Remove the wall-mount bracket by pressing up on the metal tab adjacent next to the connection base. Once the tab is pressed upward, the bracket will rotate ¼ turn and release from the loudspeaker.

The GS4 comes ready for surface mounting. Simply position the base where you would like to install the loudspeaker, making certain to adjust the loudspeaker angle fi rst by loosening the adjustment knob, rotating the loudspeaker to the desired angle, and then re-tightening the knob until it locks in place.

Next, align the wall-mount bracket to the desired location and mark the locations of the two screw holes.

The GS4 weighs approximately 4 lbs (1.8 kg). Any mounting screws or hardware used to secure the loudspeaker should be designed to bear a load with a minimum of 5x this weight (i.e. 20 lbs, or 9 kg) in order to assure a wide margin for safety in an outdoor environment.

Using Security Mounting Plates - As an option, you may further secure the GS4 loudspeakers by utilizing the included security plates. To do so:

1)Attach each plate to a mounting stake by inserting the stake through the plate and twisting the plate until it locks in place. 2) Dig a hole 5” (12.7 cm) wide by 8” (20.3 cm) deep. Confi rm the wire routing for the loudspeaker is correct. Place the mounting stake with attached security plate in the hole and pack fi rmly with dirt or for extra security, concrete.

Two silicone impregnated wire nuts have been provided inside the special wiring cavity in the wall mount bracket. You can remove them by inserting a fl at screwdriver under the cap and slowly prying it up on either side until it opens. All of your wiring connections can be made using the supplied wire nuts and the connections can then be hidden inside the wiring cavity. If the wiring is going to be exposed to the elements, make sure to use properly rated cable. In such an installation, we also recommend sealing the wire nuts with additional silicone.

Mount the loudspeaker bracket on the wall, making sure that the speaker wire is properly routed through the wire raceway on the rear of the bracket before you install it. Care should be taken to make sure that the wire is routed around the screw holes so that the speaker wire is not damaged when you attach it to the wall.

Adjust the loudspeaker angle by loosening its adjustment knob and

placing it into the desired position. While the loudspeaker itself can withstand

extreme temperatures, the loudspeaker should not be placed at an angle greater than 45° above a horizontal position in order to prevent the possibility of excessive amounts of water staying within the top housing and freezing in cold environments, which could damage the loudspeaker.
