To use the 5.0 Speaker Mount Kit, your
speaker must meet the following criteria:
• This mount is intended for mini speakers that weigh
up to 5lbs (2.3kg):
• If your mini speaker has a 4mm insert, it should not
exceed 2.5lbs (1.1kg)
• If your mini speaker has a 5mm insert, it should
not exceed 5lbs (2.3kg) (See illustration)
Note: Use the supplied screws and anchors. Your 5.0
Mount is supplied with oversize surface mounting
screws and anchors. The generous size of these
fasteners provides an extra margin of safety for your
installation. Do not use substitutes.

The ball shaft-threads into the speaker. The clamp assembly-Consists of the clamp plate and jaw. It mounts to the
wall, ceiling or a shelf. The clamp surrounds the ball. The
mounting angle may be adjusted by simply loosening the
clamp assembly tension screw.

Step 1:Step 1:
Step 1: Attaching the Ball Shaft to the Speaker
Step 1:Step 1:
• Insert the ball shaft appropriate to
the mounting option you have
selected (refer to the mounting
options above).
• Rotate the ball shaft several turns
until it is fully threaded into the
female insert on the speaker.
When you “hit bottom”, back out
the ball shaft approximately one
quarter turn (see Fig. E).
• Using the 7/16” (11mm) open wrench, tighten
the jam nut.
Fig. E
CAUTION: DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. When the ball
shaft resists moderate rotational force and forms a solid
joint with the speaker, stop tightening.

Positioning the Clamp Assembly

2.12.1
Wall mounting orientation
Orient the clamp assembly
vertically—the OmniMount
logo should be facing toward
the ceiling, the tension screw
head faces toward the floor
(see fig. G or H)
Fig. H
CAUTION: It may be
necessary to check that the
surface preparation and the
fasteners will not interfere
with electrical wiring,
plumbing, etc., behind
your mounting surface
(wall, ceiling, floor).

Now, position the clamp
assembly on the wall, ceiling or
shelf at the mounting location
you have selected.
Using the clamp plate as a
template, accurately mark the
two hole locations with a pencil.
Remove the clamp plate before drilling holes.
STEP 3:
PREPARING THE MOUNTING SURFACE AND
ATTACHING THE CLAMP ASSEMBLY
Using the clamp plate as a template, mark the two holes with a pencil.
Remove the clamp plate before drilling into your mounting surface.
CAUTION: It may be necessary to check that the surface preparation
and the fasteners will not interfere with electrical wiring, plumbing,
etc., behind the mounting surface (wall, ceiling, or floor).
Your OmniMount Speaker Mount is designed to be
mounted on a variety of wall and ceiling constructions.
Please follow all safety precautions listed here before
installing the Clamp and Jaw Assembly.
CAUTION: Drilling holes into masonry or concrete material requires
the use of a carbide tipped 5/16” (8mm) diameter masonry drill and/or
hammer drill. Always wear eye protection.
Mounting Onto Solid Wood
• Insert a 5/16” (8mm) diameter drill bit (not provided). Set depth of
drill at a minimum 2 ” (63.5mm) protruding from the end of
your drill.
• Center the drill on the marked hole locations and carefully
drill the two holes to the minimum 2 ½” (63.5mm) depth.

Your speaker must have a factory-installed 4mm or
5mm-threaded insert. We have found that most of the
factory inserts installed for mounting are strong enough
to safely support the speaker. However, some inserts
located on the top, bottom, or sides of the speaker are
designed to be used in pairs for attaching a “U-shaped”
bracket to the speaker. When one of these two inserts
is used alone it may not have adequate pullout strength
to support the weight for the speaker in some cases. If
you have any questions regarding the use of the inserts
in your speaker, consult your dealer or contact the
speaker manufacturer directly.

You will need at least these tools for the installation
• 5/32” hex wrench (supplied)
• An electric drill
• Drill bits: ¼” (for drywall installation) or 5/16” (for
wood and masonry surfaces)
• 7/16”(11mm) open wrench or small crescent wrench
• Phillips screwdriver, medium size (or electric drill with
Phillips drive bit)
• Wire cutters
• Hammer

The clamp assembly should be oriented so that the
clamp plate and OmniMount logo face the same
direction as the front of the speaker you are mounting.

The jaw and the tension
screw will face in the
opposite direction (toward
the wall).(see fig I or J)
• Insert the two anchors fully until the flange is flush against the
mounting surface (Fig. K).

• Position the clamp assembly over the anchors. (Fig. L)

• Check that the clamp assembly is open enough to accept
the ball. Get the 5/32” (4 mm) hex wrench. Now lift the
speaker into position and “pop” the ball into the clamp
assembly. Set your chosen angle of adjustment.
• While supporting the speaker,
insert the long end of the hex key
and turn the hex tension screw
clock-wise to take up the slack in
the clamp assembly, but do not
fully tighten. (The ball should be
properly seated, and the speaker
should still moveeasily). (Fig. N)

• Orient and hold the speaker in its final fixed position.
CAUTION: The weight of the speaker must be fully
supported throughout the entire tightening process. Do
not allow the ball shaft to rest upon or push against the
clamp assembly. Two installers may be needed for this;
one to support the speaker while the other tightens the
clamp assembly.
• NOTE: To hold the speaker in position and prevent any
slippage, the clamp assembly must get a good “bite” into
the ball and form a SOLID joint. The clamp assembly
needs to be tightened enough to lock and hold the speaker
FIRMLY at the chosen angle. When that point is
reached, no further tightening is necessary.

• Pick up the vice grip pliers, regular
pliers, or small crescents wrench and
use one of these tools to assist in
tightening the tension screw. Tighten in
½ turn increments until the speaker is
firmly held in place.
• Insert the hex key into the tension screw
head and tighten (see Fig. O)
• If the speaker angle must be changed, do
not attempt to move the speaker without
first loosening the tension screw.
Reposition, then tighten the tension
screw further until the speaker is held
Fig. O
firmly in place.
Caution: Tightest is not always the best! Over
tightening fasteners can weaken the installation.
Make sure the connection is extremely solid and then
stop tightening.
• If rotational adjustment of the mounted speaker is
required, the jam nut must first be loosened, the
speaker rotated, and the jam nut tightened again. Use
the 7/16” (11mm) open wrench or a small adjustable
crescent wrench for this procedure.
Caution: If the speaker loses its position, do not
attempt to move the speaker without first loosening the
tension screw. Reposition, then tighten the tension
screw further until the speaker is held firmly in
place.

• Position the wire on the ball shaft. Wrap one of the tie wraps
around both the ball shaft and wire. Repeat this step for the
second tie wrap.
• Loop the open end of the tie
wrap into the slot in the other
end. Pull tie wrap closed.
Repeat this step for the second
tie wrap.
• Using a small pair of wire
cutters, snip the extra lengths of
the tie wrap off-as close as
possible to the wrap “buckle.”
