Prior to installation, hold the speaker in the chosen location to make sure it safely clears obstacles such as ceiling, adjacent walls, corners, beams, lighting fixtures and door/window frames.

Using the keyhole slots in the bracket as a template, mark the installation location of the two keyhole slots with a pencil. You can do this by removing the bracket knobs on the top and bottom of the speaker and removing the bracket, or by leaving the bracket connected to the speaker [figure 13]. Orient the bracket so that the small ends of the keyhole slots are facing “up” according to the direction of installation. Reattach the bracket to the speakers, if you have removed it, by reinserting it into the bracket gap and then tightening the bracket knobs.

If you are certain that there is a stud behind the wall surface, drive #10 screws (not included) through the wall and into the stud [figure 14a].

If there is no stud behind the wall at the chosen location, install #10 (M4.5) wall anchors (not supplied) into the wall by fol- lowing the wall-anchor-manufacturer's instructions [figure 14b].

For masonry walls, use a masonry drill

bit and #10 masonry anchor and screw (not included).

Drive screws into stud or wall anchors, leaving screw heads protruding 1/16" (1.6mm).

If speaker wire is being fed from a hole in the wall behind the bracket, pull this speaker wire through the hole in the brack- et before mounting the bracket [figure 15].

Line up the bracket, attached to the speak- er, so that the screw heads pass through the large center hole of the bracket’s key- hole slots.

Let the speaker and bracket slide straight down, allowing the screw head to slip behind the smaller end of the keyhole slot [figure 16].

Tug gently on the speaker to make certain that the screws and bracket are properly aligned and that the wall anchors are secure.

If the bracket is not held snug against

the wall by the screw heads, remove the speaker from the wall, drive the screws in a little further and then remount the speaker.

Once the speaker is mounted, the bracket knobs can be loosened to “aim” the speak- er, and then hand-tightened to keep the speaker angled correctly [figure 17].

Follow the speaker pair hookup directions on the previous page.

SAFETY FIRST

When installing Atrium speakers be aware of the weight of your particular model (Atrium 45P=approx [8lbs/3.63kg powered] [6lbs/2.72kg passive]) and the weight bearing tolerance of the material to which you are mounting the speaker. If you are not sure of a safe way of mounting your speakers please consult a professional installer, your autho- rized Polk Audio dealer, or a building contrac- tor. Do not compromise safety.
