speaker that’s out of reach and the rest of the Sonos system.
Wall mounting
1. Choose a location that’s close to an electrical outlet (power cord length is 6 ft. / 1.8m), away from heat
sources, hidden wiring, gas lines, etc.
2. Drive an American standard #6 round head screw (metric, M3.5 round head screw) into the wall, leaving a
gap between the wall and the screw head (approximately 0.13 in / 3.3mm).
Note: Pan head screws will also work.
3. Place the Boost on the wall and slide straight down, allowing the screw head to slip behind the smaller
end of the keyhole slot on the back of the Boost.
