Step-by-Step Installation & Wiring
Step 1: Mount the Bracket
The mounting bracket can be installed two ways (see Figures 5 and 6),
allowing optimal configurations for installations. Leave 1.5" of space
between the bracket and the ceiling when installing in a corner! Attach
the bracket to the wall with suitable fasteners screwed into structural
members in the wall. Remember: It is the installer’s responsibility to
insure that the structure can safely support the load.

Step 2: Install the Safety Line
Using accepted safe rigging practices, secure one end of a suitable
safety line (use cable, not chain, which will rattle) to a strong, secure
point above the speaker, a point that can withstand the shock of the
falling speaker. This is especially important in public spaces constructed
with light gauge steel studs. Do not attach the safety line to the bracket!
The safety line should prevent the speaker from falling if the bracket
tears loose from the wall. Secure the other end to the eyebolt that is fully
threaded into the enclosure.
