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).
