FastMount
®
series con-
sists of three extended-
bandwidth  loudspeakers
that establish a new
benchmark for rugged-
ness, weather-resistance,
ease of installation and
performance in commer-
cial/professional outdoor
speakers. All FastMount models feature a polypropylene cone woofer (FMS860: 8”;
FMS660: 6½”; FMS530: 5¼”) and a 1” polyurethane dome tweeter that ensure
superior-quality sound even in outdoor areas with minimal reflecting surfaces.
The exclusive patent-pending FastMount bracket allows these loudspeakers to easily
snap and lock securely into place. Removal is performed via a hidden release tab
located behind the speaker grille. These brackets make it easy for installers to
mount FastMount loudspeakers as close as one inch to the mounting surface in a
vertical or horizontal position, on a pole or across a corner. Once in place,
FastMount loudspeakers can pivot 180 degrees and can be rotated by a regulated
indexed position system that ensures consistent placement from one speaker to
another for uniform appearance and accurate soundfield reproduction.
An equally valuable, all-new FastMount feature is a new Protected-Access
Connection Terminal (PACT) that protects wire connectors from weather corrosion
while making installation easier. PACT accepts input cabling via concealed, 
weatherproof, rubber-grommeted rear-panel ports and directs it to the front, 
baffle-side of each loudspeaker. Signal connections are made there, behind a
sealed access panel, while the speaker is secure in its mounting bracket. This 
eliminates any risky acrobatics on ladders for installers.
FastMount speakers are transformer-coupled, with taps for both 70V and 100V
operation and 8-ohm bypass. All FastMount models feature a rugged, paintable,
weather-resistant polypropylene enclosure and a paintable perforated aluminum
grille, and are available in black and white.

Specification:
The loudspeaker shall be of the two-way type
comprising a single surface-mount enclosure
containing one polypropylene low frequency
transducer (FMS860: 8”; FMS660: 6½”;
FMS530: 5¼”) and one 1" (25mm)
polyurethane dome high frequency transducer.
Frequency response shall be 45Hz – 20kHz
(FMS860); 55Hz – 20kHz (FMS660); 65Hz –
20kHz (FMS530);. Total power handling shall
be 125 watts (FMS860); 80 watts (FMS660);
70 watts (FMS530) program. Sensitivity meas-
ured with 2.83 volts input at 1 meter on-axis
shall be 91dB (FMS860); 89dB (FMS660);
88dB (FMS530). The unit shall be supplied
with a line matching transformer suitable for
100 volt or 70 volt operation with a front-
mounted control allowing user-selectable
power taps and an 8 ohm bypass.
The speaker shall include a FastMount brack-
et that allows for a full 180° of pivot while
keeping the speaker less than 1” from the
mounting surface.
Wire shall be terminated on the front of the
enclosure and fed through a Protected Access
Connection Terminal system. The enclosure
and baffle shall be injection molded using
polypropylene, in either black or white.
The loudspeaker shall be the Sound Advance
FastMount FMS860B (black), FMS860W
(white), FMS660B (black), FMS660W (white),
FMS530B (black) or FMS530W (white), as
described above. No other system shall be
acceptable unless the above combined 
performance specifications are equaled or
exceeded.
