Installing the mounting bracket on a pole
The speaker can be installed horizontally or vertically on a pole up to 1"
(2.54 cm) in diameter with two standard 5/16 x 1-3/8 x 1/2" U-bolts with 5/16-
18" threads. For a horizontal installation, install the mounting bracket with
its end "C" slots at the top. Also, when installing the speaker outdoors in the
horizontal position, locate the mounting bracket high enough so the front of
the speaker will point down toward the listening area.
Installation on pole
Pass two standard U-bolts behind the pole and slide bracket over ends.
1.
Attach bracket with lock washers and bolts, and tighten.
2.
Installation on in-ground pole
The speaker can be mounted on an in-ground pole with buried cable.
First, consult your local utility companies to learn of existing buried cables,
pipes or lines. Be aware of any local building code requirements that may be
applicable.
1. Drive a 1" (2.54 cm) pipe into the ground at the prequalified location.
Determine the length and location for the cable trench and dig below the
frost line. Use either direct buried speaker cable or cable run through
conduit.
2. Pass two standard U-bolts behind the pole and slide bracket over ends.
3. Attach bracket with lock washers and bolts, and tighten.
4. Leave about 2 feet of cable at the speaker end for connections and
adjustments.
