Z5027 E3 Ball joint wall bracket

The E3 Ball joint wall bracket allows a single E3 loudspeaker to be

mounted on a ceiling, wall or other suitable surface and enables the

loudspeaker to be aimed at almost any angle.

Assembly

Each E3 Ball joint wall bracket is supplied with two M8x18 hex head

bolts, plain and shakeproof washers. These fixings are used to bolt

the mounting plate to the mating M8 threaded inserts on one of the

four side panels of the E3 loudspeaker (tool required: open-end

spanner or ring spanner 13 mm across flats).
A tube section connects the ball joint housing to a square mounting

plate with four fixing holes which accept 6 mm screws.
Fixing bolts longer than those supplied must not be used. Longer

bolts can punch in the E3 threaded inserts breaching the cabinet’s

air-tight seal.

Load safety information

The E3 Ball joint wall bracket is designed to support the 8 kg weight

of a single E3 loudspeaker. Because of the heavier weight of the E1,

it cannot be used with that cabinet.
For wall mounting, the E3 Ball joint wall bracket is fitted to the top or

bottom of the loudspeaker cabinet , the maximum vertical angle is

restricted to 20°. For greater vertical angles, mount the bracket on

one of the cabinet side panels.

Operation

The Ball joint is secured in position using two screws on opposite sides

of the ball. A thumb screw allows quick setting of the angle, and a

hidden screw (3 mm internal Allen screw) is used to firmly secure the

Ball joint in the selected position.
Before the joint is installed, first set the hidden screw so that you can

feel a slight resistance when you turn the joint with the thumb screw

slackened off. When the thumb screw is tightened the Ball joint

should lock securely in the selected position.
