and local building department requirements

 

Step 1: Selecting Speaker

Mounting Locations

Four WMQ™ Wall Speakers are ideal in rooms up to 1600 square feet with a ceiling height of 8–12 feet.

Before starting the system installation, speaker placement needs to be decided. Optimum sound pattern is achieved when the speakers are staggered on the four walls as shown in figure 1. Speakers should NOT be placed directly opposite of each other.

Ceiling height determines how high the speaker is set on the wall. Increased ceiling height allows the speakers to cover a larger area.

If the classroom is not rectangular, does not have suspend- ed ceilings, or has a ceiling that is not horizontal (flat), call LightSPEED Technical Support (800.732.8999) to determine optimum speaker placement.

Step 2: Mounting the Speakers

A.Identify a suitable location for the receiver/amplifier where it is easily accessible, close to a power outlet, and at least 6 feet away from any computers.

B.Remove the mounting bracket from the WMQ speaker by unscrewing the knobs on the side of the speaker.

C.Use the bracket as a template to mark the position for the two screws where the bracket will be fastened (see figure 2). Keeping the bracket as horizontal as possible, push a sharp object through the template into the wall. These mark where the wall mounting screws will

be placed.

D.Each speaker bracket comes with two mounting screws, two washers and two sheet rock mollies.

i.If the walls are wood, screw the mounting bracket

to the wall with two mounting screws and washers at the marked spacing. Then screws should be inserted into the wood so that the bracket is held snuggly to the wall.

ii.If the walls are sheet rock, drill pilot holes (3/16” to 1/4” diameter) in the sheet rock at the marked spacing. Screw the two sheet rock mollies into the pilot holes until they are flush with the surface.

The screws and washers should be inserted into the mollies so that the bracket is held snugly to the wall.

E.Repeat step B for all speaker locations. Do not attach the speakers to the brackets yet.
