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) and have a 6mm threaded insert.
(See illustration

• This mount will only fit and securely mount speakers

with 6mm pre-threaded inserts. If you are unsure about

the insert, please contact the speaker manufacturer .

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.

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.

CAUTION: DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. When the ball

shaft resists moderate rotational force and forms a solid
joint with the speaker, stop tightening.

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.

• 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” (63.5mm) depth.

Y our speaker must have a factory-installed 6mm 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 dir ectly.

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).

• 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

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.”
