To use the 5.0 Speaker Mount Kit, your speaker
must meet the following criteria:
Yourspeakermusthaveafactory-installed 6mmthreaded
insert. We have found that most of the factory inserts
installed for mounting are strong enough to safely support
the speaker. However, some inserts located on the top,
bottom, or sides of the speaker are designed to be used in
pairs for attaching a “U-shaped” bracket to the speaker.
When one of these two inserts is used alone it may not
have adequate pullout strength to support the weight for
the speaker in some cases. Ifyouhaveanyquestions
regardingthe use of the inserts in yourspeaker, consult
yourdealerorcontactthespeakermanufacturerdirectly.
Note: Use the supplied screws and anchors. Your 5.0
Mount is supplied with oversize surface mounting screws
and anchors. The generous size of these fasteners
provides an extra margin of safety for your installation.
Do not use substitutes.
The ball shaft-threads into the speaker. The clamp assem-
bly-Consists of the clamp plate and jaw. It mounts to the
wall, ceiling or a shelf. The clamp surrounds the ball. The
mounting angle may be adjusted by simply loosening the
clamp assembly tension screw.

•Insert the ball shaft appropriate to
the mounting option you have
selected (refer to the mounting
options above).
• Rotate the ball shaft several turns
until it is fully threaded into the
female insert on the speaker.
When you “hit bottom”, back out
the ball shaft approximately one
quarter turn (see Fig. E).
•Using the 7/16” (11mm) open wrench, tighten
the jam nut.
CAUTION: DONOTOVER-TIGHTEN. When the ball
shaft resists moderate rotational force and forms a solid
joint with the speaker, stop tightening.

2.1 Wall mounting
Orient the clamp assembly
vertically—the OmniMount
logo should be facing toward
the ceiling, the tension screw
head faces toward the floor
(see fig. G or H) CAUTION: Itmay be
necessary to check that the
surface preparation and the
fasteners will not interfere
with electrical wiring,
plumbing, etc., behind
your mounting surface
(wall, ceiling, floor).

2.2 Ceiling or shelf mounting orientation
The clamp assembly should be oriented so that the
clamp plate and OmniMount logo face the same
direction as the front of the speaker you are mounting.
The jaw and the tension
screw will face in the
opposite direction (toward
the wall).(see fig I or J)

Now, position the clamp
assembly on the wall, ceiling or
shelf at the mounting location
you have selected.
Using the clamp plate as a
template, accurately mark the
two hole locations with a pencil.
Remove the clamp plate before drilling holes.

Using the clamp plate as a template, mark the two holes with a pencil.
Remove the clamp plate before drilling into your mounting surface.
CAUTION: It may be necessary to check that the surface
preparation and the fasteners will not interfere with electrical
wiring, plumbing, etc., behind the mounting surface (wall, ceiling,

• Insert a 5/16” (8mm) diameter drill bit (not provided). Set depth of
drill at a minimum 2 ” (63.5mm) protruding from the end of
your drill.
•Center the drill on the marked hole locations and carefully
drill the two holes to the minimum 2” (63.5mm) depth.
Your OmniMount Speaker Mount is designed to be
mounted on a variety of wall and ceiling constructions.
Please follow all safety precautions listed here before
installing the Clamp and Jaw Assembly.
CAUTION: Drilling holes into masonry or concrete material
requires the use of a carbide tipped 5/16” (8mm) diameter
masonry drill and/or hammer drill. Always wear eye protection.
•Insert the two anchors fully until the flange is flush against the
mounting surface (Fig. K).
•Position the clamp assembly over the anchors. (Fig. L)

•Insert the hex key into the tension screw
head and tighten (see Fig. O)
Caution: Tightest is not always the best! Over
tightening fasteners can weaken the installation.
Make sure the connection is extremely solid and then
stop tightening.
•If the speaker angle must be changed, do
not attempt to move the speaker without
first loosening the tension screw.
Reposition, then tighten the tension
screw further until the speaker is held
firmly in place.
•If rotational adjustment of the mounted speaker is
required, the jam nut must first be loosened, the
speaker rotated, and the jam nut tightened again. Use
the 7/16” (11mm) open wrench or a small adjustable
crescent wrench for this procedure.
Caution: If the speaker loses its position, do not
attempt to move the speaker without first loosening the
tension screw. Reposition, then tighten the tension
screw further until the speaker is held firmly in
place.

•You can help to enhance the appearance of the installation
with the two small tie wraps that have been provided in
your kit:
•Position the wire on the ball shaft. Wrap one of the tie wraps
around both the ball shaft and wire. Repeat this step for the
second tie wrap.
•Loop the open end of the tie
wrap into the slot in the other
end. Pull tie wrap closed.
Repeat this step for the second
tie wrap.
•Using a small pair of wire
cutters, snip the extra lengths of
the tie wrap off-as close as
possible to the wrap “buckle.”
