QuickSAM™ (Strong-Arm-Mount™) System

Zx1i™s QuickSAM™ system (Strong-Arm-Mount™) excels at meeting the four important requirements for mounting speaker systems: simple, quick, versatile, and reliable. Three easy steps and you are done: Securely attach the surface bracket to the wall or ceiling, click the Zx1i™ enclosure onto the bracket, aim the enclosure and tighten both bolts.

WARNING: Bolt “B” in Figure 2 must be tightened. Failure to tighten Bolt “B” may allow the speaker to disengage from the QuickSAMTM Bracket, possibly resulting in serious injury.
