MOUNTING

The Atrium’s bracket allows it to be mounted either horizontally or vertically and aimed to deliver the best possible sound in a variety of situations. Follow the steps below to safely secure the brackets and speakers.

Installation of Atrium Series Loudspeakers requires basic skills in using tools such as a drill and screwdriver. If you are in doubt that you possess the necessary skills or tools, consult your Polk Audio dealer, or a professional installer.

1)Make sure the material on which you plan to mount the speakers (plaster, drywall, paneling, stone, etc.) can support the weight of the speakers (Atrium50=approx 5lbs/2.3kg ea,).

2)Make sure the locations you select do not conceal electrical wiring or plumbing.

3)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.

4)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 9]. 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.

5)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 10a].

6)If there is no stud behind the wall at the chosen location, install #10 wall anchors (not supplied) into the wall by following the wall-anchor-manufacturer’s instruc- tions. Always use two wall anchors and two screws per speaker [figure 10b].

7)Drive screws into stud or wall anchors, leaving screw heads protruding 1/16" (1/6mm).
