Chapter  4.  Installing  CT28  on  the 
Horizontal Mounting Bracket

Critical information

Attention:  This wall-mount bracket is intended for installation by 
qualified professionals.

Notice:  Please read these instructions carefully and completely 
before attempting installation.

 WARNING

Improper installation or suspension of any heavy load 
can result in death or serious injury to persons, as well 
as damage to property.
It  is  the  responsibility  of  the  installation  personnel  to 
verify  and  guaranty  the  reliability  and  safety  of  the 
installation.

Notice:   This  product  must  be  installed  in  compliance  with  all 
applicable  local,  state  and  national  regulatory  provisions.  The 
responsibility rests with the installer to verify that the installation 
is carried out in accordance with any applicable legislation.

Important:   The  installer  must  assess  the  appropriate  stability 
and sturdiness of the mounting surface. In the case of wall-mount 
and  ceiling-mount  brackets,  this  includes,  but  is  not  limited  to 
verifying  the  positions  of  suitable  studs  in  the  case  of  drywall 
mounts, hollow points in concrete block or solid concrete, as well 
as the presence and vicinity of electrical wiring or plumbing.

Restriction:   Only  hardware  and  accessories  included  with 
the  product  or  specified  by  1  Sound  should  be  used  for  its 
installation.

Restriction:   Do  not  modify  or  alter  the  loudspeaker  or  any 
accessory. Any modification by the user or installer could render 
the product or the installation unsafe.

Restriction:  Do not install a loudspeaker or any accessory near 
any open flame or heat source.

Products, accessories and tools required

To install a CT28 enclosure permanently on a wall or surface using the 
Horizontal Mounting Bracket, you will need the following:

A CT28 loudspeaker enclosure

The Horizontal Mounting Bracket kit

The Angle Bar kit

An  appropriate  power  drill  and  bit  for  the  installation  surface 
material

A 4 mm hex driver and a 4 mm hex wrench (Allen)

Medium-duty  mounting  screws  or  bolts  appropriate  to  the 
mounting  surface  (coach  screws  for  drywall  studs,  concrete 
screw anchors for concrete or masonry, etc.); screws and bolts 
should have a flanged head or a coupled washer ø14-16 mm in 
order to retain the mounting plate

Appropriate  tools  for  securing  the  aforementioned  fasteners 
(power screwdriver etc.)

A torque wrench

Optional: a short two-leg steel rope bridle, 2 × M5 double-swivel 
hoist rings and appropriate tools for securing these

Recommended: pencil or marker, spirit level, stud finder

Procedures

Disassembling the Horizontal Mounting Bracket

The Horizontal Mounting Bracket ships fully assembled, but to facilitate 
installation, it should first be separated into three parts: the wall-mount 
yoke  and  the  two  end  plates  with  the  tilt-adjustment  mechanism  that 
attach to the speaker enclosure. Before disassembly, be sure to note the 
proper interlocking configuration of the tilt mechanism; this will remove 
doubts when it is time to reassemble the bracket.

Figure   48.  Removing  the  M6  bolts  from  the 
Horizontal Mounting Bracket.

Figure  49. Removing the end plates from the wall-
mount yoke.

Use a 4 mm hex wrench or hex driver to remove the two M6 
bolts from one end of the bracket. Be careful to hold both parts 
of the bracket, as the end of the bracket will be free to fall once 
the bolts have been removed. Keep these bolts, as the will be 
required to reassemble the bracket once it is installed.
