Sonance Flex Bracket Instruction Guide

Sonance Flex Bracket
Installation Instructions

Introduction

The Sonance Flex Bracket is installed during construction and serves as a guide for the drywall installer when cutting openings.
The Flex Bracket can be nailed, screwed or stapled to studs or joists in the desired location for the speaker. Once the drywall
is cut, the speaker is clamped to the wall or ceiling using its RotoLock

®

clamps (the Flex Bracket does not need to be removed).

This manual covers all Flex Brackets for Sonance Virtuoso

®

D- and DR-series and Sonance Symphony®T- and TR-series speakers.

Box Contents

Your Sonance Flex Bracket box should contain the following items:

• (10) Sonance Flex Bracket frames

• (20) Flex Bracket wings

• (40) Flex Bracket wing locks

NOTE: Wing locks for all rectangular and square Flex Brackets are

Installation

1. Hold the Flex Bracket frame with the “This Side Out” legends facing towards you.

2. Insert the wings into rectangular and square Flex Bracket frames at the corner entry points (see

Figure 1

); insert the wings

into round Flex Bracket frames at the single entry point marked with the arrow (see

Figure 2

).

• Once they are attached to the Flex Bracket frame, the Flex Bracket wings can be positioned anywhere around the frame
(see

Figure 3

).

Figure 3: Sample Flex Bracket Wing Positions

3. Once the wings are in the desired
positions on the frame, you can hold
them in position by placing wing
locks on either side of it. The locks
snap into place in the channel on
either side of the wing (see

Figure 4

).
This will prevent the Flex Bracket
frame from moving out of position
after the Flex Bracket wings are
fastened to the wall studs or ceiling
joists in the mounting location.

4. Position the Flex Bracket in the
desired location against the wall studs or ceiling joists, with the “This Side Out”
legends facing outward. The speaker will be slightly adjustable within the hole (about

1

/8” in all directions).

use the 4 centering marks on the

frame to line it up properly, then use a square or level to set the permanent location.

6. Attach the Flex Bracket wings to the studs or joists using screws, nails or staples that
are at least ½” long. Use at least 2 fasteners per wing.

7. Feed the speaker wire through one of the Flex Bracket’s two wire loops. This will
keep the wire readily accessible to speaker installation personnel after the drywall
is installed. (See

Figure 6

.)
