Frequently Asked Questions - SMK F SF 10C Plus Extron

What is the Extron SMK F SF 10C Plus used for?

It is a floor mount kit designed for the SF 10C SUB subwoofer, allowing vertical or horizontal installation.

Does the kit include legs for both vertical and horizontal mounting?

Yes, it includes four long legs for vertical mounting and four short legs for horizontal mounting.

What hardware is included in the kit?

The kit includes 12 screws, 12 locking nuts, 24 washers, nylon straps, and a grille cut-out template.

Can the subwoofer be mounted in an adjoining space?

Yes, but special steps are required: you need to cut a hole in the wall for the port tube, ensure fire breaks above and below the tube, and maintain a minimum distance of 5-3/16 inches (132 mm) from the edge of the installation surface.

How far must the port tube be from the wall edge?

The center of the port tube must be at least 5-3/16 inches (132 mm) from the edge of the wall for the grille to fit properly.

Can the subwoofer be placed with the port tube facing down?

It is not recommended because the grille will not fit. You may need to fabricate a platform to lift it.

How do I secure the subwoofer to the floor?

Use the included nylon straps or locally-obtained perforated metal hanger straps to fasten the top bracket to a nearby stud or stationary surface, using appropriate hardware.

Is the SMK F SF 10C Plus compatible with other Extron subwoofers?

It is specifically designed for the SF 10C SUB. For other models, refer to their respective manuals.

What safety certifications apply to this installation?

Local building codes and fire safety standards, including UL requirements for fire breaks, must be followed when installing in adjoining spaces.

Where can I find the full user guide for the SF 10C SUB?

USER MANUAL SMK F SF 10C Plus Extron

This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to install the Extron SMK F SF 10C Plus floor mount kit for the SF 10C SUB subwoofer. The SMK F SF 10C Plus kit consists of four long legs for mounting the speaker vertically, and four short legs for mounting the speaker horizontally. Each kit includes 12 screws and locking nuts, and 24 washers.

NOTE: See the SF 10C SUB User Guide or SF 10C SUB Setup Guide for detailed instructions regarding the SF 10C SUB subwoofer.

ATTENTION:

• Remember that the sound from the unit is directed out the port. Therefore, the port needs to be pointed into the listening space.
• To ensure that the Extron grille fits fully into any masking wall or other partition, the center of the port tube must be at least 5-3/16 inches (132 mm) from the edge of the wall.
• The grille does not fit if you install the legs on the subwoofer with the port tube down. Consider fabricating a small platform to lift the subwoofer (see figure 2 on the next page), or otherwise design your own way to dress your installation to give it a finished look.
• Steps 3, 4, 5, and 8 are necessary only if you are installing the subwoofer in an adjoining space.

Installing Long Legs for Vertical Installation

The subwoofer can be set vertically on a floor using the included long legs as follows:

1. Determine where the subwoofer is to be placed and its orientation (port tube on top or port tube on the bottom).
2. Remove the grommets from the holes in the installation bracket.
3. Fasten two legs to each installation bracket using the three provided screws and locking nuts, two on one side of the foot (see figure 1, ①) and one on the other side (②).

1. When installing in an adjoining space — On the far side of the wall (outside the listening space), remove enough wall material so that the subwoofer port tube can be placed as close as possible to the wall (facing the listening space).
2. When installing in an adjoining space — On the near side of the wall (inside the listening space), mark where the center of the port tube faces the installation surface. The center mark must be at least 5-3/16 inches (132 mm) from the edge of the installation surface.
3. When installing in an adjoining space — On the near side of the wall (inside the listening space), using the included grille cut-out template, mark and cut the hole in the surface.
4. Place the subwoofer in the desired location.
5. Use the included nylon straps and included accessories, or locally-obtained perforated metal hanger straps, to secure two of the mounting holes on the top bracket to the nearest stud or other stationary surface (see figure 2, ①). Use locally obtained hardware suitable for the material to which the unit is being secured.
6. When installing in an adjoining space — Ensure that there are fire breaks above and below the port tube (2) to meet UL requirements. If necessary, fabricate them.
