Attaching the Yoke to the Loudspeaker: Horizontal Mounting
The yoke bracket is designed to attach to the rigging points on the loudspeaker for either horizontal or vertical suspension.
1.Attach the yoke spacers using the included M5 screws in the locations shown in (Figure 1). Ensure that the side of the spacer with the text “REAR” shown is oriented toward the rear (amplifier) side of the enclosure.
2.Join the two halves of the yoke mount together with the provided hardware (Figure 2).
3.Attach the yoke to the spacers using the M8 Hex Head Bolts included with the bracket. Note the hardware order (Figure 3). The steel flat and lock washers are to be installed between the bolt and the outside bracket surface. The lock washer is the outermost washer, located directly under the head of each bolt.
4.Tighten the bolts snugly, just to the point where the yoke is held in place but able to rotate. Set desired tilt and tighten the two M8 bolts to secure the loudspeaker in place.

Attaching the Yoke to the Loudspeaker: Vertical Mounting
1.To attach the bracket to the loudspeaker enclosure for vertical mounting, locate the rubber inserts which protect the enclosure’s threads. Remove the rubber inserts.
2.Attach the yoke spacers using the included M5 screws in the locations shown in (Figure 4). Ensure that the side of the spacer with the text “REAR” shown is oriented toward the rear (amplifier) side of the enclosure.
3.Join the two halves of the yoke mount together with the provided hardware (Figure 5).
4.Attach the yoke to the spacers using the M8 Hex Head Bolts included with the bracket. Note the hardware order (Figure 6). The steel flat and lock washers are to be installed between the bolt and the outside bracket surface. The lock washer is the outermost washer, located directly under the head of each bolt.
5.Tighten the bolts snugly, just to the point where the yoke is held in place but able to rotate. Set desired tilt and tighten the two M8 bolts to secure the loudspeaker in place.

Installation Options
The yoke bracket can be used to support the K8 in several ways.
Yoke above or below loudspeaker enclosure — If using the yoke bracket positioned above or below the enclosure, attach to the enclosure using the outermost set of mounting holes in the bracket’s arms.
Do nothing — Keep in mind, if you do not know what you are doing, don’t mount this loudspeaker to anything, including the yoke bracket. Consult professional assistance if unsure about any loudspeaker mounting or suspension topic or procedure.
