The Lowell AP - 700 grille and frame is an excellent choice for your clock and speaker setup. It's designed to fit a paging speaker, a standard 12 - inch analog clock, and a surface - mount backbox (clock, speaker, and backbox not included). This two - piece (grille subplate) assembly offers great flexibility. The subplate can be mounted to the grille after bracket and speaker installation. It's suitable for surface - mount installation in both horizontal and vertical orientations. The grille, made from a single piece of 18 - gauge steel, measures 26 in. x 14.5 in. It has a full - perforation face and an integral frame border. The subplate features two cutouts, one for a standard 12 - inch analog clock and one for an 8 - inch speaker.
Using the Lowell AP - 700 grille and frame is easy. First, install the bracket and speaker as needed. Then, mount the subplate to the grille. You can choose to install it horizontally or vertically on a surface. Remember, the clock, speaker, and backbox are not included, so you'll need to get those separately. When it comes to maintenance, keep it clean by wiping it with a dry cloth regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the 18 - gauge steel. If you notice any loose parts, make sure to tighten them up to keep the assembly in good condition.
