astronaut installation

The Astronaut includes a mounting bracket for simple, low-cost installation to common classroom and conference room ceilings. The bracket's intuitive twist-on, twist-off functionality allows for quick speaker installation and removal.

Shown here, the Astronaut is installed in a standard classroom with false ceiling tiles. Generally, power is located in the ceiling and shared with a multimedia projector. Click here for full illustration.

Ceiling Bracket

The ceiling-mount bracket allows for fast installation to any false or solid ceiling. For security, the included eye bolt prevents unwanted removal from below the ceiling.

Power Considerations

Typical installations run power from an outlet in the ceiling that is often shared with a projector. For rooms where power is located down in the room, we offer a long run power cabling package.
The Astronaut includes your choice of wall mount or desktop external power supply:
  • Wall Mount Power Supply
    Choose this power supply when the AC outlet is near the mounting location. Typically, the power source is shared with and located near a projector.
  • Desktop Power Supply
    Choose this power supply when the AC outlet location requires AC power extension cables or international plugs.

Audio Source Considerations

The Astronaut can be hooked up to a variety of different A/V devices. Its built-in 3-channel mixer accepts up to 3 simultaneous devices (3.5 mm, stereo or mono). Prior to installation, please ensure that you have the appropriate length and style source and adapter cables.

Room Considerations

The Astronaut is very forgiving and does not need to be in the center of the room for the best sound quality. Typically, installers choose a location near the projector in order to share the same power source in the ceiling.

For the best audio experience:
  • Install into rooms with 12 ft. or lower ceilings
  • Center the speaker above where the majority of listeners are seated
  • Consider ambient noise levels when choosing between the CL or XL systems
  • For larger than standard classrooms, consider the XL for its louder performance
