Attachment of Base Unit to Wall or Ceiling

Note: Ceiling applications must be mounted to a ceiling joist (NO Drywall Only). Extension column will be used mostly with ceiling applications.

If bringing wire in from behind wall, make sure that wires are run through wire management slot ^* before mounting base unit (A) to wall or ceiling.

When using extension column, be sure to mount base unit (A) with wire management slot* facing right so that wire management hole in extension (B)** is facing down. Remember to run wires through wire management hole before mounting base unit (A) to wall or ceiling.

T V A

For Attachment to Wood Stud Walls: Use a stud finder to locate center of stud. Drill two 3/16" (5 mm) dia. holes to a minimum depth of 2" (51 mm). Attach mounting base unit (A) to center of wood stud using two wood screws (V) and two plastic screw plugs (T) as shown left.

IMPORTANT: Make sure wall bracket is level on wall.

T S A R

For Attachment to Metal Stud Walls or Direct Attachment to Drywall for Speakers Over 10 lb: Use a stud finder to locate center of stud. Drill two 5/8" (16 mm) dia. holes through metal stud. Attach mounting base unit (A) to center of metal stud using two #10-24 phillips screws (S), two plastic screw plugs (T) and two tagglers (R) as shown in DETAIL ONE.

IMPORTANT: Make sure mounting base (A) is level on wall. Product must be mounted through drywall that has a minimum thickness of 1/2" and into metal studs, 26 gauge or heavier.

DETAIL ONE

Bottom of plastic screw plug (T) A S R Drywall

Place screw (S) through bottom of plastic screw plug (T) and mounting base (A). Partially fasten toggler (R) to back of screw. Pivot toggler ends 90° and push through hole in drywall.

Drywall Metal Stud Top of plastic screw plug (T) A S R

Pull screw back until toggler is flush with metal stud and hold. Thread screw through with fingers and tighten securely. Place top of plastic screw plug (T) over screw.

T V A U

For Attachment to Concrete or Direct Attachment to Drywall for Speakers Under 10 lb: Drill one 1/4" (6 mm) dia. hole to a minimum depth of 2" (51 mm). Insert one anchor (U) in hole flush with wall. Place mounting base unit (A) over anchor (U) and secure with one wood screw (V) and one plastic screw plug (T). Make sure wall bracket is level, mark other hole and repeat steps with other fasteners. Tighten all fasteners.

IMPORTANT: Make sure wall bracket is level on wall.

WARNING

• When installing Peerless wall mounts on cinder block, verify that you have a minimum of 1 5/8" of actual concrete surface in the 1/4" diameter hole to be used for the concrete anchors. It is suggested that a standard electric drill on slow setting is used to drill the hole instead of a hammer drill to avoid breaking out the back of the hole when entering a void or cavity. Do not drill into mortar joints!
• Never attach concrete expansion anchors to concrete covered with plaster, drywall or other finishing material. If mounting to concrete surfaces covered with a finishing surface is unavoidable, the finishing surface must be counterbored.
• Tighten concrete anchor bolt firmly, but do not over-tighten. Overtightening can damage the bolt, greatly reducing its holding power.
• Never tighten in excess of 80 in • Ib (9 N.M.).

Note: If you are unable to attach your speaker to the Universal Speaker Mount please contact our customer service department for assistance prior to returning this product to the store from which it was purchased.
