Danger Danger of injury/damage!
An inadequate installation location may result in
damage.
• Mount the speakers such that they can not be hit acciden-
tally and that the cables do not pose a tripping hazard.
The speakers could break off, fall down and cause per-
sonal injury or be damaged.
• Do not mount the wall mounts near or directly above
sources of heat (e.g. heaters, ovens, other heat generat-
ing equipment such as amplifiers etc.).
• Avoid direct sunlight at the installation location.
• Verify the carrying capacity of the wall. Plasterboard walls
or drywalls (Rigips etc.) may give way when exposed to
excessive loads.
• Furthermore, please keep in mind that the vibrations
which are generated by the speaker can be transferred to
the wall by the wall mount. In case of wooden walls this
may cause distortions.
• Also note the dimensions of the speaker.
• Make sure that the installation is performed in a work-
manlike manner.
• Only use mounting material which is suitable for the
composition of your walls. If you are unsure regarding the
selection, consult an expert.
• Before drilling the holes, make sure that no pipes are
located within the drilling area using a metal detector.
