DXB
NEW CONSTRUCTION BRACKET
for DX Pro Designer Series Speaker
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The DXB New Construction Bracket is a mounting frame for the DX Pro in-wall speaker system. The
bracket attaches to exposed studs or beams and provides a guide for the wall board installer. It can be
used for installation in ceilings and walls. This package contains two complete bracket assemblies:
DXB Bracket Frame (A) - rear view
Bracket Wing (B)
New Construction Installation (Wall or Ceiling Mount):
1. Determine mounting orientation (horizontal or vertical)
2. Attach the Bracket Wings (B) to the Bracket Frame (A) by firmly inserting Locking Tab (D) of each wing
into the Mounting Channel (F) located on the rear of the Bracket Frame. The bracket and wing will snap
tightly together. However, if additional strength is required, a #8 x 3/8" screw (not supplied) may be
used. After snapping the bracket and wing together, insert the screw through the Locking Screw Hole (E)
3. Attach the DXB bracket assemblies to studs or beams with nails or drywall screws.
4. Using a wire tie or electrical tape secure the speaker wire to the bracket at the Cable Tie Points (G) so that
it is not lost behind the ceiling or wall surface.
