ATEOxM- User manual04
Introduction
The ATEOxM series are extraordinary loudspeakers especially designed for fixed installation in- & outdoor
applications, ranging from modern residential applications to the most demanding designer applications
in environments such as retail stores, pubs, restaurants or even clubs.
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+™ 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+™ 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 & modification, the ATEOxM
loudspeakers come with an external power tap selection switch located on the rear of the speaker. Like this,
it’s really child’s play to install a large number of loudspeakers in no time.
All ATEOxM series speakers are available in black (/B) or white (/W).

1) Wall mounting holes
The wall mount has to be fixed by four screws in a quadrangular shape. The used fasteners should be chosen
depending to the mounting surface (brick, concrete, wood, ... )
2) Speaker attachment points and spring-loaded locking
ATEOxM has a hook and a latch connection on it and those connection should be placed to attachment
points on CleverMount+™ mounting system. When the mounting is done correctly, a clicking sound will be
heard. There is also a spring-loaded locking mechanism to lock the attached speaker or to release it from
the wall mount.
3) WAGO connectors and contact blades
CleverMount+™ mounting technology has two pieces of WAGO terminal connectors on it for connection
and daisy chaining. One terminal port on each connector is connected to a contact blade for speaker and
mounting system mating. Polarity of each terminal is indicated on CleverMount+™ mounting system.

Thanks to the patented CleverMount+™ mounting technology these loudspeakers have the advantage of
making the speaker cabinet flow together with the mounting bracket providing a great ease for installing
the loudspeaker in one good-looking entity. A safe installation of the loudspeaker is acquired thanks to the
separate bracket base.
Mounting brackets come with official WAGO connectors for the perfect high-quality and reliable electrical
installation. Great installer convenience is provided with the WAGO spring cage terminals, no additional
tools needed.

Installing ATEOxM
With the improved CleverMount+™ 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.
1) Install CleverMount+™ 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, ... )

2) 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+™. Secondary terminal block connection points can be used to wire the next ATEOxM.

3) Set the external power tap selection on ATEOxM (not for ATEOxDM)
The ATEOxM can be connected in low impedance (8 Ω) 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 Ω) 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.

Step 1
ATEOxM has two connection latches on it and those
connection latches should be placed to attachment points
on CleverMount+™ mounting system.
Step 2
Carefully place the top hook to its place on the mounting
system and slowly push the ATEOxM and be sure connection
blades and the bottom latch is inserted.
Step 3
When the mounting is done correctly, connecting blades of
mounting system will be mated with ATEOxM and a clicking
sound will be heard.
Step 4
There is a spring-loaded locking mechanism on the bottom
to lock the attached speaker or to release it from the wall
mount. The ATEOxM can be taken out of its place by pushing
the spring-loaded locking bolt when it is not locked.
Step 5
Tighten the spring-loaded locking bolt placed at the bottom
with the Allen key to ensure secure and safe permanent
installation.

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.
