Atlas Sound SHS-6T2 – Strategically Hidden Ceiling Speaker 32W 70/100V with Enclosure

Product Overview

The Atlas Sound SHS-6T2 is an architecturally concealed in-ceiling speaker with a 32-watt 70V/100V transformer, designed for background music, paging, and sound masking in spaces where aesthetic design is a priority. Only a 3-inch diameter lens and a micro trim ring are visible at the ceiling surface, making this hidden ceiling speaker ideal for high-end commercial interiors, executive spaces, and architecturally impressive environments. The SHS-6T2 ships with three user-selectable adaptive dispersion lenses optimized for ceiling heights ranging from low-clearance installations to rooms above 14 feet, providing installation flexibility across a wide range of commercial deployment scenarios.

Product Description

The SHS-6T2 is AtlasIED's industry-first strategically hidden ceiling speaker, combining a sealed enclosure, 2-way driver complement (4.5-inch woofer, 0.79-inch tweeter), and patented waveguide technology in a package that installs through a 2.75-inch ceiling cutout. The sealed enclosure provides optimal bass response despite the compact form factor, covering 100 Hz to 15 kHz at 86 dB sensitivity with 4-ohm impedance and up to 75 watts RMS power handling. The 32-watt 70/100V transformer is built in for direct connection to distributed audio systems. Three adaptive dispersion lenses accommodate different installation scenarios: the 4mm lens with solid panel for sound masking and ceilings below 10 feet; the 8mm lens with solid panel for ceilings 10 to 14 feet; and the 4mm lens with perforated panel for ceilings above 14 feet or applications requiring maximum speech intelligibility. Installation requires pulling four integrated tile rails from the enclosure (no rail screws), drilling a 2.75-inch hole in the ceiling tile, setting the speaker in place, and snapping on the selected lens — no additional mounting hardware is needed. For architecturally distinctive ceilings, AtlasIED's DesignLab custom UV-print process (ordered separately as SHS-CUST) can color-match the lens and trim ring to virtually any ceiling color, texture, or surface material. The SHS-6T2 is backed by a 5-year limited warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I choose which dispersion lens to use?

A: Use the 4mm lens with solid panel for sound masking or ceilings below 10 feet. Use the 8mm lens with solid panel for ceilings 10 to 14 feet. For ceilings above 14 feet or where maximum speech intelligibility is required, use the 4mm lens with the perforated panel attached.

Q: Does the SHS-6T2 work with standard 70V distributed audio systems?

A: Yes. The built-in 32-watt 70V/100V transformer allows direct connection to 70V/100V distributed audio amplifiers.

Q: What ceiling cutout size is required?

A: A 2.75-inch diameter hole is required in the ceiling tile for installation.

Q: Can the lens be custom-matched to the ceiling finish?

A: Yes. AtlasIED's DesignLab custom UV-print process (SHS-CUST, ordered separately) can match the lens and trim ring to virtually any ceiling color, design, or surface material.

Q: What is the difference between the SHS-6T2 and the SHS-6T2CVR?

A: The SHS-6T2CVR includes an additional durable rubber clean room cover (SHS-CVR) that seals the ceiling aperture for pharmaceutical, medical, or other air-quality-sensitive spaces. The SHS-6T2 is the standard version without the clean room cover.

Q: What is the warranty on the SHS-6T2?

A: AtlasIED provides a 5-year limited warranty on the SHS-6T2.
