VERIS 6/8/26/28 Yoke Assembly Instructions
1. Assembling the yoke and/or optional stand-offs to the VERIS loudspeaker is relatively straightforward.
There are four mounting options for each loudspeaker:
Horizontal
0°
mounting
Vertical
0°
mounting
Vertical 10° downward tilt mounting
Vertical 20° downward tilt mounting
Choose your mounting option and then follow the appropriate assembly diagram in this instruction guide.
2. For vertical mounting of the loudspeaker at a downward tilt, select either the 10° or 20° metal stand-off
and attach it to the yoke by using the M10 x 30mm hex bolt, two flat washers, a lockwasher and M10 hex
nut, as depicted in the appropriate assembly diagram for your loudspeaker model. Pay careful attention to
the orientation of the yoke (short corner and long corner) in relation to the enclosure and the correct slot on
the yoke into which the stand-off should be connected. The orientation of the yoke and the correct slot
position varies by loudspeaker model. For horizontal and vertical mounting at 0°, the stand-offs are not
needed.
3. Before installing the loudspeaker in the yoke, the yoke (or yoke and metal stand-off assembly) should
first be attached to the mounting surface. No hardware is provided for this purpose. Such hardware must
be supplied by the installer, and should be rated for the weight load of the enclosures. The installer is solely
responsible for determining if the hardware used to mount the yoke is adequately sized and rated, and if the
structure to which it is attached is capable of safely supporting the weight load of the enclosure.
4. Installing the loudspeaker in the yoke is straightforward. First remove two of the flat-head Allen screws
that come installed in the loudspeaker, one each in the center of the top and bottom panels.
5. A series of holes are provided to allow the enclosure to be positioned at varying distances from the
mounting surface. Note that the closer the yoke is to the rear of the enclosure, the less the range of motion
will be. Determine which pair of holes will be used, making sure to leave enough clearance for the
loudspeaker wire and connector(s).
6. Next, fit each of the two M6 x 30mm bolts with a lock washer and a flat washer. Place the two large
rubber washers between the yoke and the loudspeaker, then pass each bolt through the yoke bracket and
the rubber washer into the loudspeaker’s rigging fitting. Tighten the fasteners until snug. After focusing the
loudspeaker in the desired position, the bolts should be tightened to a torque of approximately 12 to 15 foot-
pounds. Do not overtighten!
