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.

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.
