CAUTION:
Due to the wide variety of building structures, materials and mounting methods, these instructions assume that the
installing contractor/installer will exercise good judgment in selecting the proper mounting area and hardware.
As a guide, the installation, when complete, should be capable of supporting at least 5 times the actual load.
Step 1 – Install the Bracket Securely to Building Structure
Select the mounting area where the speaker will be positioned. Be sure there is adequate structural strength for
mounting, such as a stud. Do not rely on drywall, acoustic tiles, etc. to support the weight of the speaker. Follow
building code requirements to safely install the bracket to the building structure. Select the proper mounting hardware
for the structure and attach with at least four fasteners (two per side). If in doubt, consult a fastener specialist. Tighten
all hardware permanently.
Step 2 – Install Speaker into Bracket
Position the speaker in between the bracket arms and install the included hardware into the speaker cabinets
threaded holes. Be sure to place the friction washers between the speaker and the bracket arms and between the
bracket washer and the bracket arms then tighten the bolts loosely, not tight.
Step 3 – Wire and Aim the Speaker
Rotate the speaker until it is aimed in the desired direction and tighten the M10 mounting bolts permanently. Secure
the desired aiming angle by tightening the M6 bolts. Warning: Do not over tighten M10 and M6 bolts.
Step 4 – Safety Cable
It is strongly recommended that the speaker be secured to the mounting structure with a properly rated safety cable
attached to an M10 forged eye-bolt (not included) installed in the provided M10 attachment point located on the rear
of the enclosure.
