Installation Information

Thank you for selecting Bose® ShowMatch DeltaQ array loudspeakers. This document is intended to
provide professional installers with basic installation and safety guidelines for using the ground stack
bracket accessory with ShowMatch loudspeakers. Please read this document before attempting
installation.

Use the ShowMatch Ground Stack Bracket (SMGSB) to build ground stack arrays that contain ShowMatch DeltaQ full-range
loudspeaker modules (SM5, SM10, and SM20), subwoofer modules (SMS118), or a combination of both.

The ground stack can include up to 8 full-range modules. When using subwoofer modules, one subwoofer module
replaces two full-range modules. For example, the ground stack can include a maximum of 1 subwoofer and 6 full­range modules, or 2 subwoofers and 4 full-range modules, etc.

If the ground stack contains one or more subwoofer modules, the subwoofers must be placed on the bottom of the
stack. You can place the bottom subwoofer module directly on the ground, or attach the subwoofer module to a
ShowMatch Array Frame (SMAF) and place the frame on the ground. If you use an array frame as the stack base, it is
recommended to attach the included leveling feet to the bottom of the frame.

If the ground stack contains one or more subwoofers and one or more full-range modules, you must use the
ground stack bracket to attach the full-range modules. You can attach the ground stack bracket directly to the top
subwoofer, or attach a ShowMatch Array Frame (SMAF) to the top subwoofer, and then attach the bracket to the
frame.

If the ground stack contains full-range modules only, use the ShowMatch Array Frame (SMAF) as the base and attach
the ground stack bracket to the frame.

CAUTION: Always evaluate the safety and stability of the array to ensure it is within acceptable limits
before building. For support with evaluating array safety, contact your local Bose Sales Engineer.

Adjust Ground Stack Bracket Angle

Adjust the ground stack bracket before installation of the first full-range
module to control the pitch angle of the array. The range of pitch angles
depends on the first full-range module in the stack.

To adjust the ground stack bracket angle, follow these instructions:

1. Remove the quick pin from the ground stack bracket.

2. Position the top of the adjustable link directly under the line that
corresponds to the desired position. The indicator arrow on the
adjustable link points to the position number. See Fig. 1. Refer to the
table in Fig. 2 for the corresponding pitch angle for each full-range
module.

3. Replace the quick pin to lock the adjustable link in place.

Note: A negative angle measurement indicates that the module is aimed
down. A positive angle measurement indicates that the module is aimed
up. See Fig. 3.

Position SM5 SM10 SM20
1 -22.5° -20° -15°
2 -20° -17.5° -12.5°
3 -17.5° -15° -10°
4 -15° -12.5° -7.5°
5 -12.5° -10° -5°
6 -10° -7.5° -2.5°
7 -7.5° -5° 0°

Attach Ground Stack Bracket to ShowMatch SMS118

To attach the ground stack bracket directly to the ShowMatch SMS118
subwoofer, follow these instructions:

1. Remove the 4 screws that attach the frame bracket to the base of
the ground stack bracket. See Fig. 4.

2. Separate the ground stack bracket from the frame bracket. The base
of the ground stack bracket should now be flat.

3. Remove the 4 screws connecting the pole mount to the top of the
subwoofer. Do not remove the actual pole mount. See Fig. 5.

4. Attach the ground stack bracket to the subwoofer using the screws
removed from the pole mount.

follow these instructions:

1. Attach the leveling feet to the bottom of the frame. See Fig. 6. Fully
tighten each screw to ensure the feet are level.

2. Align the ground stack bracket with the holes along the center rail as
indicated. The front ground stack hole should be placed at Location
D.

3. Attach the ground stack using the bolts and nuts from the array
frame.

4. Use the included safety pins to ensure security of the bolts.

5. Connect the front two rigging locations of the first (bottom) full­range module to the two front rigging locations on the frame. Then
connect the back of the module to the ground stack bracket.
