Installing Your Soundboard - JMC Soundboard User Manual

Installing your Soundboard

You can choose between three different sorts of fixture. While it is generally fixed against a wall, you may
for space -or acoustic- related reasons choose to install it in the corner of a room thanks to a longer arm serving
to place it in an angle. The latter position will generate more bass tones. If the structure of the room does not
enable wall mounting, the Soundboard may also be placed on a dedicated stand.
The Soundboard should ideally be placed between 1.2 and 1.5 m above ground level (fixing it too high might
make you lose the sense of companionship you establish with it).
You must also take account of the structure of the wall against which it is mounted (wood, plaster, concrete,
bricks); and each material requires its own screws (and safety precautions!). Before drilling, consider any
potential electrical wiring or water pipes that may be hidden inside the wall.
It is necessary to install the JMC Soundboard with two persons.
1. Use a pencil and the supplied template to mark the exact spots of the 4 screws (not supplied) for the fixation
element.
2. Drill the holes for the screws and plugs, if necessary. Be sure to select well adapted plugs in relation to
the material of the wall material. The binding must be robust and not sensitive to vibrations (figure 1).
