The AtlasIED SHS Series speakers are super simple to install. Just drill a three-inch hole into the ceiling tile, set the product through the hole, and snap on the micro diffuser. The SHS has expandable tile rail arms. Simply pull to retract the arms, and you're done. No rail screws required for installation in a drop tile ceiling.

SHS-3T2

Multi-function Strategically Hidden Speaker

The AtlasIED SHS-3T2 features a single full-range driver in a multifunction enclosure, delivering high-definition sound with exceptional clarity. Its transducer is paired with a tunnel waveguide that enhances acoustic performance, while the patented adaptive dispersion lens ensures even frequency distribution and minimizes the “hot spots” often found beneath traditional speakers. This makes the SHS-3T2 ideal for sound reinforcement, music playback, and sound masking applications.

For flexible installation, the SHS-3T2 can be mounted in three ways: in-ceiling, wall, or pendant. The wall mount provides up to 90° of adjustable angle, ensuring optimal coverage. For open ceilings, the included steel suspension cable or standard ceiling fan downpipe hardware can be used, making the SHS-3T2 a versatile solution for virtually any architectural environment.

The mounting bracket can be removed when in-ceiling installation is required to minimize its height in the ceiling. An optional tile bridge, model SHS-3T2-TB, is available for drop tile ceiling installations. Once installed in the ceiling, the speaker is concealed using a patented 3" diameter dispersion lens with a micro trim ring. Once installed, the visual appearance is reduced to the size of a high-end ceiling sprinkler head. The SHS-3T2 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. For more information about the custom DesignLab process, visit https://www.atlasied.com/shs-cust.

The SHS-3T2 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 SHS-3T2 can be connected to any 70V / 100V amplifier using standard 2-conductor commercial speaker wire with the included removable 4-pole euro style connector. Additionally, when used with an AtlasIED Z-Series High-Definition Acoustical System the speakers can be connected using Cat5e cable. Each SHS-3T2 features "in" and "out" Cat5e terminals making it easy to daisy chain speakers to the Z-Series source unit.

SHS-3T2-HD

Strategically Hidden Speaker for Hard Deck Ceilings

Each SHS-3T2-HD includes a single full-range driver housed in an enclosure providing high-quality sound. 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” found directly below the speakers are minimized. This makes the SHS not only a great solution for sound and music reinforcement, but also a great sound masking speaker as well.

The SHS-3T2-HD is designed to blind mount into hard deck ceilings with a minimum clearance of 3.5" above the ceiling deck. The specially designed expansion ring locks the speaker in place. Once installed in the ceiling, the speaker is concealed using a patented 3" diameter dispersion lens with a micro trim ring. Once installed, the visual appearance is reduced to the size of a high-end ceiling sprinkler head. The SHS-3T2-HD 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.

SHS-6T2

Strategically Hidden Speaker with 32-Watt 70/100V Transformer and Enclosure

The SHS-6T2 is an industry-first strategically hidden ceiling speaker. It is designed to blend into the aesthetic of any ceiling while retaining optimal sound performance. The perfect speaker for architecturally impressive environments where you want your high-definition audio heard, not seen. SHS is easy to install and particularly useful for background music, paging/ notification and sound masking. It comes packaged with three different adaptive dispersion lenses for a variety of applications and installation locations.

Exotically different, perfectly disguised...

The SHS Series incorporates a radically different (and patented) waveguide design than any other ceiling speaker. Inside its concealed enclosure is a 2-way driver that provides high-definition sound. As the sound exits the two-way transducers, both pass through a patented adaptive diffuser lens for smooth and uniform frequency response throughout its intended ultra-wide coverage. Through years of research and design its acoustic frequencies are radiated evenly, diffusing away bothersome “hot spots” common to standard speakers making it a great solution for paging and background music as well as applications including sound masking.


Optimal Function

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 dispersion lens should be used with the perforated panel attached.


Easy Installation

Visually, only a 3-inch diameter lens and a micro trim ring are visible on the front of the ceiling. The SHS is an installer’s dream with an integrated rail system. All the installation parts are built into the enclosure including the tile rails, which require no rail screws for installation. Simply pull the four rails out from the enclosure and it’s ready for install, drill a three-inch hole in the ceiling tile, set the speaker through the hole, and snap on the adaptive dispersion lens.


Good Design Is Just As Important As Good Sound

The SHS can become a true chameleon by using the DesignLab™ by AtlasIED custom match process. When you purchase the SHS-CUST process, our state of the art UV printer can custom match the color and blend the texture of virtually any ceiling. This color match service delivers a lens and trim ring that will seamlessly match the color, design, and/or surface material of the ceiling. Remember to add the SHS-CUST to any SHS order that will be installed in striking, elegant or complex environments to maintain architectural continuity and design appeal.

SHS-LF

Strategically Hidden Subwoofer

The SHS-LF comprises 4 low frequency drivers inside a concealed enclosure providing optimal deep bass performance. The discrete sub-woofer will amaze listeners. A 70V/100V transformer is included with primary taps at 1.9, 3.8, 7.5, 15, 30, and 60 watts (@70.7V) to match and balance the subwoofer with full range speakers without the need for separate amplification. The tap selector switch also includes a trans-former bypass setting for 8Ω / direct coupled applications.

The SHS-LF 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 4 rails are pulled out from the enclosure it is ready for installation. An installer only needs to drill a 2.75" hole into the ceiling tile, set the product through the hole, and screw on the adaptive dispersion lens.

The SHS-LF ships with the ability to utilize the Adaptive Dispersion Lens in two different configurations for various applications. Installations with ceilings between 10' and 14' should use the 8mm dispersion lens with the solid lens cover attached. Installations with ceiling heights above 14' or in applications that require maximum output, the 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.
