	CAUTION: Be careful not to drill or screw into a speaker
	where you could possibly damage internal components.
	If there’s a question about this, check with your dealer or
	the manufacturer, or you may choose to carefully remove

	yourself.

STEP 3:

ATTACHING CLAMP ASSEMBLY

•Insert the two anchors fully until the flange is flush against the

mounting surface (Fig. J & K).

•Position the clamp assembly over

the anchors.

•Insert and tighten the #12 coarse thread screws (provided). (Fig L). Use a Phillips screwdriver or a Phillips bit in a battery powered

drive tool (Fig. M).

STEP 4:

Caution: Tightest is not always the best! Over tightening fasteners can weaken the installation. Make sure the

connection is extremely solid and then stop tightening.

•If the speaker angle must be changed, do not attempt to move the speaker without first loosening the tension screw. Reposi- tion, then tighten the tension screw further until the speaker is held firmly in place.

•If rotational adjustment of the mounted speaker is required, the jam nut must first be loosened, the speaker rotated, and the jam nut tightened again. Use the 7/16” (11mm) open wrench or a small adjustable crescent wrench for this procedure.

Caution: If the speaker loses its position, do not attempt to move the speaker without first loosening the tension screw.

Reposition, then tighten the tension screw further until

•Remove the mounting plate from the speaker where you had been using

it as a template. Insert the 3/32” drill Fig. F bit (provided) so that ½” sticks out

of the end of your drill.

•Position the drill bit ¼” down from

the far end of the slot but centered in the middle of the slot.

•Drill the pilot hole straight down into speaker. Repeat the procedure for the second slot location. (Fig. F).

•Place mounting plate onto the speaker,

insert the #14 screws and tighten until the Fig. G screws are firmly seated against the top

of the mounting plate.

Do not overtighten! (Fig. G).

•Using the 7/16 open wrench or small crescent wrench, tighten the jam nut securely against the top of the mounting plate (Fig. H).

STEP 2:

POSITIONING CLAMP ASSEMBLY

Wall Mounting

Position the clamp plate vertically the OmniMount Logo should be facing toward the ceiling, the tension screw head faces towards the floor (Fig. I).

The clamp assembly should be positioned so
that the clamp plate (with the OmniMount
logo) faces in the same direction as the front
of the speaker you are mounting. The jaw
and the tension screw will face in the
opposite direction (towards the wall) (fig O).
Position the clamp assembly onto the wall,
ceiling or floor at the mounting location you	Fig. I-2
have selected.

STEP 3:

ATTACHING CLAMP ASSEMBLY

Using the clamp plate as a template, mark the two holes with a pencil. Remove the clamp plate before drilling into your mounting surface.

CAUTION: It may be necessary to check that the surface prepara- tion and the fasteners will not interfere with electrical wiring, plumbing, etc., behind the mounting surface (wall, ceiling, or floor).

Your OmniMount Speaker Mount is designed to be mounted on a variety of wall and ceiling constructions. Please follow all safety precautions listed here before installing the Clamp and Jaw Assembly.

CAUTION: Drilling holes into masonry or concrete material requires the use of a carbide tipped 5/16” (8mm) diameter masonry drill and/or hammer drill. Always wear eye protection.

Mounting Onto Solid Wood or Masonry

•Insert a 5/16” (8mm) diameter drill bit (not provided). Set depth of drill at a minimum 2 1/2” (63.5mm) protruding from the end of your drill.

•Center the drill on the marked hole locations and carefully drill the two holes to the minimum 2 ½” (63.5mm) depth.

•Check that the clamp assembly is open enough to accept the ball. Get the 5/32” (4 mm) hex wrench. Now lift the speaker into position and “pop” the ball into the clamp assembly. Set your chosen angle of adjustment.

•While supporting the speaker, insert the long end of the hex key and turn the hex tension screw clock-wise to take up the slack in the clamp assembly, but do not fully tighten. (The ball should be

properly seated, and the speaker should	Fig. N
still move easily). (Fig. N).

ADJUSTING THE POSITION OF THE SPEAKER AND TIGHTENING

THE CLAMP ASSEMBLY

•Orient and hold the speaker in its final fixed position.

CAUTION: The weight of the speaker must be fully supported throughout the entire tightening process. Do not allow the ball shaft to rest upon or push against the clamp assembly. Two installers may be needed for this; one to support the speaker while the other tightens the clamp assembly.

•Insert the hex key into the tension screw head

and tighten (Fig. O)

• Pick up the vice grip pliers, regular pliers,

or small crescents wrench and use one of these	Fig. O
tools to assist in tightening the tension screw.
Tighten in ½ turn increments until the speaker is
firmly held in place.
• NOTE: To hold the speaker in position and
prevent any slippage, the clamp assembly must
get a good “bite” into the ball and form a
SOLID joint. The clamp assembly needs to be
tightened enough to lock and hold the speaker
FIRMLY at the chosen angle. When that point
is reached, no further tightening is necessary.

the speaker is held firmly in place.
