Introduction
This user guide contains information about the Extron SM 3 SpeedMount Surface Mount Speaker.
About the SM 3 Speaker
The SM 3 speaker is a low profile surface-mount speaker system that features a three-inch full-range driver with very wide audio dispersion. Speaker mounting incorporates a separate mounting plate that can be attached directly to a wall or to an electrical box behind the wall. The speaker wiring attaches to the mounting plate so that the speaker can easily slide into the mounting plate, making electrical contact between the plate and the contacts on the speaker. A built-in locking mechanism between the speaker and the mounting plate also prevents the speaker from being removed by unauthorized personnel. The speaker may be easily removed by depressing a hidden release mechanism that does not require tools.
Features
- Concealed mounting system — Exclusive concealed mounting system included with 0° and 10° mounting plates.
- Mounting plate — Each speaker comes with a mounting plate that accommodates both American (3.25 inches) and European (60 mm) electrical boxes. Two types of mounting plates are provided with each speaker for both a flat (ADA compliant – protruding less than four inches off of the wall) and an angled (10°) mounting profile.
• 3-inch driver with paper cone — Full range with a wide audio dispersion. - Rated power — 15 W continuous pink noise (per IEC 60268-5); 30 W continuous program.
• Frequency response — 75 Hz to 18 kHz, -10 dB (full space)
• Bass-reflex, UV stabilized, flame retardant PC/ABS plastic enclosure
• Color options — Available in black or white finishes.
• Automatic speaker connection — Recessed gold-plated contact pins integrated into each speaker automatically make an electrical connection when the speaker is mounted to the wall mounting plate. - Hidden release mechanism — The speaker automatically locks on to the wall mounting adapter to prevent tampering, but a hidden release mechanism allows the speaker to be quickly unlocked without the use of tools.
• Security key — A special key allows the speaker to be locked or unlocked to the mounting plate.
Application Example
The illustration below is one example of configuring a system using the SM 3 speakers.

• Installing the Speaker Mounting Plate
• Attaching the Speaker to the Mounting Plate
• Removing the Speaker from the Mounting Plate
• Attaching a Secondary Support Cable
Installing the Speaker Mounting Plate
The SM 3 speaker comes with two types of speaker mounting plates:
- 0° plate — The 0° plate allows the speaker to be mounted flat on a vertical wall with the speaker protruding less than four inches (ADA compliant) from the wall surface (see the illustration below).

0° Mounting Plate
- 10° mounting plate — The 10° mounting plate allows the speaker to be installed at a 10 degree angle so that the speaker can be pointed down from an elevated position (see the illustration below).

° Mounting Plate
The mounting plate can be installed vertically or horizontally.

The mounting plate can be installed to a wall box (see "Mounting to a Wall Box" below) or to a wall stud (see "Mounting to a Wall Stud" on the following page).
Mounting to a Wall Box
NOTE: Mounting hardware is not provided.

- Install the speaker cables into the wall or conduit before installing the wall box.
-
Place the wall box against the installation surface, and mark the guidelines for the opening on the wall.
-
Cut the material from the marked area.
-
Insert the wall box to check the size of the opening and fit. Enlarge or smooth the edges of the opening if needed.
-
Feed cables through punch-out holes of the wall box leaving enough slack for the speaker connections and secure them with cable clamps to provide strain relief.
-
Insert the wall box into the opening and attach it to the wall or stud, leaving the front edge flush with the outer wall.
-
To attach a wall box to wood, use four #8 or #10 screws or 10-penny nails. A minimum of 12 inch (1.3 cm) of screw threads must penetrate the wood.
Mounting to a Wall Stud
NOTE: Mounting hardware is not provided.
-
Install the speaker cables into the wall or conduit before installing the speaker mounting plate.
-
Locate the wall stud where the mounting plate will be installed and while positioning the mounting plate over the wall stud, mark the location of two pilot holes. Use the holes on either side of the mounting plate so that the stud does not interfere with the speaker wire routing, as shown below.
NOTE: A speaker wire access hole (see below) must also be cut in the wall, so mark that hole location now with the mounting plate positioned on the wall, while ensuring that the wall stud does not interfere with the wire routing and that the mounting plate hides the access hole.

