VB-TILT
VERIS 2 Series Tilting Bracket
Tilting bracket for Community’s VERIS 2 installation series loudspeakers
The VB-TILT Tilting bracket is specifically designed for use with the Community VERIS 2 Series
of insta llation l oudspeak ers. It i s a two-part rotat ional d evice that fastens t o a yoke br acket or
to other hardware, enabling precise angling of one VERIS 2 loudspeaker enclosure in relation to
another. It can be used with all full-range VERIS 2 loudspeakers (models V2-6, V2-8, V2-26,
V2-28, V2-12, V2-15, V2-32 and V2-35).
The VB-TILT is intended to be a versatile building block allow ing the installer to develop and
configure c ustom mounti ng solut ions to su it the need s of var ied app lications. I t can be u sed to
hang and aim single cabinets from an overhe ad suspension point or to hang smaller d ownfill
cabinets underneat h main loudspeakers or loudspeaker cluste rs.
It is strongly recommended that the VB-TILT bracket be used in conjunction with a VERIS 2
horizontal mounting yoke or CMKIT ceiling mount kit as listed in Table 1. All VERIS 2 yokes are designed to accept the
VB-TILT bracket and provide a wide range of aiming and tilting options. The VB-TILT bracket attaches directly to the
yoke, permitting one loudspeaker enclosure to be angled in relation to another in two axes.
It is also possible to mount the VB-TILT bracket directly to an enclosure rigging p oint on large VERIS 2 models V2-12,
V2-15, V2-32 and V2-35. However, caution must be taken not to place undue torque on the fitting or to exceed the
single point working load limit. Each enclosure rigging point is rated at 100 lbs working load limit (WLL) with a 10:1
safety ratio.
The VB-TILT bracket is available in b lack or white finishes to match the color of the enclosure. Bracket parts are made
of black or white powder coated steel. The hardware used for t he attachment must be load-rated for the intended
purpose. Also ensure that the structure you are attaching to is capable of supporting the loudspeaker and bracket
assembly. This must include any torque load that may be applied to the structure as a result of the loudspeaker
position and aiming angle.
The VB-TI LT p r ovides a hig h degree of safety for s up por ting the loud spe ak er enclosure w hen used correctly. M o unti n g
methods ot her tha n those s hown in t his guide shou ld be carefully c ons idered s o that undu e stra in and po ssib le failure
of the mounting points does not occur.

Assembly Instructions – Using the VB-TILT with VERIS 2 Yokes
1. The VB-T ILT com es assembled from the Community Factory with the hardware finger-tight; there is no need to
assemble most individual parts. The nuts and bolts must be tightened to their final torque settings in the specific
order outlined in steps 2 and 3 below to avoid improper installation, injury, or even death.
2. Attach the Rotational Bracket to the desired VERIS 2 Yoke using the provided M10 nuts, bolts and washers. The
Yoke should be placed between the bottom of the Rotational Bracket and the lower M10 flat washers. Once the
Rotational Bracket is in the final desired position on the Yoke, tighten the M10 hardware to secure the bracket
assembly to the Yoke.
3. After determining that the Rotational Bracket is in the correct position for the desired loudspeaker aiming (see
instructions and aiming limitations below), tighten the 8mm bolts that join the Suspension Bracket to the
Rotational Bracket.
VB-TILT Application and Aiming Instructions
NOTE: The recommended application of the VB-TILT bracket requires that the loudspeaker’s center of
gravity (COG) be located directly under and in alignment with the center suspension point of the
Suspension Bracket (see Figure 3 below). This method of mounting is intended to minimize any
torque load placed on the structural attachment point(s). The following instructions and angle
adjustment ran ges are provided taking into account this COG r estriction.
Figure 3: Recommended COG Alignment
Figure 4: VB-TILT Yoke Attachment Points
NOTE: Each VERIS 2 Yoke has multiple attachment points for the VB-TILT Bracket including:
a.) Two (2) holes at each end of the yoke
b.) Slots along the rear of the yoke that allow for continuous adjustment
c.) Holes near the center of the yoke that are directly over the loudspeaker COG.

NOTE: The following specified angles are ach ieved using the yoke mounting hole closest to the end of the
yoke. The yoke must also be oriented with the short 20 degree bend on the rear of the yoke
towards the top of the enclosur e.

Safety Cable
It is strongly recommended that a safety cable be attached to the loudspeaker using one of the
remaining loudsp eaker enclosure rigging points. A 10 mm Shoulder Eyebolt is included in the kit for
this pur pose.
CAUTION: Installation of loudspeakers should only be performed by trained and qualified personnel.
It is strongly recommended that a licensed and certified professional structural engineer approve the
mounting design.
