SHS-6T2
Strategically Hidden Speaker
General Description
The SHS-6T2 is comprised of a two-way driver inside a concealed
enclosure providing high-definition sound. The sealed enclosure is tuned
for deep bass performance. This hidden driver will amaze listeners who
are shocked by the sound level coming from what is virtually unseen.
The transducer is attached to the SHS’s tunnel waveguide to take the
sound performance to the next level. As the sound exits the waveguide,
it travels through the patented adaptive dispersion lens that acts as a
phase plug. The acoustic result is all frequencies are radiated evenly and
annoying “hot spots” that are found directly below the loudspeakers are
minimized. This makes the SHS not only a great solution for sound and
music reinforcement, but also a great sound masking loudspeaker as
well.
The SHS ships with the ability to utilize the Adaptive Dispersion Lens in
three different configurations for various applications. Sound masking
installations and installations with low ceilings (less than 10') should use
the 4mm dispersion lens with solid panel attached. Installations with
ceilings between 10' and 14' should use the 8mm dispersion lens with
the solid panel attached. Installations with ceiling heights above 14' or in
applications that require maximum intelligibility, the 4mm direct fire lens
should be used with the perforated panel attached.
The concealed design is achieved using a patented 3" diameter
dispersion lens with a micro trim ring. Once installed, the visual
appearance is minimized to the size of a high-end ceiling sprinkler head.
The SHS can become a true chameleon through AtlasIED’s DesignLab.
AtlasIED offers custom color matching via UV printer that enables an
integrator to submit an image or sample of the ceiling, then, using a
state-of-the-art print service, a custom lens and trim ring that matches
the submitted sample will be shipped to the customer.
The SHS is also an installer’s dream with its integrated rail system. All
the parts are built into the enclosure including the tile rails, with no rail
screws required for installation. Once the four rails are pulled out from
the enclosure it is ready for installation. An installer only needs to drill a
three-inch hole into the ceiling tile, set the product through the hole, and
snap on the adaptive dispersion lens.

Applications
In today's commercial building designs, architects rank aesthetics more
important than performance. For ceiling loudspeakers, great sound is a
requirement, but the designers also want the speakers to be out of sight
and out of mind. AtlasIED's Strategically Hidden Loudspeaker is the first
solution of its kind that addresses the aesthetics of the loudspeaker in
the ceiling along with delivering exceptional sound quality. The SHS can
be deployed in paging, background music, or sound masking applications
in a variety of installation types.
