Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals
who have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and regulations of suspending objects
overhead. Electro-Voice strongly recommends all loudspeakers be suspended taking into
account all current national, federal, state, and local laws and regulations. It is the
responsibility of the installer to ensure all loudspeakers are safely installed in accordance
with all such requirements. When loudspeakers are suspended, Electro-Voice strongly
recommends the system be inspected at least once per year or as laws and regulations
require. If any sign of weakness or damage is detected, remedial action should be taken
immediately. The user is responsible for making sure the wall, ceiling, or structure is capable
of supporting all objects suspended overhead. Any hardware used to suspend a loudspeaker
not associated with Electro-Voice is the responsibility of others.
Redundant safety point
As an added safety measure, it is suggested the user install an extra suspension point back to
the building structural supports. This redundant safety point should have as little slack as
possible (less than 1-inch is preferable).
Electrical or electronic devices that are no longer serviceable must be collected separately and
sent for environmentally compatible recycling (in accordance with the European Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive).
To dispose of old electrical or electronic devices, you should use the return and collection
systems put in place in the country concerned.

For safety, ensure the mounting surface supports more than the weight of the speaker. Use
only industry-accepted fasteners and mounting methods when mounting the wall bracket.
Consult an expert if you are unsure.
Caution!
It is the installer's responsibility to determine and use the proper mounting hardware for
the wall construction type.
Disregarding this caution could result in damage to the product and personal injuries may
occur.
Installing the wall bracket vertically
To install the wall bracket vertically, do the following:
1.Drill a hole into the wall for the wire.
The size of the hole is dependent on the size of the wire used.
2.Push the wire thru the hole.
3.Adjust the wall bracket until the bubble is level.
4.Install four mounting screws to secure the wall bracket to the wall.
5.Connect the wires to wall bracket audio connectors, as shown in the wiring section.
