Extron Electronics announced the immediate availability of the SM 28T SpeedMount Surface Mount Speaker, a two-way speaker with superior sound quality and a patent pending, concealed wall mounting system. It features an 8” (20.3 cm) woofer with dual tuned ports that extends low frequency response down to 59 Hz, and a 1.1” (2.8 cm) silk dome tweeter that reaches up to 22 kHz without the brittle sound associated with metallic domes.
This powerful speaker has an 8 ohm direct power rating of 90 watts continuous pink noise, and 180 watts continuous program capacity. It includes a six-position power tap selector, accessible through the grille, for 70 volt and 100 volt modes up to 64 watts. The SM 28T delivers accurate voice and detailed music reproduction on and off-axis through a unique baffle placement and crossover design that ensures smooth and even power response.
The Extron exclusive mounting system is designed to accommodate division-of-labor installations and save costs. The SM 28T is ideally suited for classrooms, conference rooms, exercise facilities, retail spaces, auditoriums, spaces with raised or exposed ceilings, and other environments where high performance surface mount speakers are desired.
“The SM 28T combines a superior quality speaker with the fast installation capabilities of SpeedMount to support high impedance applications,” says Casey Hall, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Extron. “Our exclusive mounting system allows a large number of SM 28T speakers to be installed quickly and efficiently, so that multiple sound systems can be completed within a short installation window.”
To meet a variety of installation needs, the extremely flexible mounting system includes a 0° mounting plate and a 10° mounting adapter. The 0° mounting plate provides the electrical connections and allows the SM 28T to be oriented vertically or horizontally, flush with the wall. When the versatile 10° mounting adapter is added to the mounting plate, the SM 28T can be positioned with a 10° tilt downward, upward, left, or right.
The SM 28T saves time and installation costs for AV system contractors working with low-voltage contractors in a division-of-labor installation. During rough-in, a low-voltage contractor installs the mounting system on the wall and terminates the speaker cable to the mount's integrated wiring contacts. Later, the AV system contractor completes the installation by sliding the SM 28T onto the mount.
The SM 28T is sold in pairs and carries a 5 year parts and labor warranty. It is available in a black or white finish and includes a 0° mounting plate and a 10° mounting adapter. Also available is an optional yoke mount kit for the SM 28T. It allows for vertical or horizontal speaker mounting on a wall, or on a ceiling, and provides 180° of pivot in 10° detented steps.
