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)
