Installing the Mounting Bracket
The RM691 can be installed horizontally or vertically.
For a horizontal installation, install the mounting brack-
et with its end 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.
Note:
The bracket must be securely attached to the
mounting surface. For an exterior plywood wall with
siding, use rust-resistant screws long enough to pen-
etrate the siding and plywood. For a standard interior
hollow wall, we recommend screwing the bracket to the
wall studs whenever possible. If the speaker must be
mounted between studs, use a minimum of two hollow-
wall anchors to secure the bracket. For a masonry wall,
use suitable anchors.
Installation on wood
1. Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark the
locations of the mounting screws.
2. Drill pilot holes for the screws.
3. For an exterior wall, apply a ring of caulk or sealant
around each pilot hole.
4. Screw the bracket to the wall or other surface.
Installation on a hollow wall
1. Once you have determined roughly where to mount
the speakers, use a stud fi nder to locate the wall
studs and mark their location.
2. Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark the
mounting screw locations.
3. If you are attaching the bracket to studs, use a small
drill to make pilot holes for the mounting screws. If
you are using hollow-wall anchors, use a drill of the
size recommended by the anchor manufacturer.
4. Screw the mounting bracket to the wall studs with
the screws provided, or secure the wall anchors in the
wall and attach the bracket to them.
Installation on masonry
1. Obtain masonry anchors suitable for the type of wall
material.
2. Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark the
locations of the mounting screws.
3. Use a masonry drill to make pilot holes for the
anchors.
4. Insert the anchors into the pilot holes and attach the
mounting bracket with screws.
INSTALLATION
Attaching the Speaker
1. Thread the knobs halfway into the the ends of the
speaker, leaving about ¼ inch (6 mm) of their threads
exposed.
2. Slip the knob threads into the slots in the mounting
bracket.
3. Rotate the speaker so you have access to the
terminals.
