Mounting AW Series Speakers
The AW speakers can be mounted vertically or horizontally but remember to always point the speaker in such a way as to allow water to roll off the driver cone and/or Low Bass Radiator.
Installation of AW 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 Definitive Technology dealer, general contractor or a professional installer.
To mount the speakers, remove the bracket, mount the bracket to the surface, and then
Detailed Mounting Directions
1.Make sure the mounting hardware and surface you choose are both capable of holding the weight of the speaker (see specifications on page 11) combined with the force generated by strong wind and/or snow accumulations common to your area.
2.Make sure the locations you select do not conceal electrical wiring or plumbing behind the surface.
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.Remove the bracket and locking knobs by turning them
5.Using the slots in the bracket as a template, mark the screw locations with a pencil.
6. If you are certain that there is a stud |
| F |
behind the wall surface, drive #10 screws |
|
|
(not included) through the |
|
|
wall and into the stud [figure F]. |
|
|
7. If there is no stud behind the wall |
|
|
at the chosen location, install wall anchors |
|
|
(not supplied) into the wall |
|
|
by following the wall anchor |
|
|
manufacturer’s instructions. Always |
|
|
use two wall anchors and two screws per |
|
|
speaker [figure F]. We do
not provide mounting screws or other hardware because we do not know what kind of material you will be attaching the speaker to. For wood surfaces and studs, use wood screws; for sheetrock or gypsum, you should use wall anchors; for masonry, use masonry anchors.
