Installing the mounting bracket
The speaker can be installed horizontally or vertically. For a horizontal
installation, install the mounting bracket with its end "C" slots at the top. Also,
when installing the speaker outdoors in the horizontal position, locate the
mounting bracket high enough so the front of the speaker will point down
toward the listening area.
Note: The bracket must be securely attached to the mounting surface. For
an exterior plywood wall with siding, use rust-resistant screws long enough
to penetrate the siding and plywood. For a standard interior hollow wall, we
recommend screwing the bracket to the wall studs whenever possible. If the
speaker must be mounted between studs, use a minimum of two hollow-wall
anchors to secure the bracket. For a masonry wall, use suitable anchors.
Installation on wood
1. Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark the locations of the
mounting screws.
2. Drill pilot holes for the screws.
3. For an exterior wall, apply a ring of caulk or sealant around each hole.
4. Screw the bracket to the wall or other surface.
Installation on a hollow wall
1. Once you have determined roughly where to mount the speakers, use
a stud finder to locate the wall studs and mark their location.
2. Using the bracket as a template, mark the mounting screw locations.
3. If you are attaching the bracket to studs, use a small drill to make pilot
holes for the mounting screws. If you are using hollow-wall anchors, use
a drill of the size recommended by the anchor manufacturer.
4. Screw the mounting bracket to the wall studs with the screws provided, or
secure the wall anchors in the wall and attach the bracket to them.
Installation on masonry
1. Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark the locations of the
mounting screws.
2. Use a masonry drill to make pilot holes for the anchors.
3. Insert the suitable masonry anchors into the pilot holes and attach the
mounting bracket with screws.
