JBL Intellivox Installation Manual
Mounting Options
The Intellivox has two or three (depending on the model)
attachment points at the rear of the enclosure; the device
should be mounted using the appropriate brackets fixed at
these points. Each point consists of four M5 threaded
inserts and only the screws supplied with the original
mounting hardware should be used.
The threaded inserts are M5 metric and the
depth is 16 mm.
There are three options for mounting the Intellivox column:
1. The first (and most often used) method is to use the
standard mounting brackets supplied with the unit.
Two or three brackets will be supplied, according to the
Intellivox model. Dimensions of the bracket are shown in
the drawing below.
fig.13.1 - Standard bracket dimensions in mm
The standard brackets allow mounting of the Intellivox on
a straight wall or on a curved surface (e.g., a pillar) with a
gap of 25 mm (1.0") between the rear of the enclosure and
the wall. If the unit requires three mounting points (as on
the larger Intellivox models) ensure that all three points are
in the same plane, to avoid the unit being bent when the
screws are tightened.
The mounting procedure is given on page 18 under
"Mounting Procedure".
2. A second method is to mount the Intellivox using
(optional) swivel brackets which allow the plane of the
column's vertical radiating axis to be at an angle other than
90 degrees to the wall. In this case two or three (depending
on the model) swivel brackets are needed. The horizontal
angle of the swivel brackets can be secured by the
hexagonal nut. The swivel brackets are mounted to the rear
201401/IvxIM_v2.2
of the enclosure by the four M5 pan head screws instead of
the standard brackets. Two versions of swivel bracket are
available, permitting the Intellivox to be rotated through
45 or 90 degrees either way respectively. Refer to page 22
for ordering information.
3. The third method is to mount the column within a
recess in the wall or dedicated mounting panel so that the
front of the unit is flush. This is a specialised mounting
situation which will be encountered only rarely. In this case
longer M5 screws than those supplied will be required, and
it should be noted that the threaded inserts on the rear of
the enclosure are 16 mm deep. Access to the rear of the
unit will still be required for the cables. Because of the
proximity of the unit to the walls, particular attention
should be paid to the avoidance of acoustic resonances.
With all mounting methods, it is advised to keep the rear
side of the Intellivox free from the wall in order to prevent
unwanted resonances. If mounting the unit onto or into a
cavity wall, it is advisable to insert rockwool or similar
sound-absorbing material into the cavity in the vicinity of
the loudspeaker.
