Do you have a question about the AUDAC WS624 and is the answer not in the manual?

Overview

This document outlines the installation procedure for the AUDAC WS624 In-Ceiling / In-Wall Speaker, a professional audio equipment designed for seamless integration into various architectural settings. The speaker is engineered for both in-ceiling and in-wall applications, providing versatile audio solutions for commercial and residential environments. Its design focuses on discreet placement, ensuring that high-quality sound is delivered without compromising the aesthetic integrity of the space.

Function Description

The AUDAC WS624 is a passive loudspeaker system, meaning it requires an external amplifier to operate. It is designed to reproduce audio signals with clarity and fidelity, making it suitable for background music, public address systems, and other audio distribution needs. The speaker features a multi-tap transformer, allowing it to be used in both low-impedance (8 Ohm) and 100 Volt constant voltage systems. This flexibility makes it adaptable to a wide range of audio installations, from small rooms to large commercial spaces.

In a low-impedance setup, the speaker connects directly to an amplifier output, typically used in systems where shorter cable runs and higher power delivery to individual speakers are desired. For 100 Volt applications, the built-in transformer allows for longer cable runs and the connection of multiple speakers to a single amplifier output, which is common in large-scale installations like offices, retail stores, and hotels. The transformer offers multiple power tap settings (24 Watt, 12 Watt, 6 Watt), enabling installers to precisely control the output level of each speaker to achieve balanced sound distribution across a listening area.

The speaker's design incorporates a front grill that can be easily removed and re-attached, facilitating installation and maintenance. The mounting mechanism is designed for secure and flush installation within a wall or ceiling cutout, ensuring that the speaker blends seamlessly with the surrounding surface.

Usage Features

The primary usage feature of the AUDAC WS624 is its ability to provide high-quality audio in a discreet, integrated package. Its in-ceiling and in-wall design means that the speaker itself is largely hidden from view, with only the grill visible, contributing to a clean and uncluttered aesthetic. This makes it an ideal choice for environments where visual aesthetics are as important as audio performance, such as high-end retail, corporate boardrooms, restaurants, and residential custom installations.

The multi-tap power settings are a significant usage feature, offering installers granular control over the sound pressure level (SPL) of individual speakers. This allows for precise tuning of the audio system to match the specific acoustic characteristics of a room or zone. For example, in a large open-plan office, speakers in quieter areas might be set to a lower tap, while those in more active zones could be set higher, all while being driven by the same amplifier.

The installation process itself is designed to be straightforward, using a cutout template to ensure accurate hole sizing. The mounting clips, which are integral to the speaker's frame, simplify the securing process. These clips rotate outwards and lock behind the ceiling or wall material, providing a firm and stable mount. The ability to remove the front grill without tools further enhances usability, making initial setup and any subsequent adjustments or maintenance tasks more convenient.

The inclusion of small rubber pieces for the grill groove is a thoughtful usage feature, particularly in environments prone to vibrations. These pieces help to dampen any potential rattling or movement of the grill, ensuring that the sound remains pure and free from mechanical interference. This attention to detail contributes to the overall reliability and performance of the speaker in diverse operational conditions.

Maintenance Features

The AUDAC WS624 is designed with ease of maintenance in mind, primarily through its accessible front grill and robust construction. The front grill can be removed by rotating the mounting clips outwards and pushing them down, which causes the fixing screws to push the grill out. This tool-free removal mechanism is a key maintenance feature, allowing quick access to the speaker's internal components without requiring specialized tools or extensive disassembly.

This accessibility is crucial for various maintenance tasks, such as:

  • Cleaning: Over time, dust and debris can accumulate on the speaker cone or inside the grill, potentially affecting sound quality. The removable grill allows for easy cleaning of these components, helping to maintain optimal audio performance.
  • Troubleshooting: If there are any issues with the speaker, such as distorted sound or no output, the ability to quickly access the wiring connections and internal components simplifies troubleshooting. Installers can easily check the power tap settings, wiring integrity, or speaker condition without having to remove the entire unit from the wall or ceiling.
  • Adjustments: While the power tap settings are typically set during initial installation, there might be occasions where minor adjustments are needed based on changes in room acoustics or usage requirements. The accessible connection block facilitates these adjustments.
  • Replacement: In the unlikely event that a component needs to be replaced, the design allows for easier servicing. While the manual doesn't detail component replacement, the general accessibility suggests that such tasks would be less cumbersome compared to speakers with sealed or difficult-to-access designs.

The robust construction of the speaker, including its mounting clips and connection block, contributes to its long-term reliability, minimizing the need for frequent maintenance. The locking mechanism for the power tap connections ensures a secure and stable electrical connection, reducing the likelihood of intermittent audio issues caused by loose wiring. The overall design prioritizes durability and ease of service, ensuring that the AUDAC WS624 remains a reliable part of an audio system for many years.
