Niles Audio OS5.3SI manual Mounting Methods

You can control the loudspeakers bass output by placement. This is called the boundary effect. You will get more bass response by mounting the OS loudspeaker directly to a wall or other flat surface (any boundary close to the loudspeaker will reinforce the bass frequencies). You can increase the bass output even more by mounting the OS loudspeaker in a corner or under an eave (See Figure 5) This type of placement gives the loudspeaker two boundaries, both reinforcing the bass sounds. Of course, if you wish to hear less bass, try moving the loudspeaker away from the boundary (See Figure 6).

Mounting Methods

The OS loudspeaker should be mounted horizontally. The bracket knobs will keep the loudspeaker angled correctly in any position once they are tightened. You can choose from three mounting methods to attach the OS loudspeaker to the wall, ceiling, or other mounting surface.

1.If the loudspeaker is never going to be exposed to sudden accidental impacts, wind, waves or earthquakes you can simply hang it on a nail using the nail hole(s) on the bracket (See Figure 7).

2.The safest and most secure way to mount the loudspeaker is by screwing it to the mounting surface using your own hardware (suitable for the surface you are mounting to) and the bracket supplied with the loudspeaker (See Figure 7).
