Mounting and/or rigging loudspeakers requires experienced professionals.

Improperly installed loudspeakers can result in property damage,
personal injury, death and/or liability to the installing contractor.

To assure a trouble free installation, read through and follow these instructions
carefully before beginning. If you have doubts about the integrity of the
structure you are mounting to or you are not sure about the proper hardware
to use, consult a structural and/or hardware specialist.

Note to installing contractor:

Due to the wide variety of wall structures, materials and mounting methods,
these instructions assume that the installing contractor will exercise proper
judgment in selecting the mounting area and hardware.

As a guide, the installation, when complete should be capable of supporting 5
to 10 times the actual applied load. Also, use a back up safety system such as a
safety cable.

Step 1.
(a) For wall mounting:

Attach the mounting plate to the wall with the open center slot towards the
ceiling using the appropriate hardware for the application (Figure 1). If in
doubt, consult a local hardware specialist.
center hole of the wall plate (Figure 1).

(b) For ceiling mounting:
Predetermine the desired direction of the speaker. Attach the mounting plate to
the ceiling structure with the open center slot towards the speaker using the
appropriate hardware for the application. Push the stop pin into the lower
center hole of the wall plate (Figure 1).

Step 2.
Attach the speaker adapter plate to the appropriate mounting holes of the speaker using the manufacturer’s
suggested screws and washers. For vertically oriented speaker installations, attach per figure 2A. For horizontal

A

Assemble support arm to adapter plate by
bolting the pivot rod inside the flanges of the
speaker adapter plate with the star washer in
between the flange and the pivot rod. The
rounded surfaces of the star washer’s teeth
must seat against the pivot rod.

Important:

The sharp edges of the star washer must face
the inside surface of the speaker adapter plate
flanges to achieve proper tilt locking.

ertical Orientation

Step 4.

Thread the 3/4”-16 hex bolt through the side
holes of the adapter plate’s flanges and into the pivot rod. Position the
support arm perpendicular to the adapter plate then tighten securely but
not permanently. This will hold the speaker in position while mounting it
to the wall or ceiling.

Step 5.
Lift the speaker and support arm up to the mounting plate and insert the
support arm through end of the mounting plate with the cross slot
(Figure 3). Line up the support arm’s threaded hole with the cross slot.
Insert the 5/16” socket screw and a washer through the mounting plate’s
slot and into the threaded hole of the support arm (Figure 3). Tighten the
screw firmly but not permanently. Be sure the flat washer seats outside
the slot.

Step 6.
Loosen the socket screw on the wall plate (do not remove).
Rotate the speaker horizontally right or left until the speaker is
aimed in the desired direction. Permanently tighten the socket
screw at the mounting plate with a 3/16” hex wrench (Figure 4).

Step 7.
While supporting the speaker’s weight, loosen the 3 /4-16 hex
bolts at the sides of the speaker adapter plate (do not remove).
Lift the speaker up to the desired tilt angle and hold it in position
while re-tightening the 3/4” hex bolts. Be sure that the screws
have been tightened permanently before releasing the weight of
the speaker (Figure 5).

If the tilt angle needs to be adjusted,
