high you’d like to hang the bar speaker
on the wall.
The bar speaker must be hung within
6 feet of an AC power outlet for the
attached AC power cable to reach.
2. Use the STUD FINDER to locate 2
parallel wooden studs to screw the
mounting brackets into.
3. Mark the wall at the center of the studs
using the PENCIL.
4. Line the level up on both of your marks
to make sure they are level. If they’re
not, adjust the marks as needed to
make them level.
5. After you’ve double checked your
markings, DRILL through the top hole
on both mounting brackets directly
into the marks you’ve made on the
wall.
6. If you are using the brackets only and
no spacers, use the included short
screws. If you are using any of the
spacers or combination of the spacers,
use the long screws.
7. Use the LEVEL to level each of the
hanging brackets, then drill the second
screw into the bottom hole on both
mounting brackets.
8. Slide the bar speaker onto the
mounting brackets, and make sure
there is a rm and stable connection
