packaging:
•Position the bracket on the wall with the shorter
edge located at the top and ensure the bracket
is level.
•If the speaker is being installed at the corner of a
wall and ceiling, make sure the top of the bracket is
flush with the ceiling.
STEP 4
Mark the mounting fastener locations:
•Mark one fastener location through each narrow slot
on the rear of the template/bracket provided.
(See Figure 2 and Figure 3, on the next page).
WARNING: The installer is solely responsible for
selecting and using appropriate fasteners and
installation techniques to ensure the speaker bracket
is securely mounted to structural members (wood
studs, concrete, or brick), as improper hardware or
installation may result in product failure, property
damage, serious injury
, or death.

per the manufacturer’s specifications and prepare the
speaker wire pass-through opening, as needed.

Route the speaker wires through the bracket. Position
the bracket on the wall, ensure the bracket is level, and
install the mounting fasteners per the manufacturer’s
specifications (see Figure 4).

Connect the speaker wires by joining the wires from
the speaker wire gland to the wire from the wall using
waterproof wire nuts. (red to red, and black to black)

Mount the speaker onto the bracket by first guiding
the upper channel of the speaker into the top portion
of the bracket then pushing the speaker toward the
wall to slide it and secure it in place. Ensure the speaker
is sitting flush with the wall and/or ceiling before
proceeding (see Figure 5).
