INSTALLATION
General
Maximum coverage for source-oriented installations is generally obtained with the speakers on both sides of the sound source and as far forward as possible. Each speaker is tilted slightly either downward (for wallor ceilingmounted units) or upward (for floor-standing units). The angle of tilt (assuming a single speaker to each side of the sound source) should be such that you can look into the throat of the horn from the last rows of the audience area covered by the speaker.
If it is desirable to elevate the 711, adequate support for heights up to about one meter (three feet) can usually be obtained using a sturdy table or bench. The surface must be capable of supporting the 30 kg (66 Ib) weight of the speaker. For greater elevations, it is important to note that the 711 is not designed for mounting by simple chains or cables attached to the cabinet top or sides. If the speaker is to be supported by chains or cables, encircle or cradle it.

WARNING
It is extremely important that both the mounting surface and the mounting hardware are adequate to support the weight of the speaker. Inadequate support may result in a hazardous operating condition. Whatever mounting means are employed, support should be provided for a speaker static load of 120 kg (264 Ib). Actual weight of the speaker is 30 kg (66 Ib).
If the speaker is elevated and tilted down, it is desirable to attach the grille permanently. Do this by driving screws or nails through the grille frame into the cabinet, or through the sides of the cabinet into the grille frame.
Coverage Angles
The 711 Speaker System features a unique horn with sliding vanes to set variable horizontal dispersion patterns. The 120°, 90° Right, 90° Left, or 60° angle choices provide unprecedented flexibility, making the 711 the one ideal speaker in a variety of circumstances that previously required separate kinds of units to ensure adequate coverage.
