Strategy Series

FA95-8

The patented Strategy Series (U.S. Patent #5206464) loudspeaker system was carefully engineered to provide excellent audio per for mance as well as optimum aesthetic and in stal la tion advantages in new or existing construction. The in no va tive system, which uses matched audio components, includes loudspeakers, acoustic enclosures, hardware-free grilles, trim rings, plaster rings, and tile bridges.

Strategy Series components may be mixed and matched to provide an at trac tive, high-quality and eco nom i cal so lu tion for meeting the music and voice-com mu ni ca tion needs of owners, ar chi tects, contractors and consultants. The 8" Strategy Series loudspeakers offer good performance and extended sound pressure levels making the system ideal for prestigious venues or high/vaulted ceiling applications. The series offers two performance levels: commercial and high-performance. Respective levels are determined by selected loudspeaker/enclosure combination.

The 8" system is perfect for commercial, institutional and retail venues where high-fidelity music and/or clear voice communication are required.

Easier, faster installation and a superior overall appearance are the three most distinguishable characteristics of the Strategy Series.

Acoustic Enclosures - FA97-4 Series and FA95-4 Series

Strategy Series 8" loudspeaker enclosures are acoustically-treated, front-load ing units, equipped for installation in ceilings up to 2 3 ⁄

8

" thick.

Models FA97-8 and FA95-8 feature depths of 7 5 ⁄

8

" and 6 1 ⁄

8

", respectively.

The deeper, FA97-8 allows for extended low-frequency response and is also lined with sound-deadening, 5 ⁄

16

" thick acoustic batting (2 lb./ft.

3 density) and features an acoustic fiber board bottom to prevent “oil canning”. The two back boxes are equipped with conduit knockouts and are available without knockouts (NK) to meet respective building code requirements. Enclosures are constructed of CRS (22-gauge top ring & 20-gauge bottom/sides) and include four threaded inserts for loudspeaker installation and three stud receptacles for accepting

Strategy Series grilles. Both models are electro galvanized.

Model FA97-8 and FA95-8 install quickly and easily in plas ter, drywall, or suspended tile ceilings up to 2 3 ⁄

8

" thick utilizing three, easy-to-adjust rotating clamps that rotate and secure into position with a screwdriver.

The enclosures front-load Atlas Sound's Strategy Series 8" diameter loudspeaker Model FA138. This direct loud speak er-to-enclosure mount ing meth od re moves all load-bearing re quire ments from the grille, allowing the use of welded studs for convenient, push-on grille installation — a time-saving feature which presents a clean and hardware-free ap pear ance. It also facilitates fast and easy grille re mov al for painting or other maintenance.

FA97-8 - Enclosures allow the high-performance coaxial FA138 loudspeaker to achieve max i mum potential.\This high-quality loudspeaker/enclosure combination is perfect for applications where high-fidelity music and intelligible speech are im per a tive.

FA95-8 - Models are an economical alternative with reduced depth which may be used for quality voice trans mis sion, music and signal reproduction in com mer cial, industrial, and in sti tu tion al ap pli ca tions.

Attractive, Easy-Fit Grilles

FA51-8, FA170-8, FA720-8 & FA730-8

Strategy Series grilles push mount for fast and easy installation without tools. They are also aesthetically pleasing both in size and overall ap pear ance. This unique grille design utilizes three specially configured, serrated, welded studs for secure, push-on in stal la tion, achieving a clean, hardware-free appearance. Stud-mount design also provides for easy grille removal during ceiling/wall painting and maintenance. The grilles are avail able in a choice of three round styles and one square version to meet all types of interior decor and budget con sid er ations.

All models are con struct ed of CRS and finished in textured white or a combination of textured white epoxy and black enamel.

The functional and economic FA51-8 round grille features a one-piece, stamped, perforated opening which is compatible with most ceiling styles. The grille's 1 ⁄

8

" diameter holes are equally spaced, forming a perfo ra tion pattern which allows for high-quality sound transmission.

Square Model FA170-8 features an in te gral ly designed subplate with slotted cut outs enabling the grille to be positioned for meeting directional ceiling requirements. This exclusive feature allows for independent grille rotation regardless of mounted back box position. The three push-mount grille studs are sand wiched in be tween the grille and subplate, allowing the studs to rotate within the slotted cutouts as the grille is turned.

Aesthetic value highlights the round Strategy FA720-8 grille. The unit's sturdy, two- piece construction features a perforated, mesh grille, welded to a formed outer ring. The grille's perforated design with narrow ring width enable it to em brace se lec tive applications, while providing optimum speaker per for mance.

The unique and contemporary design of the FA730-8 grille compliments any surrounding decor and offers excellent voice/music transmission through standard perforation design. The grille features a textured white trim ring, accented by black regressed step-rings and black finished perforation. When installed, the grille gives the appearance of a recessed spot or down light.
