Introduction

Compact full-range speaker with Clevermount™

The ATEO is a series of extraordinary loudspeakers especially designed for fixed install

indoor applications, ranging from modern residential applications to the most demanding

designer applications in environments such as retail stores, pubs, restaurants or even

clubs.

The ATEO2 is the ultra-compact model of this series, which smoothly integrates into any

interior like no other loudspeaker. Fitted with an 2” aluminum cone driver, it provides a

full-range, warm and detailed sound with an improved response in the low frequencies

due to the ported enclosure. It features a stunningly designed and elegant looking ABS

housing which is fitted with High-Quality components. What makes this loudspeaker

range so exceptional is the specially designed mounting bracket using the Clevermount™

technology, making the loudspeakers cabinet flow together with the mounting bracket

providing a great ease for installing the loudspeaker in one good-looking entity.

The installation of the speaker is done by fixing the included wall-plate to the desired

mounting location and fitting the included connector to the wires. After this is done, the

connector should be plugged to the socket on the speaker side and fixing the speaker

to the wall plate by a simple quarter turn.

All Ateo series speakers are available in Black (/B) or White (/W).

Installing the ATEO

Clevermount™ Technology

Every Ateo speaker uses the unique Clevermount™technology, making the loudspeaker

cabinet flow together with the mounting bracket and providing a great ease for installing

the loudspeaker in one good-looking entity.

Using this technology, the speaker can be installed at any location in both a horizontal and

vertical way, providing the possibility for pointing the speaker into the desired direction,

even after the speaker is already mounted and connected.

The horizontal installation method provides an additional advantage when the installation

height on the wall or ceiling is limited, while the directional capabilities make it easy to

determine and adjust the distribution of sound throughout the area.

The installation of the loudspeaker should be done according to a simple 5-step

procedure, which is described below:

Step 1: Attach the Wall Plate

The first step to be taken is mounting the supplied wall plate to the desired location on

the wall. The wall plate has to be fixed by four screws in a quadrangular shape. The

mutual distance is 28,3 mm in both horizontal and vertical way as indicated in the image

below. The wires coming from the amplifier have to be fed through the hole in the center

of the wall plate. The used fasteners should be chosen according to the mounting surface

(brick, concrete, wood, ... )

28,3

Step 2: Make the connections

After the wall plate is mounted, the connections shall be made. The ATEO2 only

allows connection in low impedance (8 Ohm) mode and therefore two terminals are

provided. The included 2-pin terminal block connector should be assembled to the

wires coming from the amplifier which are fed through the hole in the center of the

wall plate.

The correct polarity is marked on the connector. Make sure the polarity is always

correct throughout the entire system.

Mind the polarity markings when wiring the loudspeaker cables.

Step 3: Attach the speaker

After the wall plate is mounted and the connector assembled, the connector shall be

plugged into the counterpart on the loudspeakers’ rear side and fixed to the wall plate.

Simply bring the speaker to the wall plate, and make sure the cams on the speaker side

are moving into the recesses on the wall plate. When matched, the speaker will fit nicely

on the wall plate and can be secured by rotating the bracket until both parts are locked

together with a ‘click’.

Step 4: Position the loudspeaker

The last step in the mounting procedure of the speaker is pointing it into the correct

direction. The Ateo 2 features a spring-loaded mechanism allowing directional adjustment

of the loudspeaker without requiring any tools.

Just carefully point the speaker into the correct direction and it will automatically remain

in the right direction.

NOTE:

The spring loaded directional adjustment system might require some adjustment

depending of the environment the speaker is installed. For example in environments

with very intense vibrations, it can be recommended to adjust it more tightly. It can be

tightened or loosened by adjusting the allen-key bolt on the inner side of the speaker

bracket (accessible from the rear side of the loudspeaker).

Step 5: Enjoy the music!

After the Ateo 2 has been installed correctly, you deserve to have a short break! Relax

and enjoy its sound.
