Applications
Atlas Sound’s FAP62T combines superior coaxial loudspeaker perfor-
mance with even dispersion and easy installation. A low profile enclosure
and wide coverage make the FAP62T a perfect choice for low ceilings.
The FAP62T will satisfy the needs of owners, architects, contractors,
and consultants by delivering true, high fidelity sound reproduction
in an attractive and easy-to-install system. The FAP62T is ideal for
high-intelligibility voice, music, and signal reproduction in commercial,
industrial, and institutional applications.
General Description
The FAP62T's 110° dispersion angle can reduce the number of
loudspeakers necessary to achieve coverage in distributed systems with
low ceilings.
The loudspeaker component matches the performance of the legendary
Atlas Sound FA136 driver. High quality construction 6" coaxial cone type

rails with the screws provided to extend support to the T-bar grid in sus-
pended ceiling applications. Multiple hole locations are provided to allow
the C-Ring to be positioned to the outer edge of the tile if necessary.
For existing dry-wall applications the tile bridge C-Ring and support rails
can be inserted into the hole cut for the FAP62T. For easy positioning

A uniquely designed “easy access" input panel on the side of the enclo-
sure allows for “thru" conduit runs using flexible or rigid conduit. Below
this cover resides a detachable Phoenix / Euro style locking four-pole
connector, which provides for easy daisy chain wiring to other full range

includes an attractive press-fit grille, which nicely matches contemporary
architecture.
For new construction drywall ceiling applications, the optional FAP62-TR
trim ring is available. This unit provides a marked location for drywall
installers to cut around essentially reserving the desired location in the
ceiling until final installation of FAP62T. Mounting holes are provided to
accommodate 16" or 24" OC stud / joist mounting.
A support ring is also provided on the top of the FAP62T enclosure to
facilitate an auxiliary support cable.
NOTE: IT IS MANDATORY THAT THIS SECONDARY SUPPORT
BE UTILIZED IN DROP CEILINGS FOR SAFETY AND SEISMIC
CONSIDERATIONS.

Drop Tile Ceiling
Installation
1. Remove 2' x 2' or 2' x 4' tile.
2. Align adjustable dual rail & C-ring assembly on rear of tile in desired position.
3. Using the template provided, mark cut out circle with marker and cut hole.
(11" FAP62T)
4. Affix C-ring assembly to rails using screws provided and position assembly on rear of ceiling tile.
Replace tile into grid. Be sure formed ends of tile bridge rails engage T-bar tile support rails.
5. Bring service loop from rear of tile, through the tile bridge/C-ring to the access panel located on side of enclosure.
Terminate the service loop to Phoenix style connector provided (please note polarity).
Combination knockouts are provided to facilitate conduit.
6. Insert enclosure through front of tile. Using standard #2 Phillips screwdriver or screw-gun, tighten four dogleg assemblies
until they engage the C-ring assembly. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN DOGLEG SCREWS!
7. Adjust front mounted switch to desired wattage tap setting or 8Ω* (See important note regarding 8Ωoperation)
8. Install press-fit grille into front bezel ring. Push baffle upwards until it is flush with the bezel ring.
9. For safety and seismic considerations a suspension ring is integrated into the input panel section of unit.
Atlas Sound strongly suggests that a support wire be installed from this support point to a suitable anchor point above ceiling grid.
In drop tile applications, this wire can usually be installed from an adjacent tile access near speaker location.
Dry Wall ("Hard Deck") Installation
1. Using the template provided, mark cut out circle in desired mounting location and cut hole. (11" FAP62T)
2. Place tile bridge rails and C-ring through hole. Use V-shaped edge of C-ring to align tile bridge assembly above ceiling
(alignment screws provided are not required for this type of installation)
3. Bring service loop from rear of tile, through the tile bridge / C-ring to access panel located on the side of the enclosure. Terminate service loop to Phoenix style
connector provided (please note polarity). Combination knockouts are provided to facilitate conduit.
4. Insert enclosure into hole. Using standard #2 Phillips screwdriver or screw-gun, tighten four dogleg assemblies until they engage the C-ring assembly.
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN DOGLEG SCREWS!
5. Adjust front mounted switch to desired wattage tap setting or 8Ω* (See important note regarding 8Ωoperation)
6. Install press-fit grille into front bezel ring. Push baffle upwards until it is flush with the bezel ring.
New Construction (Drywall Ceilings)
Use of optional FAP62-TR1(for use with FAP62T) new construction bracket essentially reserves a speaker mounting location prior to drywall installation
in new construction. Bracket mounts between 16" or 24" OC studs and includes a 3⁄8" downward lip to provide a template for drywall installers to cut
around. For final installation, please follow these instructions:
Note: Tile bridge components are not used in new construction applications where new construction bracket is utilized.
1. Bring service loop through hole in ceiling provided by pre-construction bracket to access panel located on side of the enclosure. Terminate service
loop to Phoenix style connector provided (please note polarity). Combination knockouts are provided to facilitate conduit.
2. Insert speaker assembly into hole. Using standard #2 Phillips screwdriver or screw-gun, tighten four dogleg assemblies until they engage the ring provided
on the new construction bracket. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN DOGLEG SCREWS!
3. Adjust front mounted switch to desired wattage tap setting or 8Ω* (See important note regarding 8Ωoperation)
4. Install press-fit grille into front bezel ring. Push baffle upwards until it is flush with the bezel ring.
1FAP62-TR has not been evaluated by UL Laboratories
NOTE: Doglegs will accommodate ceiling material thickness up to 11⁄4" as shipped from factory. For thicker ceiling materials (up to 2") simply unscrew and flip doglegs
as shown. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN DOGLEGS IN EITHER CONFIGURATION!
NOTE: UL recognized conduit clamp must be used for conduit connections. Cable connection cavity is not intended to be used as a junction box.
NOTE: *DO NOT USE 8ΩSETTING WITH 70.7V / 100V SYSTEMS! *DO NOT OVERPOWER IN 8ΩCONFIGURATION!
