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

Note to Contractor: Due to the wide variety

of wall structures, materials and methods, the
contractor should exercise good judgment in
selecting the proper mounting area and
hardware. Do not rely on drywall, acoustic tiles,
etc. to support the weight of any loudspeaker.

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. The structure should be capable of
supporting 5 to 10 times the actual weight of the
speaker. The use of a back up safety system, such
as a safety cable, is highly recommended.
Standard safety cables are available from stock.
