Building construction practices and materials vary
widely based on your geographical region as well as
the building’s style and age. You will need to adapt
these generalized instructions for your specific needs.
In particular, the method you use to attach the brack-
ets to the mounting surface will differ for various con-
struction types. Because of this, we have not included
hardware to attach the brackets to the building. In
most cases this hardware will consist of some form of
metal or plastic insert with matching screws. If you are
attaching directly to a wood framework, simple wood
screws will be all you need. Make sure that whatever
hardware you choose is made from rust resistant mate-
rial, such as Stainless Steel. Your local building supply
or hardware store will be best equipped to recommend
appropriate mounting hardware for your needs.
1. Remove the bracket from the speaker by removing
the thumbscrews and pulling the bracket away from
the cabinet while spreading the bracket arms slightly.
2. Decide where you want the speakers to be placed.
3. Use the bracket itself to scribe mounting screw
locations through the bracket holes. Use at least
two screws in each bracket. It is recommended that
a level or plumb bob be used to square the tem-
plate to other reference points. While there is some
degree of freedom to adjust the speaker, it is best
to have a level mounting hole pattern to begin with.
4. Drill the mounting holes to the size required by your
particular hardware. If you are cutting into a wall or
ceiling with a plaster, stucco or adobe surface, drill
a small hole first, then increase its size a few steps
at a time to reduce the chance of a spreading
crack. Be sure to use the proper drill type for what-
ever surface material you will be drilling.
Note:
When cutting into a wall or ceiling, be careful
not to cut into items such as wiring, conduit, or
plumbing. It is often difficult to know exactly what
lies behind the surface.
5. If you have not already done so, run the speaker
wires to the source, or local volume control. If you
are running wires through an exterior wall, seal the
through-hole with suitable caulking or RTV sealant.
