MOUNTING
When mounting via a bracket or eyebolts the following must be considered.
The mounting of a permanently installed speaker may be dangerous unless
undertaken by a qualified professional with the required experience.
Walls and mounting surfaces must be capable of supporting the speaker and
bracketry in a safe and secure manner.
All fixings must be safely attached to the speaker cabinet and the mounting
surface. All fixings must be fitted in accordance with the manufacturers
instructions and specifications.
Suspending with Eyebolts
The XDS range of speakers provide a number of secured mounting points for
use with M10 eye bolts.
When suspending an XDS8, XDS10 or XDS12 loudspeaker, the two mounting
points towards the front of the cabinet should be used, with the 3rd point
used to angle the enclosure as needed.
All XDS eyebolt fittings are M10.
M10 Eyebolts with a mimimum of 20 mm usable thread must be used.
