The Extron SM 28 SpeedMount® Surface Mount Speaker is a two-way speaker with a patented, concealed wall mounting system. It features an 8" (20.3 cm) woofer with dual tuned ports and a 1.1" (2.8 cm) tweeter. The SM 28 provides a frequency range from 59 Hz to 22 kHz, and a power rating of 90 watts continuous pink noise, 180 watts continuous program capacity. The Extron-exclusive mounting system is designed to accommodate division-of-labor installations and save costs. The SM 28 is available as an 8 ohm model, and an SM 28T version which can operate in 8 ohm direct as well as 70 volt and 100 volt modes. The SM 28T features a six-position power tap selector for up to 64 watts, which can conveniently be accessed through the grille from outside the speaker.

The innovative mounting system allows the SM 28 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 28 to be oriented vertically or horizontally, flush with the wall. When the versatile 10° mounting adapter is added to the mounting plate, the SM 28 can be positioned with a 10° tilt downward, upward, left, or right.

The SM 28 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 28 onto the mount.

A yoke mount is available as an optional accessory for the SM 28. 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 28 speaker.

The SM 28 speaker is ideally suited for classrooms, conference rooms, exercise facilities, retail spaces, auditoriums, spaces with raised or exposed ceilings, and other environments where surface mount speakers are desired. It provides accurate voice and detailed music reproduction for a variety of sound reinforcement applications.

The SM 28 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.
