Wall mounting the M10 Bookshelf Loudspeaker

The M Series Bookshelf Loudspeakers feature a built-in keyhole slot for easy wall mounting. When wall mounting, we recommend using either bare wire or spade lug connections to ensure flush mounting. Follow the steps below to safely wall mount these speakers. Wall mounting requires basic skills with tools such as a drill and a screwdriver. If you are in doubt that you possess the necessary skills or tools, con- sult your Polk Audio dealer, or a professional installer.

•Make sure the material on which you plan to mount the speakers (plaster, drywall, paneling, stone, etc.) can support the weight of the speakers (M10=approx 9lbs/4kg ea)

•Make sure the locations you select do not conceal electrical wiring or plumbing.

•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.

•Each speaker has a keyhole mounting slot on the back panel. The slot appears centered approximately 3 1/4" from the left corner of the M10. Use these measurements to mark to your mounting location, being sure to leave approximately 1-2" of clearance above the speaker to compensate for the function of the keyhole slot.

•If you are certain that there is a stud behind the wall surface, drive #10 sheet metal screws (not included) through the wall and into the stud [figure 2a].

•If there is no stud behind the wall at the chosen location, install #10 wall

anchors (not supplied) into the wall by following the wall-anchor-manufacturer’s instructions. [figure 2b].

•Tighten screws into stud or wall anchors, leaving screw heads protruding 1" to 2" to leave room for attached wire and ensure that the screw fits into the keyhole slot. The speaker should mount flush to the wall.

•Line up the keyhole slot so that the screw head passes through the large center hole of the slot.

•Let the speaker slide straight down, allowing the screw head to slip

behind the smaller end of the keyhole slot [figure 3].

•Tug gently on the speaker to make certain that the speaker is secure.

•If the speaker is not held snug against the wall by the screw heads, remove the speaker from the wall, drive the screws in a little further and then remount the speaker.

M10, M20 specifications

Polk Audio is well-known for delivering high-quality audio experiences, and the M10 and M20 speakers exemplify the brand's commitment to performance and innovation. These speakers are designed to cater to audiophiles and casual listeners alike, offering a blend of style, functionality, and exceptional sound quality.

The Polk Audio M10 is a compact bookshelf speaker that packs a punch in terms of performance. Its design features a 5.25-inch Dynamic Balance driver that ensures clear mids and rich bass. The speaker is equipped with a 1-inch silk dome tweeter, which enhances the overall clarity and detail of high-frequency sounds. The M10 also employs a rear-firing bass port, allowing for improved low-end response and room-filling sound, making it an excellent choice for smaller rooms or as part of a home theater system.

On the other hand, the M20 is a more robust option. This floor-standing speaker features dual 6.5-inch Dynamic Balance drivers, which provide a more powerful bass response, ideal for larger spaces and dynamic listening experiences. The inclusion of a 1-inch silk dome tweeter further ensures that the high frequencies remain crisp and detailed, bringing music and movies to life. The M20's tall design allows for sound to project more effectively, which is particularly beneficial in multi-speaker setups.

Both models incorporate Polk's proprietary technologies, including the Dynamic Balance technology, which minimizes distortion and enhances overall sound clarity. The speakers are also magnetically shielded, ensuring that they can be placed near televisions and other electronic devices without any interference.

In terms of aesthetics, the Polk M10 and M20 speakers feature elegant finishes that can blend seamlessly with any home décor. The front grille can be removed for a more stylish look, showcasing their sleek design. They are also built with durability in mind, using high-quality materials to withstand the rigors of everyday use.

Overall, the Polk Audio M10 and M20 speakers exemplify the brand's dedication to quality sound and innovative technology.
