WALL-MOUNTING

Important Safety Notes

Proper selection of mount- ing hardware and installation of the wall brackets are the responsibility of the customer.

This product is not intended for ceiling mounting.

Two Number 8 roundhead or panhead screws should be used for each loudspeaker. The screwhead should be between 5/16" (8mm) and 1/4" (6.3mm) in diameter, and the screw should be at least 2" (50mm) in length.

When installing screws in any wall, it is always preferable to screw them into a wall stud. If none is available, it is impor- tant to always use properly selected wall anchors.

Attach two of the four self- adhesive rubber pads that came with the loudspeaker to the back of the enclosure in the two bottom corners so that the cabinet is spaced evenly from the wall. Select a suitable mounting location on a wall. (The ceiling is not a suitable mounting location.)

Drill two pilot holes, appropri- ately sized for the specific self-tapping screw or wall anchor that you will be using. A template is included with your loudspeaker that indi- cates the proper locations for the pilot holes. In the event that the template is missing, refer to this chart:

See Figure 1. The holes should be 2-1/4" (57mm) below where you want the top of the enclosure to be positioned. Use a carpenter’s level to ensure that the holes are even and that the speaker will mount on the level.

Install the two screws into either a wooden wall stud or anchor, and tighten them until the back of each screwhead is about 1/8" (3mm) from the wall. See Figure 2.

Models L810 and L820 may also be corner-mounted using the keyholes located on the bezeled corners. For corner mounting, fold the mounting template in half, place the fold in the corner at the desired height, and use the outer holes. If the template is missing, for corner mounting drill each pilot hole 7-3/4" (197mm) from the corner for model L810, or 9-11/16" (246mm) from the corner for model L820. However, if your corner is not precisely 90 degrees, these measure- ments may not work. In that case, it is recommended that you contact a professional custom installer, who can determine the correct loca-

tions for the pilot holes. Install the loudspeaker by slowly moving the cabinet toward the screws so that the screw- heads clear the larger circu- lar portion of the two key- holes. Once both screwheads have entered the keyholes, the loudspeaker should gently be lowered onto the screw shafts. Check that the loud- speaker is firmly locked onto the screws by gently pulling the speaker down and forward.
