U-Bracket

Installation Instructions

The UB-325-13 U-Bracket is a mounting bracket
that attaches a loudspeaker to a wall, deck,
ceiling, or balcony and provides a one axis aiming
feature.

Warning:

Mounting and/or rigging loudspeakers requires
experienced professionals.

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.

Step 1: Place the U-Bracket over the

speaker cabinet to be sure
you have the correct mount.
Sound isolation gaskets are
placed between the
loudspeaker cabinet and the
U-Bracket’s arms. Also,
compare the included assembly hardware with that of the loudspeaker. If threaded mounting points are
not provided by the manufacturer contact them for the correct mounting procedure.

Step 2: Select the mounting area where the

loudspeaker will be installed. Attach
the U-Bracket to the wall or ceiling
using the holes on the base of the U­Bracket. Use the appropriate hardware
for the application (if in doubt, consult
a local hardware specialist). Tighten
permanently.

Step 3: Place the speaker between the U-

Bracket’s arms. Insert the M10 Button
head bolt, flat washer and split lock
washer (must match the speaker’s
thread) through the hole in the arms
with the sound isolation gasket in
between the speaker and the bracket.
Thread the bolt into the loudspeaker.
Repeat on the other side of the
speaker (Figure 1). Do not fully
tighten yet.

Step 4: Rotate the loudspeaker into the

desired direction then tighten the side
bolts permanently (Figure 2).

Step 5: Truss Clamp Application:
For a single truss clamp application,

attach the truss clamp on the center
hole of the U-bracket’s base using a
½-13x1.5” long hex bolt, ½ fender
washer and a ½-13 nylock nut (M12
hex bolt, M12 fender washer and M12
nylock nut can also be used). Position
the desire direction of the loudspeaker
then tigthen nut (figure 3).

For dual truss clamp application,

attach the truss clamp on the two holes of
the u-brackets base close to the bend. Use
½-13x1.5” long hex bolt, flat washer and
nylock nut (M12 bolt, fender washer and
nyloc nut can also be used) (Figure 4).

Step 6: Recommendation: Safety Cable

Install a safety cable to the U-Bracket and
to the structurally load rated mounting
surface.
