Placement
Outdoor Use
The materials used in the construction of the Strategy Series surface mount speaker systems are weather resistant. The hardware is
brass, the grille is powder-coated aluminum, and the bracket is zinc plated, powder coated steel. The enclosure itself is shatter resis-
tant. Adhering to these mounting guidelines will further extend the life of the product when installed outdoors:
• Whenever possible, mount the speaker under an eave or other protective overhang.
• Always aim the speaker at a slight downward angle to prevent water from accumulating on the speaker cone.
• Do not place the speaker in a location where water, snow or ice will accumulate on the speaker for extended periods of time.
Indoor Use
The Atlas Sound Strategy Series surface mount speaker system works very well when it is wall-mounted in indoor applications. When
you place the speaker on a wall, you take advantage of the natural boundary effect that occurs when a speaker system is placed
against one or more surfaces. This boundary effect will provide increased overall output. When you mount the speaker against one
surface (on a wall), output will increase by 3dB. When you mount the speaker against two surfaces (on the wall near the ceiling or
corner), you increase the output by 6dB. When you mount the speaker against three surfaces (in a corner near the ceiling), output will
increase by 9dB.
Shelf Mounting
The bottom surface of the SM42T, SM52T, and SM82T are a flat 90° to the speaker baffle to maintain level surface when placing on
shelves. All models can also be horizontally installed in any placement option.
