Mounting

Figure 7 The OS-10can be mounted three ways.

2.The safest and most secure way to mount the speaker is by screwing it to the mounting surface using your own hardware (suitable for the surface you are mounting to) and the bracket supplied with the speaker (See Figure 7).

3.There are threaded brass inserts on the back of the OS-10for attaching an OmniMount or a custom bracket (See Figure 7). This allows you to position the speaker at unusual angles or distances from the mounting surface.

Safety First!

Be careful to use hardware that is designed for the surface you are mounting to. The OS-10with the bracket weighs 6 1/2 pounds. If you are not sure of a safe way to mount the speakers, consult a professional installer or a building contractor.

You will maximize the useful life of the speaker, by placing the speaker so that it receives less exposure to the elements. Look for the best overall compromise between sound quality, convenience, and exposure. Do not compromise safety.
