Mounting
If using the loudspeaker only (no optional mount), the loudspeaker can be set on any appropriate surface. The cabinet will lean
back at a slight angle when set on a flat surface.
When operated at high output levels, the cabinet can generate sufficient vibration, causing the cabinet to move or creep if set on
a hard surface. Use anti-slip matting under the cabinet or self-adhesive rubber feet to keep the cabinet from creeping.
On the back of the loudspeaker, near the bottom, is a safety cable attachment point. Install a safety cable strong enough to sup-
port several times the weight of the loudspeaker assembly in the event it may fall. The cable must be secured to a secondary sup-
port point which is also strong enough to support several times the loudspeaker’s weight.
IMPORTANT! ENSURE THAT THE
LOUDSPEAKER IS MOUNTED
PROPERLY AND A SAFETY
CABLE IS INSTALLED TO RETAIN THE
LOUDSPEAKER IN THE EVENT OF A
MOUNTING FAILURE.
Ensure the mounting surface and supporting struc-
ture are appropriately strong enough to support the
loudspeaker assembly and any potential vibration or
seismic activity.
Attach a safety cable to the attachment point on the
bottom-back of the loudspeaker. Ensure the safety
cable, cable attachment technique, securing hard-
ware, and attachment points are strong enough to
support several times the weight of the loudspeaker
in the event of a primary-mount failure.
Optional Mounts Available
ID-8 and ID-8T IntelliDock™ Mounts (YM-8 models, see p.6)
This mount features a quick-connect/disconnect latch which
provides electrical connections and a highly-adjustable ball-
type mount. This mount allows for all mounts and wiring to be
fully installed and the loudspeakers to be placed at the last
possible moment.
A security retaining screw for the latch in included, making
speaker removal impossible without the correct Allen (hex) bit
to remove the screw. The IntelliDock mount and its wiring
feed-through bushing provide maximum weather resistance
and maximum acoustic coverage range adjustment.
The ID-8T is identical to the ID-8, but equipped with an audio matching
transformer with 70V and 100V distributed audio input capability.
Refer to the instructions included with the mount for detailed informa-
tion.
Optional ID-8 and ID-8T Mounting Procedure
1- Secure the ball mount bracket to the mounting surface.
The adapter plate can be removed if desired, however, we
recommend its use. Ensure the mounting surface and sup-
porting structure are appropriately strong enough to sup-
port the loudspeaker assembly and any potential vibration
or seismic activity.
2- Feed the speaker wire through the cover. Secure
the cover to the ball-mount assembly.
