Introduction
Bright sound, effortless installation
The ATEOxM series are extraordinary loudspeakers especially designed for fixed
installation in- & outdoor applications, ranging from modern residential
applications to the most demanding designer applications in environments such
as retail stores, pubs, restaurants or even clubs.
The ATEOxM ensures a true-to-nature, high-fidelity reproduction of music and
speech, whilst maintaining an ultra-flat frequency response. It features a
stunningly designed and elegant-looking weatherproof ABS housing which is
fitted with high-quality components. What makes this loudspeaker range so
exceptional is the specially designed mounting bracket using the weatherproof
CleverMount+TM technology, making the loudspeaker cabinet flow together with
the mounting bracket providing great ease for installing the loudspeaker in
one good-looking entity. This design loudspeaker forms the ideal solution for
fixed-install indoor and outdoor applications.
With the improved CleverMount+TM innovation, mounting and connection of the
loudspeaker happens in seconds after attaching the wall plate to the desired
location. During installation, the wires can easily be connected to the
integrated WAGO connectors. For ease of installation & modification, the
ATEOxM loudspeakers come with an external power tap selection switch located
on the rear of the speaker. Like this, it’s really child’s play to install a
large number of loudspeakers in no time.
All ATEOxM series speakers are available in black (/B) or white (/W).

- Wall mounting holes
The wall mount has to be fixed by four screws in a quadrangular shape. The used fasteners should be chosen depending to the mounting surface (brick, concrete, wood, … ) - Speaker attachment points and spring-loaded locking
ATEOxM has a hook and a latch connection on it and those connection should be placed to attachment points on CleverMount+TM mounting system. When the mounting is done correctly, a clicking sound will be heard. There is also a spring-loaded locking mechanism to lock the attached speaker or to release it from the wall mount. - WAGO connectors and contact blades
CleverMount+TM mounting technology has two pieces of WAGO terminal connectors on it for connection and daisy chaining. One terminal port on each connector is connected to a contact blade for speaker and mounting system mating. Polarity of each terminal is indicated on CleverMount+TM mounting system.

Installing ATEOxM
With the improved CleverMount+TM innovation, mounting and connection of the loudspeaker happens in seconds after attaching the wall plate to the desired location. During installation, the wires can easily be connected to the integrated WAGO connectors. For ease of installation & power configuration, the ATEOxM loudspeakers come with an external power tap selection rotary switch located on the rear of the speaker. Makes it easy to install a large number of loudspeakers in no time.
- Install CleverMount+TM mounting system
The first step is mounting the supplied wall mount to the desired location on the wall. The wall mount has to be fixed by four screws in a quadrangular shape. Distance between mounting holes are shown below.The used fasteners should be chosen depending to the mounting surface (brick, concrete, wood, … )

- Make the connections
After the wall mount is installed, the connections can be made. The wires coming from the amplifier shall be connected to the corresponding terminals of the WAGO terminal block connector. The positive or the signal output of the amplifier should be connected to the first corresponding positive terminal of the WAGO connector, while the negative or the common should be connected to the first corresponding negative terminal of the WAGO connector. Positive and negative connection points are clearly indicated on CleverMount+TM. Secondary terminal block connection points can be used to wire the next ATEOxM.

- Set the external power tap selection on ATEOxM (not for ATEOxDM)
The ATEOxM can be connected in low impedance (8 ) or high impedance (70/100V) systems. For use in high impedance (70/100V) systems, various power tappings can be selected. Depending on whether the speaker will be used in LO-Z or 70/100V applications, the ATEOxM has an integrated external power tap selector hidden on the rear which is protected by a plastic cap. On the otherhand, the ATEOxDM can be connected only in low impedance ( 16 ) and there is no rotary switch on it.
When using in constant voltage 70V/100V systems, the power taps can be adjusted in 4 steps of impedance through selection of the correct connection terminals indicated with A, B, C & D. Each position corresponds with a specific impedance / power setting indicated on a label on the wall plate and in the table below.

Chapter 3
Positioning ATEOxM
The last step in the mounting procedure of the speaker is pointing it in the
desired direction by untightening the Allen-key bolt located in the centre of
the speaker grill. The AUDAC logo comes separately to be placed in the centre
of the speaker grill after the positioning of the ATEOxM. 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.
The ATEOxM has a protection class of IP66 thanks to the fully sealed cabinet
and hydrophobic cloth behind the grill. Position the ATEOxM at a minimum down
tilt of 5° for outdoor installations. Standing water is avoided trough this
installation.
