an optimally tuned and ported deep drawn enclosure and includes a
specially designed 60 watt low saturation 70.7V / 100V transformer. A
convenient front mounted selector switch allows tap selection without
the need to remove the speaker from the ceiling. This tap selector switch

Mounting Accessories
Mounting is simplified with Strategy Series®style“dogleg”tabsthat
allow easy installation into drop tile or drywall ceilings with provided tile
bridgeassembly.Thetilebridgeconsistsoftwo“V”shapedmounting
railsandaC-Ringassembly.TheC-Ringcanbeattachedtotherailswith
thescrewsprovidedtoextendsupporttotheT-Bargridinsuspended
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drywallapplications,thetilebridge,C-Ring,andsupportrails
canbeinsertedintotheholecutfortheFAP82T.Foreasypositioningthe

residesadetachablePhoenixstylelockingfour-poleEuroconnector.
The package includes an attractive press-fit grille, which nicely matches
contemporary architecture.
For new construction drywall ceiling applications, the optional FAP82-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 FAP82T. Mounting holes are provided to
accommodate 16" or 24" OC stud / joist mounting.
With the FAP82T, Atlas Sound has addressed pendulum mounting for
openceilingapplications.Aneyeboltassemblyisincludedwiththe

SPEAKER SYSTEMS SUSPENDED OVERHEAD POSE A RISK
OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IF THEY FALL.
Overheadsuspensionofanyobject(rigging)isinherentlydangerous.
Itposesasubstantialriskofinjuryordeathtoboththosepersonsper-
forming the installation and those persons who may later occupy the
spaceunderthesuspendedobjects.Youmaybeheldliableforanyinjury
ordamageswhichmaybeallegedtoresultfromimproperinstallation.
IF YOU ARE NOT EXPERIENCED IN RIGGING OR SUSPENSION
OF SPEAKER SYSTEMS, OR IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT
THAT YOU ARE QUALIFIED TO INSTALL SUSPENDED
SPEAKER SYSTEMS, DO NOT PROCEED.
Instead,youshouldobtaintheservicesofproperlyqualifiedpersonnelto
complete the installation.
NEVER SUSPEND THE SPEAKER SYSTEM BY ANY ATTACHMENT
EXCEPT THE PROVIDED SUSPENSION POINT.
