Drilling Mounting Holes
01) Hold the mounting plate (07) against the wall, as shown in Fig. 07, and mark the mounting locations.
Fig. 07
Drill holes at the marked locations. See 4.3.1.1. Drilling into Wood or 4.3.1.2. Drilling into Concrete on
page 12 for more information.
Insert anchors into the drilled holes (Fig. 08). Do not perform this step when mounting the device on a
wooden wall.
Fig. 08
Drilling into Wood
If you drill into wood, use hardwood drill bits. Predrill before inserting screws, to remove drill dust and to
avoid damaging of the wood.
Fig. 09
Note:
Hardwood drill bits shall be of the diameter slightly smaller than the screws used (e.g. for Ø 5 mm screws,
use a Ø 3,5 mm hardwood drill bit).
Drilling into Concrete
If you drill into a concrete wall, use drill bits for concrete. Do not drill into mortar joints. Screws installed in
mortar joints cannot safely support the weight of the device.
Fig. 10
Note:
Drill bits shall be of the same diameter as the anchors.

Fig. 14
To install the mounting plate (07), follow the steps below:
Hold the mounting plate (07), with the rubber gasket (08), against the wall, in such a way that all
cables fit through the opening in the rubber gasket (08) (Fig. 15).
Note:
Make sure that the opening in the gasket is located at the bottom (Fig. 15). If, for any reason, such
installation is not possible, seal the opening with a waterproof sealant to protect the device from the
ingress of water (Fig. 16).
Fig. 15
Fig. 16
Insert and tighten the screws to install the mounting plate (07) and the rubber gasket (08) on the wall
(Fig. 17). The screws shall be at least 12,5 mm long. Do not overtighten the screws as this can

transformer taps are:
Fig. 18
03) Install the line transformer tap cover (09) again.
Note:
The line transformer tap values depend on the type of amplifier connected to the PA system.
●For a 70 V amplifier, the line transformer taps are: 2,5 W/3,5 W/7,5 W/15 W.
●For a 100 V amplifier, the line transformer taps are: 5 W/7,5 W/15 W/30 W.
●For a conventional amplifier, use only the “8 Ω” line transformer tap.
The higher the wattage setting, the higher the volume level of the speaker.
