Bookshelf Mounting
For shelf mounting, use the enclosed conical feet.
The feet are rubber-tipped to absorb vibration and
to prevent marring your shelves. The feet can be
used to tilt the system forward or backward if
needed. For example, using two feet at the front
and no back feet will tilt the system upward
approximately 10 degrees. Two feet at the back and
none at the front will tilt the system forward
slightly. Bringing the two back feet forward toward
the center line will increase the down tilt (if
mounted on a high shelf). You might try the feet
before permanent mounting. Mount the feet by
peeling back the paper covering over the self-
adhesive pads. Make sure that the area for attach-
ment is clean and dry.
Bracket Mounting
The CLS.5 loudspeaker includes a versatile wall-
mounting bracket. With it, you can aim the system
over a wide range of angles. The bracket slots into
the back of the CLS.5 to preserve its appearance.
Wires can come through the wall and through the
center of the bracket; or if run external to the
wall, can go through small holes at either end of
the bracket.
Note:
The design of the bracket allows a wide
swing from perpendicular to the wall to nearly
parallel to the wall in one direction. Before mount-
ing the bracket, make sure that you are using the
proper bracket orientation to allow the system to
swing in the desired direction.
Note:
Use the two toggle bolts supplied for
mounting to plaster board. Any smaller inserts will
not be sufficient to hold its weight.
1. Mount the bracket to the wall first and then
mount the speaker to the bracket.
2. Mark the location for drilling through the
bracket’s mounting holes. Then drill two

inch diameter holes.
3. Insert the bolts through the bracket and start
the toggle bolts onto the threads.
4. Pass the wire through the appropriate hole and
then push both toggle bolts through the

inch holes. The toggle bolts will fold up to go
into the hole and then spring back. It may be
easier to tighten the toggle bolts by pulling out-
ward on the bracket while tightening the bolts.
Proceed with care because once the toggle bolts
are inserted into the wall, they will not come
out.
5. Once the bolts are tight, connect the wires and
mount the speaker to the bracket. The supplied
Allen Bolts and hex wrench will hold the speaker
tightly at the desired orientation.
Aftermarket Mounts
A single tapped hole on the back of the system can
be used for any of the available pivoting brackets
