Introduction

2-Way speaker with Clevermount™

The ATEO is a series of extraordinary loudspeakers especially designed for fixed install in

indoor applications, ranging from modern residential applications to the most demanding

designer applications in evironments such as retail stores, pubs, restaurants or even

clubs.

It features a stunningly designed and elegant looking ABS housing which is fitted with

High-Quality components. What makes this loudspeaker range so exceptional is the

specially designed mounting bracket using the Clevermount™ technology, making the

loudspeakers cabinet flow together with the mounting bracket providing a great ease

for installing the loudspeaker in one good-looking entity.

The mounting and connection of the loudspeaker simply happens by attaching the

included metal wall-plate to the desired location. When mounted, the wires must be

connected to the desired terminal of the custom connection block. The desired power

tap for 100 Volt or 8 Ohm can be selected by picking the right terminal. After this is

done, only five seconds of work is left for clipping the loudspeaker onto the wall-plate,

tightening the safety screw and you’re ready to rock!

This way, it’s really child’s play to install a large number of loudspeakers in no-time.

Even if you’re working all alone while people are watching your fingers or when installing

the speakers up high, when you’re standing on a ladder.

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

Installing the ATEO

Clevermount™ Technology

Every Ateo speaker uses the unique Clevermount™technology, making the loudspeakers

cabinet flow together with the mounting bracket and providing a great ease for installing

the loudspeaker in one good-looking entity.

Using this technology, the speaker can be installed at any location in both a horizontal and

vertical way, providing the possibility for pointing the speaker into the desired direction,

even after the speaker is already mounted and connected.

The horizontal installation method provides an additional advantage when the installation

height on the wall or ceiling is limited, while the directional capabilities make it easy to

determine and adjust the distribution of sound throughout the area.

The installation of the loudspeaker should be done according to a simple 5-step

procedure, which is described below:

Step 1: Attach the Wall Plate

The first step which should be taken is the mounting of the supplied wall plate to the

desired location on the wall. The wall plate has to be fixed by four screws in a quad-

rangular shape. The mutual distance is 30 mm horizontally and 55 mm vertically for

the ATEO4 and 50 mm horizontally and 50 mm vertically for the ATEO6 as indicated in

the following drawing. The used fasteners should be chosen depending to the mounting

surface (brick, concrete, wood, ... )

Step 2: Make the connections

After the wall plate is installed, the connections can be made. The Ateo speaker can

be connected in Low Impedance (8 Ohm) or High Impedance (100 V) Systems. For use

in High Impedance (100 V) systems, different power taps are available.

The wires coming from the amplifier have to be connected to the corresponding ter-

minals of the special 6-pin Terminal block connector on the wall plate. The common

(‘COM’ or ‘-’) output of the amplifier should always be connected to the ‘C’ terminal

of the connector, while the positive (‘Sig’ or ‘+’) should be connected to one of the

other terminals, depending of the power or impedance.

Depending whether the speaker will be used in 8 Ohm or 100 Volt applications, a

jumper on the rear side of the loudspeaker has to be moved. When the speaker will be

used in 8 Ohm applications, the jumper should be placed in left position, while using

in 100 Volt applications, the jumper should be placed in the right position.

Mind the polarity markings when wiring the loudspeaker cables.

In most cases, the speaker cable will be provided through the wall, making the cable

completely invisible from outer side. In some cases, the cable should be fed from outer

side. For this purpose, a spot (marked in RED) with thinner material is provided at the

bottom side, which can be removed using a plier for feeding the cable into the circular

bracket.

Step 3: Attach the speaker

After the wall plate is mounted and the wires are connected, the loudspeaker can be

fixed to the wall plate. This should be done by sliding the hooks of the wall plate into

the slots on the back side of the speaker, followed by a downwards movement of the

loudspeaker (about 1 cm). Now, the loudspeaker is fixed and connected.

To prevent the loudspeaker from falling down under any circumstance, the security screw

on top of the circular bracket should be tightened.

Step 4: Position the loudspeaker

The last step in the mounting procedure of the speaker is pointing it into the desired

direction. This can be done after (carefully) removing the logo in the center of the front

grill and untightening the allen-key bolt which is located behind it. After this bolt is

untightened by a few turns, the speaker will be in a free state, making it possible to move

it into the left (30°), right (30°), up (5°) and down (30°) position. It can also be rotated

from vertical to horizontal position (rotate counter-clockwise).

Once the speaker is placed in position and pointing into the right direction, it can be

locked by tightening the allen-key bolt. Subsequently the logo should be placed again

in front of the allen-key bolt.

Step 5: Enjoy the music!

After the Ateo loudspeakers have been installed correctly, you deserve to have a short

break, relax and enjoy the sound of the Ateo speakers!
