designed and intended to be mounted to diering building
surfaces using a variety of rigging hardware, means and
methods. Installation of loudspeakers should only be performed
by trained and qualied personnel. All electrical connections
must conform to applicable city, county, state, and national
(NEC) electrical codes.
IMPORTANT: Refer to the sections on installation and
connections in the EX-S Installation and Operation Guide for
additional information on rigging and electrical safety.
IMPORTANT: When installing loudspeakers outdoors, use a
support system with enough wind-load strength to comply with
applicable codes and standards.

IMPORTANT: Please review the safety guide
accompanying this product and the installation instructions
prior to to installing this loudspeaker.
CAUTION: Installation of Biamp loudspeakers should only
be performed by trained and qualied personnel. It is
strongly recommended that a licensed and cer tied
professional structural engineer approve the mounting.
Severe injury and/or loss of life may occur if this product is
improperly installed.
DANGER: It is advised that a safety cable be secured to a
suitable load-bearing point separate from the primary
loudspeaker mounting point, with as little slack as possible
so as not to develop undue kinetic force if the primary
mount were to fail.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
1) This device is not intended for water immersion in
applications requiring UL1480A Certication.
2) This device is not intended for direct exposure to
sunlight in applications requiring UL1480A Certication.

INSTALLATION
The loudspeaker can be mounted to a variety of surfaces, but must be mounted to
structural load bearing surfaces or substrates (not electrical gang boxes). There
are two mounting options provided for the Desono EX family of loudspeakers: a
ClickMount pan-tilt bracket and an indexing U-Bracket with included waterproof
ClickPlug wiring insert. Wiring can be run to the mounting locations for each of the
mounting options. When installing EX models outdoors, do not aim them upwards.
Doing so will void the warranty and reduce the life of the loudspeaker.
Since the loudspeakers are sold with a mounting option, this installation guide will
describe the method of changing one mounting method to the other. Please review
the EX Surface Mount Loudspeaker Installation guide for complete information
about installation, wiring, and aiming.

Attach End Caps for Conversion to ClickMount Pan-tilt Bracket
Remove the U-Bracket, ClickPlug and end knobs from the loudspeaker if they
were previously installed or attached.
End Cap Cover Attachment
1. Slide cover on and seat over the threaded insert (Figure 1).
2. Screw on the cover retention nut with a 6mm hex wrench.
3. Cover the nut with the small cap - insert the rear tabs rst, then push down
the front to fully seat.
Mounting Considerations:
The loudspeaker must be tilted
away from the ClickMount plate when
attaching it to the bracket. Adequate
space must be allowed around the
ClickMount bracket to accommodate
this, so locating the bracket in or close
to a corner is not advised. Refer to the
documentation accompanying the
accessory for spacing for both vertical
and horizontal orientations.

To remove loudspeaker from the bracket
The loudspeaker can be removed from the ClickMount pan-tilt bracket as follows:
1. Insert a 5mm hex wrench into the hole within the slot in the middle of the
label on the rear panel (Figure 3a).
2. Pull down (or toward the base) and the latch will release and remain in
the "unlocked" position until the speaker is removed from the bracket. The

3. Rotate the bottom of the speaker away from the ClickMount Bracket. See
Figure 3b.
WARNING: When you release
the clickmount latch - the
loudspeaker will fall o the
ClickMount bracket! Fully support the
cabinet while releasing the latch. This is
especially important with horizontallymounted EX loudspeakers! The safety
cable should be in place to take the
strain but the loudspeaker will be
dangling.

Installation - U-Bracket
The U-Bracket can be connected to a center suspension post or against the wall,
ceiling or other flat surface. It can also be mounted to a variety of third party stand
and pole adapters. Refer to the EX-S Installation guide for full instructions.
1. Mount U-Bracket to wall prior to loudspeaker installation. If mounting in
a horizontal orientation on a wall, the slots should face up - see image at
right.
2. Sucient cable should be pulled through the bracket holes to create a drip
loop (damp/wet applications) with enough extra to connect to the ClickPlug.
Cable

Structure Mounting Points
(Hardware not provided)
Mounting Considerations:
Leave appropriate spacing on
either side of the U-Bracket to
be able to access the knobs with
hands and tools. Refer to the manual
for assembly and spacing for both
horizontal and vertical orientations.
3. Wire ClickPlug as shown (Figure 5) and in the EX-S Install Guide leaving
enough for the likely mounting angle and a drip loop for damp/wet
applications.
4. Adjust the tap switch to the desired setting.
Cable / Wire Size
ClickPlug Cable gland nut will accept
a 4-8mm (0.15-.3 in) diameter cable
or 2 pairs 1.5mm² (16 ga) or 1 pair
2.5mm² (14 ga). For outside or
moisture-rich environments - round
SJOW cable or equivalent is advised
to provide a weather-resistant seal in
the tightened gland nut. Forming the
cable into a drip loop will also prevent
any moisture migrating into the gland
nut.
Tools Needed
• 5.5mm (or 7/32") Hex wrench

Installation - U-Bracket (continued)
Attach the Loudspeaker to the U-Bracket
Refer to the EX-S Install guide (manual) by clicking on this link: bia.mp/EX-S_pubs.
5. Mount the loudspeaker to the U-bracket per the instructions since the
loudspeaker must be mounted in a specic way to correctly engage and use
the indexing aiming feature. The loudspeaker will rotate 200° on the bracket in
10° increments.
6. Secure the loudspeaker with a safety cable attached to the loop on the rear.
7. Aim the loudspeaker, then fully tighten the end knobs with the hex wrench. Do
not overtighten.
8. Insert the wired ClickPlug into the opening with the plug top (or side) into the
indent under the safety cable loop rst, then "click" it into place by pushing it
against the latch (Figure 6).
IMPORTANT: The cabinet is nished
with a light coat of paint. Take care to
avoid scratching or marring the nish
when sliding the loudspeaker onto the
U-Bracket.

Figure 6. Install the ClickPlug
9. The ClickPlug can be removed by inserting a 5mm hex wrench in the hole
in the slot (middle of long rear label), and pulling toward the base of the
loudspeaker to release the latch.
10. The ClickPlug must be pulled away from the latch side rst. Do NOT use a
tool to remove it as you will mar and/or deform the plastic.
CLICK
CAUTION: The ClickPlug t is
tight and is dicult to remove,
especially if it is oriented
toward the side of the unit. Avoid
attaching the ClickPlug until the
speaker is fully installed. If the unit is
installed outdoors or in a damp location
make sure a cable drip loop is utilized
to prevent any moisture from migrating
into the gland nut.
