Using a Safety Cable
Some regional construction codes require the use
of a secondary method of securing loudspeakers to
support structures to provide additional safety. Choose
a mounting position, method, and hardware consistent
with local building codes and regulations.
Bose recommends using (1) a safety wire as a secondary
securing mechanism. See the diagram below for safety
attachment points.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for any secondary
securing mechanism implemented.
