Important Notes:
Please read the instruction sheet prior to installation. This speaker mount was designed solely for the mounting of small speakers weighing less than 10lbs.
We are not responsible for damage that may occur if speakers weighing more than 10lbs are used.
The user will have to determine which type of configuration will work best with the hardware that was purchased. If the included hardware does not
fit the application, the appropriate hardware will have to be purchased.

3. Some speakers use the smaller M4 x 8mm hardware,
which is inserted into the off-center hole on the mounting post
(Figure 2).
4. Check the size of the hole and make sure the 5/8”-32 x 5/8”
machine screw, the 1/4”-20 x ½”machine screw, the M6 x 20mm,
or the M5 x 20mm fits inside (Figure 3).
5. When the correct size and attach to the rear of the speaker
enclosure.
NOTE: If the screw does not tighten properly, use the M5 x 1/8”
plastic washer to tighten it up.
Key Hole Mounting
Single Hole Mounting
7. If your speaker has a factory key hole design, you will use the
5/8”-32 x 5/8” machine screws in combination with the key hole nut.
8. Loosely pre-assemble the mounting post with the 5/8”-32 x 5/8” machine screw
and key hole nut (Figure 4).
NOTE: Be sure the key hole nut is installed with the knurled (rough) edge
toward the post.
9. Engage the key hole nut into the key hole slot, as shown.
10. Put tension on the assembly by gently pulling back on the speaker mount post
while tightening the 5/8”-32 x 5/8” machine screw (Figure 4).
11. The key hole nut will engage on the housing in the key hole slot.
12. If the post does not tighten securely against the housing, it will be necessary to
use the M5 x 1/8” plastic washer as a spacer under the head of the 8-32 x 5/8”
machine screw (Figure 4).
2/4 - Hole Mounting
13. Find the best mounting configuration that matches your speaker enclosure. Four-hole speaker mount patterns
can be accommodated by positioning the speaker plate diagonally (Figure 5).
14. Using the 1/4”-20 x ½”machine screws, install the speaker plate and secure the speaker enclosure (Figure 5).

15. Locate the optimum location for the mounting plate and use it as a template to mark
the drilling locations.
NOTE: Do not drill or screw into the speaker where you could possibly damage the internal components.
16. Drill the pilot hole(s) using a 1/8” drill bit. This hole(s) should not be drilled more than
½”depth (Figure 6).
Self-Tapped Mounting
MOUNTING TO THE WALL OR CEILING
The mounting hardware for three different surface applications is supplied. You will need to determine what style hardware
will work best with your mounting surface. Always use caution when drilling into a wall or ceiling. Make sure to avoid
all electrical and water lines.

WOOD SURFACE
1. Using a stud finder, locate the wood stud or framing member.
NOTE: Always mount the speakers in the center of a stud.
2. Using the wall plate as a template, mark hole positions on mounting surface.
NOTE: In wall mounting applications position mounting holes in a vertical pattern (Figure 7).
3. Drill holes through the drywall and into the wood stud using a 1/8” drill bit.
These holes should be drilled 1-7/8” deep (Figure 7).
4. After the holes are drilled, mount the wall plate using the
ST5.5 x 45 self tapping screws.

DRYWALL SURFACE
1. Locate the best mounting location in the ceiling or wall.
Using the wall plate as a template, mark the hole positions
on the mounting surface.
NOTE: In wall mounting applications position mounting holes in a vertical pattern.
2. Drill holes in the drywall using a 5/16” drill bit (Figure 8).
3. Once the holes are drilled, insert the alligator anchor into the holes.
Make sure the anchors is flush with the wall and/or ceiling surface (Figure 8).
4. With theanchors in place, mount the wall plates using the
ST5.5 x 45 self tapping screws (Figure 8).
CONCRETE SURFACE
1. Using the wall plate as a template, mark the hole positions on the mounting
surface.
NOTE: In wall mounting applications position mounting holes in a vertical pattern.
2. Drill holes in the solid concrete or hollow block using a 5/16” masonry bit.
Once the holes are drilled, insert the #12-14 Alligator anchors (Figure 9)
into the holes, making sure the anchor is flush with the surface of the wall
(Figure 9).
3. With the wall anchors in place, mount the wall plate using the
ST5.5 x 45 self tapping screws (Figure 9).
