APPLICATIONS
FAP42T combines superior coaxial loudspeaker performance with wide dispersion and easy
installation. A low profile enclosure and wide coverage make the FAP42T a perfect choice for low
ceilings. The FAP42T will satisfy the needs of owners, architects, contractors, and consultants by
delivering true, high fidelity sound reproduction in an attractive and easy-to-install system. The
FAP42T is ideal for high-intelligibility voice, music, and signal reproduction in commercial, industrial,
and institutional applications.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The FAP42T’s 130 degree dispersion angle effectively reduces the number of loudspeakers
necessary to achieve coverage in distributed systems with low ceilings.
The loudspeaker component matches the performance of the legendary Atlas Sound Strategy FA
Series. High quality construction 1" voice coil 4" coaxial cone type driver includes polypropylene
cone with a butyl rubber surround. The 19mm coaxially mounted tweeter is constructed of PEI. A
high sensitivity means less power may be required to achieve the desired SPL. This loudspeaker
is factory assembled to an optimally tuned & ported deep drawn enclosure and includes a special-
ly designed 16 watt low saturation 70.7V/100V transformer. A convenient front mounted selector
switch allows tap selection without the need to remove the speaker from the ceiling. This switch
also includes a transformer bypass setting for 8 ohm direct coupled operation.
MOUNTING ACCESSORIES
Mounting is simplified with Strategy style "dog leg" tabs that allow easy installation into drop tile
or drywall ceilings with provided tile bridge assembly. The tile bridge consists of (2) "V" shaped
formed mounting rails and a C-ring assembly. The C-ring can be attached to the rails with the
screws provided to extend support to the t-bar grid in suspended ceiling applications. Multiple hole
locations are provided to allow the C-ring to be positioned to the outer edge the tile if necessary.
For existing dry-wall applications the tile bridge c-ring and support rails can be inserted into the
hole cut for the FAP42T. For easy positioning the "V" shaped support rails match the shape of
the C-ring tabs for easy maneuvering and location when working "blindly" above the deck
A uniquely designed "easy access" input panel on the side of the enclosure allows for "thru"
conduit runs using flexible or rigid conduit. Below this cover resides a detachable Phoenix style
locking four-pole connector which provides for easy daisy chain wiring to other full range 70.7V
loudspeakers or Atlas Sound FASUB70 subwoofers. The package includes an attractive press-fit
grill which nicely matches contemporary architecture.
For new construction drywall ceiling applications, the optional FAP42-TR trim ring is available.
This unit provides a marked location for drywall installers to cut around essentially reserving the
desired location in the ceiling until final installation of FAP42T. Mounting holes are provided to
accommodate 16" or 24" OC stud/joist mounting.
A support ring is also provided on the top of the FAP42T enclosure to facilitate an auxiliary sup-
port cable. NOTE: IT IS MANDATORY THAT THIS SECONDARY SUPPORT BE UTILIZED IN
DROP CEILINGS FOR SAFETY AND SEISMIC CONSIDERATIONS).