-
Drill the mounting plate pilot holes and cut the speaker wire access hole, as previously marked.
-
Route the speaker cables through the wall without snagging, being sure to leave enough slack to connect the wires to the mounting plate.
Wiring the Speaker Mounting Plate
NOTE: Mounting hardware is not provided.
- Route the two speaker wires through the rear of the mounting plate and attach the wire ends to the quick connect contacts using a small screwdriver (see the illustration below). Be sure to observe the correct polarity.
NOTE: The positive (+) connector and the negative (-) connector are marked on the mounting plate.
ATTENTION: Use the appropriate mounting screws. The screw heads must not protrude more than .074" (1.9 mm) above the screw holes in the mounting plate. If the screw head protrudes too far above the mounting plate surface, damage to the speaker may occur when the speaker is attached (see the figure below).

- Attach the mounting plate to the wall, using two mounting screws (see the illustrations below).
NOTE: The mounting screw holes in the mounting plate allow for some degree of play and lateral movement so that the mounting screws may be aligned properly with the screw holes of the wall box.
ATTENTION: Make sure that the wall box is secured to the wall structure and can handle the weight of the speaker. If there is doubt, secure the mounting plate with additional mounting screws. The wall stud mounting holes can be used for this purpose.

NOTE: When mounting to surfaces that do not allow wires to be routed from behind (such as on masonry or concrete walls) and the wires are routed to the speakers via a raceway, use the alternate access points to run the wires to the quick connect speaker contacts (see the figures below).

Attaching the Speaker to the Mounting Plate
Step 1: Attaching the Speaker
NOTE: If a secondary attachment point is being used, see the "Attaching a Secondary Support Cable" section on page 12 for installation details before proceeding further.
ATTENTION: By default, the SM 3 speaker is shipped unlocked. When mounting the speaker to the mounting plate, be sure that the speaker is unlocked. Failure to place the speaker in the unlocked position will result in damage to the speaker lock mechanism should an attempt be made to mount a locked speaker (see "Step 2: Using the Security Key to Lock and Unlock the Speaker" on page 10).
Position the rear mounting slot of the speaker above the catch tab of the mounting plate, then slide the speaker down into the mounting plate until a click is heard indicating that the speaker is secured in place (see figure below). When properly seated, the speaker connections are automatically made. Horizontal mounting is similar with only the orientation of the speaker being different.

Step 2: Using the Security Key to Lock and Unlock the Speaker
The SM 3 speaker uses an included security key to lock and unlock the speaker to its mounting plate (see the illustration below). The key has two positions: lock and unlock. The active position of the key is nearest the top of the speaker.
Insert the key into the center of the speaker grill and turn the key, as needed, so that the speaker is in the unlocked position (see the figure below). There are three small raised "dimples" on the grill surface that surround the keyhole. Repeat this procedure, but set the key to the locked position to lock the speaker.
CAUTION: The key must be rotated to the unlocked position before the speaker is attached to the mounting plate. Failure to place the speaker in the unlocked position will result in damage to the speaker lock mechanism should an attempt be made to mount the speaker.
NOTE: To avoid misplacing the key, store the key in a secure location for future use.


Removing the Speaker from the Mounting Plate
To remove the speaker from the mounting plate, you must unlatch the locking mechanism:
- Insert the security key into the keyhole of the speaker grill (see "Step 2: Using the Security Key to Lock and Unlock the Speaker" on page 10) and turn the key to the unlock position.
- Remove the security key.
- Apply pressure with your finger over the keyhole to unlatch the speaker from the mounting plate while lifting up on the speaker (see the illustration below).

CAUTION: To avoid damaging or scratching the grill finish, do not use tools or sharp instruments to depress the unlocking mechanism hidden behind the center of the grill.
Attaching a Secondary Support Cable
If a secondary support cable is being attached, use the included screw to attach a suitable cable to the screw hole, as shown below.
