Install the Bracket

WARNING: The installer is responsible for providing a properly engineered solution for suspending or mounting a loudspeaker. The installer is responsible for obtaining rigging designs and drawings from a professional engineer, obtaining required permits, and receiving inspections and final approvals from the authority having jurisdiction of the installation site. Refer to the illustration below when choosing one of the mounting options.

For surface mount For third-party pole mount For surface mount

WARNING:

Loudspeakers cannot be vertically mounted on a wall as shown in the following diagram.

For threaded rod or truss clamp • Suspend the bracket from an overhead structure with 1/2" threaded rod or pipe inserted into the center hole.

• Attach the bracket directly to an overhead structure using the surface mount holes.

• Attach the bracket horizontally to a wall (Rotated Horn is optional). Loudspeakers must weigh less than 40.0 lb (18.1 kg) for horizontal mounting on a wall. • Attach third-party pole mounts to the inner holes of the bracket.

WARNING: Loudspeakers weighing more than 40 pounds (18.1kg) cannot be mounted on a wall with a yoke bracket alone.

CAUTION: Always use approved mounting methods and rated hardware that satisfy local building and installation codes.

NOTE: Due to the wide variety of wall construction techniques, some additional third-party hardware and back blocking may be required to spread the load across multiple wall studs. It is the responsibility of the installer to provide a properly engineered solution. NOTE: The installer must use appropriate anchors and supporting structures when securing the bracket to the mounting location.

Attach the Speaker to the Bracket

1. Use an appropriate hex key to remove the thread covers located in the center of the top and bottom of the loudspeaker.

CAUTION: Do not remove any of the Phillips screws from the speaker enclosure.

2. Place the loudspeaker in the bracket, and align the loudspeaker’s exposed threads with the rubberized cork washers on the bracket.

NOTE: Brackets may have two sets of rubberized cork washers that protect the loudspeaker’s finish and prevent unintended rotation. Use the set of washers furthest from the base of the bracket for the greatest range of rotation for loudspeaker aiming. Use the set of washers closest to the base of the bracket for the lowest visual profile.

3. As shown in the following diagram, thread the included socket head cap screw through the lock washer and flat washer, from the outside of the bracket, through the rubberized cork washer, and into the exposed screw thread on the loudspeaker.

4. Tighten the socket head cap screw to secure the loudspeaker in the bracket.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the other side of the loudspeaker.

NOTE: Some speaker installations may require installation of a VECTOR EB Eyebolt in another screw thread insert on the loudspeaker. The Eyebolt provides a pick point for a safety tether that can can be attached to the building structure.
