Product Information

Full details

Its key benefit is providing retractable 6.35mm (¼”) Stereo and 4 Pole SPEAKON connectors, keeping installations neat and protected from dust.

Troubleshooting

No audio signal from SPEAKON connector

Verify that the speaker cable is securely connected to both the plate and the amplifier. Check wiring at the SPEAKON terminal on the wall plate for continuity and correct polarity. Ensure the amplifier channel is active and the volume is up.

Crackling or intermittent audio from 6.35mm jack

Check the cable connection at both ends. Inspect the 6.35mm socket on the wall plate for any debris or damage. Re-solder connections if necessary, ensuring a clean connection.

Plate mechanism is stiff or won't pop up/down

Gently check for any obstructions around the plate's edges or mechanism. Ensure no cables are pinched. Apply a small amount of lubricant suitable for plastic/metal mechanisms if needed, sparingly.

Screws are visible after installation

Ensure the wall plate is correctly seated onto the back box. Double-check the alignment and mounting points to confirm the screw-less feature is engaged as intended.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers a clean, professional, and discreet connection solution.
  • Provides versatile audio connectivity with both stereo and SPEAKON options.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity and reliable signal transfer.
  • Easy cable management through the included back box.
  • Screw-less design enhances aesthetic appeal when installed.

Cons

  • Installation requires careful attention to hide screws for the intended aesthetic.
  • Dimensions are fixed, which might limit placement in very tight spaces.
  • Requires soldering for certain connection types, which may not be suitable for all users.
  • Pop-up mechanism could be a point of mechanical wear over extended, heavy use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure a suitable cut-out (165mm x 84mm) is prepared in the mounting surface (wall, desk, floor).
  2. Feed cables through the knockout holes of the metal back box and into the wall plate.
  3. Connect wires to the appropriate terminals on the 6.35mm and SPEAKON connectors. Soldering may be required for some connections.
  4. Secure the metal back box to the mounting surface.
  5. Attach the wall plate to the back box, ensuring the screw-less design is correctly aligned for hidden screws when closed.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard audio equipment using 6.35mm (¼”) plugs and SPEAKON connectors.
  • Designed for installation in surfaces up to a certain thickness, dictated by the back box depth (60mm).

Care:

  • To clean, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Periodically check that connections are secure and free from dust, especially if the unit is left in the popped-down position for extended periods.
  • Ensure the pop-up mechanism operates smoothly. If resistance is felt, check for obstructions.
