frame, do the following. Several of the steps are summarized in figure 4, below.

1.Insert the SPA 12 AAP speaker and front grill into the four- space AAP opening of the architectural frame. Ensure that the SPA 12 threaded standoffs are lined up with the openings of the architectural frame.

2.Attach #4-40 nuts to both pairs of threaded standoffs emerging from the SPA 12, and tighten them to the architectural frame.

3.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 – +).

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