PA Speaker installation
The speaker mount can be installed vertically on a wall,
flat post or support column; or can be mounted
horizontally from a ceiling or rafter beam.
Once the speaker location has been determined the
Speaker Mounting Template may be used to mark the
mounting surface. When using the Speaker Mounting
Template keep in mind that the speaker wire exit is toward
the floor on a wall mounted installation, and toward the
front of the speaker in a ceiling mounted installation.
The Loudmouth
™
speaker may be secured to a variety of
surfaces, with each installation presenting unique
requirements for mounting hardware. With this in mind,
mounting screws or hardware are not included with the
Loudmouth
™
.
Guidelines for mounting the Loudmouth
™
speaker:
•
The
Loudmouth
™
speaker can be safely mounted to concrete, metal or wood surfaces. Other surfaces are
possible provided they can support the weight of the speaker. If mounting to a drywall or concrete surface
the use of expansion anchors is recommended.
•
Secure the speaker tightly to the mounting surface, using all 6 mounting holes if possible. At high audio
output levels the speaker can generate significant vibration and must be rigidly secured. This is particularly
critical with drywall surfaces, which are highly susceptible to vibration damage.
•
Be sure the speaker wire exits cleanly from under the speaker mounting bracket through the wire exit
tunnel provided. Pinching the speaker wires could cause a short that will destroy the Loudmouth
™
receiver
audio amplifier.
•
Route the speaker wire closely against a wall or support
beam. Speaker wire hanging in free space is easily
snagged and could be pulled from the Loudmouth
™
receiver or worse yet, pulled from the speaker itself
causing permanent damage.
•
1 inch long, #8 or #10 round-head screws should be
used to mount the speaker. Wood screws, sheet metal
screws, machine screws with nuts, or drywall anchors
and screws will all work well depending on your specific
requirements. Pan-head screws should not be used to
prevent damage to the mounting bracket due to over-
tightening.
