5.0 Speaker Mount

User’s Guide and Installation Manual

Before You Start

Read This Section Carefully

To use the 5.0 Speaker Mount Kit, your speaker must meet the following criteria:

•	This mount is intended for mini speakers that weigh
	up to 5lbs (2.3kg) and have a 6mm threaded insert.
•	(See illustration

KIT COMPONENTS & HOW THEY WORK TOGETHER:

The ball shaft-threads into the speaker. The clamp assem- bly-Consists of the clamp plate and jaw. It mounts to the wall, ceiling or a shelf. The clamp surrounds the ball. The mounting angle may be adjusted by simply loosening the clamp assembly tension screw.

Step 1: Attaching the Ball Shaft to the Speaker

•Insert the ball shaft appropriate to

the mounting option you have	Fig. E
selected (refer to the mounting
options above).

•Rotate the ball shaft several turns until it is fully threaded into the female insert on the speaker. When you “hit bottom”, back out the ball shaft approximately one quarter turn (see Fig. E).

•Using the 7/16” (11mm) open wrench, tighten the jam nut.

CAUTION: DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. When the ball shaft resists moderate rotational force and forms a solid joint with the speaker, stop tightening.

Step 2:

Positioning the Clamp Assembly

Now, position the clamp
assembly on the wall, ceiling or
shelf at the mounting location
you have selected.

Using the clamp plate as a template, accurately mark the two hole locations with a pencil.

Remove the clamp plate before drilling holes.

STEP 3:

PREPARING THE MOUNTING SURFACE AND ATTACHING THE 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 preparation 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

This mount will only fit and securely mount speakers

with 6mm pre-threaded inserts. If you are unsure about

the insert, please contact the speaker manufacturer.

Note: Use the supplied screws and anchors. Your 5.0 Mount is supplied with oversize surface mounting screws and anchors. The generous size of these fasteners provides an extra margin of safety for your installation.

Do not use substitutes.

Mounting Options

Before you begin, decide which mounting option and ball shaft are

appropriate for your speaker.

2.1Wall mounting

Orient the clamp assembly vertically—the OmniMount logo should be facing toward the ceiling, the tension screw head faces toward the floor (see fig. G or H)

Fig. G

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

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

•Insert a 5/16” (8mm) diameter drill bit (not provided). Set depth of

drill at a minimum 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” (63.5mm) depth.

Your speaker must have a factory-installed 6mm threaded insert. We have found that most of the factory inserts installed for mounting are strong enough to safely support the speaker. However, some inserts located on the top, bottom, or sides of the speaker are designed to be used in pairs for attaching a “U-shaped” bracket to the speaker. When one of these two inserts is used alone it may not have adequate pullout strength to support the weight for the speaker in some cases. If you have any questions regarding the use of the inserts in your speaker, consult your dealer or contact the speaker manufacturer directly.

Tools Required

You will need at least these tools for the installation

•5/32” hex wrench (supplied)

•An electric drill

•Drill bits: ¼” (for drywall installation) or 5/16” (for wood and masonry surfaces)

•7/16”(11mm) open wrench or small crescent wrench

•Phillips screwdriver, medium size (or electric drill with Phillips drive bit)

•Wire cutters

•Hammer

2.2Ceiling or shelf mounting orientation

The clamp assembly should be oriented so that the clamp plate and OmniMount logo face the same direction as the front of the speaker you are mounting.

The jaw and the tension screw will face in the opposite direction (toward the wall).(see fig I or J)

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

mounting surface (Fig. K). Fig. K

•Position the clamp assembly over the anchors. (Fig. L)
