Introduction

Compact full-range speaker with ClickMount™

The ATEO is a series of extraordinary loudspeakers especially designed for fixed install indoor applications, ranging from modern residential applications to the most demanding designer applications in environments such as retail stores, pubs, restaurants or even clubs.

The ATEO2S is an ultra-compact model of this series, which smoothly integrates into any interior like no other loudspeaker. Fitted with a 2" aluminum cone driver, it provides a full-range, warm and detailed sound with an improved response in the low frequencies due to the ported enclosure. It features a stunningly designed and elegant looking ABS housing which is fitted with high-quality components. The newly designed mounting bracket uses the ClickMount™ technology and allows the installation of the speaker on any ceiling or horizontal surface while directional placement and tilting can be done in any possible direction.

The minimalistic bracket design in combination with the elegant designed cabinet provides an elegant solution which finds its application in any type of interior.

The installation of the speaker is done by fixing the included L-shaped bracket to the desired location on the ceiling and connecting the wires to the spring clamp terminal block. After this is done, the female connection socket on the rear of the speaker needs to be plugged on the male connection part of the bracket. This way the speaker is instantly fixated and connected.

All ATEO series speakers are available in Black (/B) or White (/W).

Installing the ATE02S

ClickMount™ Technology

Every ATEO2S speaker uses the unique Clickmount™ technology, offering an elegant and slim solution for mounting the loudspeaker to the ceiling, while providing a great ease for installing the loudspeaker.

Using this mounting solution, the speaker can be installed on any ceiling or horizontal surface, while directional placement and tilting can be done in any possible direction, even after the speaker is already installed.

The installation of the loudspeaker should be done according to a simple 4-step procedure, which is described below:

Step 1: Attach the mounting bracket

The first step is to attach the mounting bracket to the desired location. The mounting bracket has to be fixed by four screws in a square shape. The mutual distance is 35mm in both directions. The used fasteners should be chosen according to the mounting surface (brick, concrete, wood, ...)

Step 2: Make the connections

After the mounting bracket is attached, the connections shall be made. The ATE02S only allows connection in low impedance mode (8 Ohm for ATE02S and 16 Ohm for ATE02SD) and therefore a terminal block connector is provided. The wires coming from the amplifier should be connected to the spring clamp terminal block connector.

The polarity is indicated through the color coding of the wires. The red wire is the + terminal while the black wire is the COM terminal. Make sure the polarity is always correct throughout the entire system.

Once connected, the ceiling cover can be slid and clicked in place, nicely covering the screws and connections. Mind the direction of the fixation clips at the inner side of the cover, to make sure they nicely get into place when pressed onto the bracket.

Mind the polarity markings when wiring the loudspeaker cables.

Step 3: Attach the speaker

After the bracket is mounted and the connections have been made, the speaker shall be attached. Attaching is simply done by inserting the male 6.3 mm plug from the bracket into the female counterpart on the rear side of the loudspeaker. Once inserted, the speaker shall be pressed on the male part until the connections are clicked in position. Now the speaker is safely fixated and connected.

Step 4: Position the loudspeaker

The last step in the installation procedure of the speaker is pointing it into the correct direction. The ball joint mechanism allows adjustment of the direction of the loudspeaker without requiring any tools.

Carefully point the speaker into the correct direction and it will automatically remain in this position.

Detaching the speaker

In case the speaker needs to be detached from the bracket press the small button on the back of the speaker, marked on the drawing below. This will release the locking mechanism inside the speaker. Do this while pulling the speaker from the male part of the bracket to detach the speaker.
