by
Step 1. - Choose Location and Run Cable
Determine that the desired mounting location is safe and
clear of any physical obstructions that might hinder the
proper installation of the speaker. Note: When selecting the
IPD-TSB2.0 mounting location, be sure to carefully inspect
and measure the wall where you intend to mount the speaker
and your at panel TV display. An inspection of the room, or
rooms that back up to the wall you have selected can often
alert you to potential obstacles. An electronic stud-nder is a
useful tool to assist you in selecting the speaker placement,
but be cautious as they often give false readings. For
example, if the wall happens to be a common wall for a
bathroom or kitchen, there is a good chance you will
encounter water or sewer pipes that will not be detected by a
stud-nder. It is recommended, that wherever possible, you
try to fasten mounting brackets to a vertical stud with the
appropriate wood screws. If it is not possible to mount the
brackets over the studs, then it is recommended that the
appropriate hollow wall anchors or toggle bolts be used to
mount the IPD-TSB2.0.
Run CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable to the determined
location and be sure to leave about two feet of extra cable for
the nal speaker installation. Because the IPD-TSB2.0 will
mount a little over 0.5” from the wall, use an RJ45 connector
without a strain relief. If the wire is run through the wall, then
line the hole or J-Box up with the RJ45 connector on the
back of the speaker. Note: Special consideration must be
taken to run an Ethernet cable to the IPD-TSB2.0 speaker.
Be certain that the Ethernet cable will reach the rear of the
speaker where you plan to mount it. The speaker, when
installed correctly, will be slightly over 0.5” from the wall.
If the at panel monitor is not yet mounted to the wall, then
install the display rst to use as a guide for the IPD-TSB2.0.
For best appearance and optimal response characteristics, it
is recommended that the speaker be centered, and placed
below the at panel display.
Step 2.1. - Wall Mounting
For the best audio experience, the IPD-TSB2.0 should be
centrally aligned and mounted directly below the TV display.
Each IPD-TSB2.0 speaker comes with two mounting
brackets that should be installed to the wall 16 inches apart
and centrally located under the TV.
First, locate the center line of your TV display and make a
light pencil mark on the wall that is 2.5” below the bottom of
your display. Next, measure to the left of this mark exactly 8”
and make another mark at that point. Make sure this mark is
also 2.5” below the TV. Repeat this process on the right side
of the display – making sure that this mark is level with the

Using a 1/16” drill bit, drill a pilot hole at each of your two
marks above. Place one of the wall brackets on the wall and
align the pilot hole with the bottom slot on the bracket and
drill a second pilot hold in the center of the upper slot on the
bracket. (Figure 2) This hole will be 7/8” above the rst pilot
hole. Repeat this process for the bracket on the other side.
These pilot holes will let you know if your mounting bracket
location is over a wall stud or not. If it is over a stud then that
bracket can be installed with a suitable screw (for mounting
on sheet rock walls, we recommend at least a #10 x1.5” pan
head screw and a at washer between the screw and the
bracket). If the location for the bracket is not over a wall stud,
then suitable drywall anchors that can support 15 lbs each
must be used.
mark on the left side. This will create two marks that are 16”
apart and 2.5” below the bottom of your display. (Figure 1)
You have now identied the location for the two wall brackets
for the IPD-TSB2.0 speaker.
Following the guidelines above, mount the two brackets to
the wall. Once they are installed, check that the center
distance between the vertical mounting slots on the two
brackets is exactly 16” apart.
