The Extron SM 26 SpeedMount® Surface Mount Speaker is a two-way speaker with a patented, concealed wall mounting system. It features a 6.5" (165 mm) woofer with dual tuned ports and a 1" (25 mm) tweeter. The SM 26 provides a wide frequency range from 65 Hz to 19.2 kHz, and a power rating of 60 watts continuous pink noise, 120 watts continuous program capacity. The Extron-exclusive mounting system is designed to accommodate division-of-labor installations and save costs. The SM 26 is available as an 8 ohm model, and an SM 26T version which can operate in 8 ohm direct as well 70 volt and 100 volt modes. The SM 26T features a six-position power tap selector, which can conveniently be accessed through the grille from outside the speaker.
The innovative mounting system allows the SM 26 to slide onto the mount and lock into place. In the same installation step, the integrated electrical contacts on the speaker automatically mate with the pre-wired contacts on the mounting plate to speed up and simplify installation. A release on the speaker baffle allows for quick removal from the mount. The release is lockable and hidden, and together with the concealed speaker wiring contacts, helps to deter theft.
To meet a variety of installation needs, the extremely flexible mounting system includes a 0° mounting plate and a 10° mounting adapter. The 0° mounting plate provides the electrical connections and allows the SM 26 to be oriented vertically or horizontally, flush with the wall. When the versatile 10° mounting adapter is added to the mounting plate, the SM 26 can be positioned with a 10° tilt downward, upward, left, or right.
The SM 26 saves time and installation costs for AV system contractors working with low-voltage contractors in a division-of-labor installation. During rough-in, a low-voltage contractor installs the mounting system on the wall and terminates the speaker cable to the mount's integrated wiring contacts. Later, the AV system contractor completes the installation by sliding the SM 26 onto the mount.
A pivot mount is available as an optional accessory for the SM 26. It allows for 360° of speaker rotation for maximum flexibility in aiming speakers. Pivot mounts are available in black or white to match the SM 26 speaker.
A Yoke Mount is available as an optional accessory for the SM 26. It allows for vertical or horizontal speaker mounting on a wall, or on a ceiling, with 180° of pivot available in 10° detented steps. The detents allow a consistent pivot angle to be set for multiple speakers. Yoke Mounts are available in black or white to match the SM 26 speaker.
The SM 26 speaker is ideally suited for classrooms, conference rooms, exercise facilities, retail spaces, and other environments where surface mount speakers are desired, but wall space for speaker placement is limited. It provides a wide frequency range and high performance voice and music reproduction for a variety of sound reinforcement applications.
The SM 26 is sold in pairs and is available in a black or white finish. It includes a 0° mounting plate and a 10° mounting adapter, and a 5 year parts and labor warranty.
