recommended� Asystems is not responsible for any
damage sustained from improper wiring and/or negligent
installation of bracket or loudspeaker systems�
MOUNTING
The yoke bracket (see illustration below) should first be
attached to a structure capable of supporting the weight
of the SM-56� After this is done, the speaker can be
mounted on the yoke bracket using the provided thumb
screw� Tighten the thumb screws appropriately so as to
hold the speaker firmly in place�
A ball mount assembly (illustrated below) is also
available for the SM-56 speaker and is sold separately�
This provides more versatile speaker angling as it
swivels upon a ball pivot� Like the above yoke mount,
installation should first involve firmly attaching the ball
mount assembly to the wall� The speaker can then be
attached by the available screw terminal� Ensure the
speaker is fastened tight�
