Polk Audio R50, R15 warranty side of, Left, Top of speaker, Keyhole, slot

The R Series Bookshelf Loudspeakers feature a built-in keyhole slot for easy wall mount- ing. 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, consult 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 (R15=approx 9lbs/4kg ea; R20=approx 16lbs/7.25kg 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.w

•Each speaker has a keyhole4 mounting slot on the back panel. The slot appears centered approximately 1 " down from the top of the cabinet, approximately 4" from the left corner of the R20 and 3 " from the left corner of the R15. 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’sa 2 instructions. [figure 2b].

Tighten screws into stud or wall anchors, leaving screw heads protruding " to "•

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.
