General considerations and hardware recommendations

CAUTION:

 PM series models weigh as much as 21 pounds (7.9kg) – model PM8CX. A fall from almost any height could result in serious injury 

or death. Assure that the speaker is firmly mounted to an object that can handle the weight of the PM speaker. The mounting surface the PM 
speaker is being attached to should be able to handle five or more times the weight of the PM speaker 

The hardware employed must be safely and securely attached both to the loudspeaker and the structure in question, using only the mounting 
holes. A general rule for soft surface installations (wood beams) is to multiply the corresponding working load limit by 75%: the result will be 
approximate working load strength. Use thread locking compound for all installations.

CAUTION:

 Mounting the PM loudspeaker may require two people.

When in doubt contact a qualified structural/mechanical engineer for approval of the mounting materials and methods.

1.   Remove the 3 top cover mounting screws, loosen the 2 side top cover screws rotate the top cover counterclockwise, and pull up to remove 

the top cover. (Fig 1 and 2)

2.  Locate suitable support structure in the area the speaker is to be installed.

3.   Route the bare end of the main support cable though the included clamp, then around the mounting structure, and back through the clamp. 

(Fig 3 and 4)

4.  Adjust the cable length in the clamp so that the eyelet end of the cable is at the final height above the floor. (Fig 5)

5.   (For PM8) Route the eyelet end of the main support cable through the top cover of the PM speaker, attach the included carabiner clip to 

the eyelet and the large mounting hole on the back of the PM speaker. (Fig 6a) (For PM4) Route the eyelet end of the main support cable 
through the top cover of the PM speaker, attach the eyelet to the large mounting hole on the back of the PM speaker using included 
mounting screw. (Fig 6b)

6.   Repeat steps 1-4 for the safety cable and attach it the one of the smaller mounting holes on the support plate of the PM speaker with the 

included mounting screw. (Fig 6)

7.  Route the speaker cable through the top cover and connect to the appropriate terminals.

8.   Position the top cover over the side cover screws and rotate the cover clockwise to align the top cover mounting screw holes. Reinstall the 

3 mounting screws, tighten and tighten the side cover screws.

9.   Slide the top hole plug over the main support cable, safety cable, and speaker cable using the opening on the side of the plug. Then slide 

the plug down the cable and into the top cover hole. (Fig 7 and 8)

Note: If the speaker is being installed outdoors, seal plug with RTV silicone to prevent moisture from entering speaker.
