mounting and flying
VLS Series loudspeakers are designed with an
asymmetrical vertical dispersion pattern, a feature
which allows improved performance with simplified
mounting in many applications. The vertical
dispersion of the VLS 7 and VLS 15 EN54 models is
+6/-22 degrees from center axis, while the pattern
of the VLS 30 is +3/-11 degrees from center axis.
Please be aware of this feature when planning your
installation. In many situations where conventional
column loudspeakers would require substantial
downward tilt, a VLS Series loudspeaker would

require less tilt or even allow flush mounting,
thus providing a simpler installation with improved
visual aesthetics.

Wall Bracket - Each VLS Series loudspeaker is
supplied with a standard wall bracket suitable for
mounting on most wall surfaces. The bracket is
supplied as two interlocking U plates. One plate
attaches to the rear of the loudspeaker with four
supplied screws. The other part is secured to the
wall. The bar on the bottom of the speaker plate
slides into the bottom notch of the wall plate,
while the top is secured with the two supplied
screws. The bracket for the VLS 7 and 15 is
slotted to allow an angle between 0 and 6 degrees

(Fig.3). Aligning the top two screw holes of the
VLS 30 results in a flat flush mount; using the lower
two screw positions provides a 4 degree downward
tilt. (Fig.4)
Flying Bracket – Each VLS Series loudspeaker is
also supplied with a flying bracket. The bracket is
attached to the top two inserts using the supplied
M6 screws (Fig.5). The two bottom inserts can be
used as pull back if required.
Pan-Tilt Bracket (optional) – A pan-tilt bracket is
available which allows panning and tilting for flexible
orientation along both horizontal and vertical axes.
Installation instructions are provided with the bracket.
