Description
The Bogen ASM1 Easy Install® Self-Amplified Speaker is a surface-mount speaker, designed to typically install in less than a minute. Installation is a simple, three-step process that does not require tools. First, four specially-designed studs pierce the ceiling tile. Second, two custom-designed wing nuts secure the speaker to the ceiling. Third, standard wire nuts make the 24V DC power and audio connections directly to the color-coded studs. The ASM1 is lightweight, durable, and features a lowprofile contemporary design, making it versatile enough to be installed in just about any installation with standard ceiling tiles. The ASM1 is a 1-watt, self-amplified speaker. There is an exterior volume control for easy balancing that is easily accessible, but doesn't attract tampering
Features:
- Installs in less than a minute
- Self-contained 1W amplifier
- High intelligibility and sensitivity
- Wide-range frequency response
- Direct and reflected sound paths create wide dispersion angle
- Lightweight and durable plastic shell with an off-white, paintable finish
- Simple, three-step installation process
- No tool(s) installation
- Color-coded mounting studs identify polarity to make the power and audio connections easier (no external wires)
- Front-mounted volume control for easy access
- Transformer-isolated, balanced audio input
- Can be installed in any drop ceiling with standard ceiling tiles
- Surface-mounting design eliminates need to cut ceiling tile, no mess installation
- Contemporary design blends/matches any decor
- O-ring seal holds speaker tight to ceiling surface, eliminating whistling and ensures smoother sound without peaks
- Textured studs easily pierce ceiling tile and secure wire nut connections
- Wide-bottom, easy-to-handle mounting wing nuts provide secure speaker mounting
- All necessary mounting hardware included
- Tile Bridge available for weight distribution (model SMTB, sold separately)
- Complies with NFPA National Code 160b and UL-2043 (Report available)
