Features
The On-Wall Equipment GearBox ™ (UNI-GB) is the ideal storage box for A/V components. It’s
easy to install on a wall with no need to penetrate the ceiling. Add robust audio to the UNI-GB
by upgrading it with Premier Mounts’ compact power amplier (CPA-50) and pair of high-quality
speakers (UNI-SPKR). An Equipment Management Plate (UNI-EMP) can also be inserted to
compactly organize and secure additional equipment.
Added Security
Security screws lock in
the side doors to protect
the A/V components kept
inside.
Mounting Versatility
An array of upper and lower
mounting slots makes it
easy to attach the UNI-GB
to wood studs or directly to
the dry wall.
Add Audio
Replace the side doors with
Premier Mounts’ 2-way speaker
system (UNI-SPKR) and add
a compact power amplier
(CPA-50) for a complete sound
system (sold separately).
Cable Routing and Vents
Strategically placed cutouts
allow ventilation and openings
for cabling and wiring.

THE EXACT CENTER OF THE STUD MUST BE LOCATED FOR CORRECT AND SAFE INSTALLATION.
Use an electronic stud nder (not supplied) to
locate the center of the stud that is in the wall. Wood Stud

the projector, follow the suggested Option A wir-
ing diagram (Figure 1) for reference.
If you are connecting the sound sources directly to
the CPA-50 Power Amp and are using the external
volume control, follow the suggested Option B wir-
ing diagram (Figure 2) and 10k Pot Volume Dia-
gram (Figure 3) for reference.
Are you replacing the speaker wires?

If No, continue to the next question.
Is the sound unclear from the sides of the room?
If Yes, slightly pan the tweeters outward.
If No, continue to step 9.
µ When you are satised with the sound, re-attach the speaker grills.
 Insert and lightly hammer in two (2) M5 drywall
anchors (included with the UNI-SPKR) into the
drilled holes (see drawing).

anchor until the legs have completely compressed
against the back of the wall.
Do not overtighten the drywall anchor.
¯ Remove the drywall anchor screws and set them
aside.
° Return the speakers to their original position on the
wall so that the outer speaker holes align with the
drywall anchor sleeves.
