Remove Mounting Plate

Satellite speakers may require either the single hole mounting plate (B) or the double hole mounting plate (A). Remove mounting plates (if attached) from arm (C or D) by disengaging the hex set screws a few turns using the allen wrench (P). Pull mounting plates (A or B) from arm.

NOTE: Speaker mounts may come preassembled in different configurations.

Installing Mounting Plate to Speaker

Single hole threaded insert mounting

Confirm the hole size on back of speaker can use either of the following screws: 8 - 32 × 5 / 8 screw (F), M5 x 20 mm Phillips screw (E), 1 / 4 - 20 × 7 / 8 phillips screw (G) or M4 x 8 mm flat head phillips screw (H).

For attachment to speakers with M5 threaded insert:

Attach single hole mounting plate (B) to back of speaker using M5 x 20 mm screw (E) as shown.

For attachment to speakers with M4 threaded insert:

Attach single hole mounting plate (B) to back of speaker using M4 × 8 mm flat head phillips screw (H) through the off-center hole on mounting plate as shown.

For attachment to speakers with 8-32 threaded insert:

Attach single hole mounting plate (B) to back of speaker using 8 - 32× 5 / 8 phillips screw (F) as shown.

For attachment to speakers with 1/4"-20 threaded insert:

Attach single hole mounting plate (B) to back of speaker using 1/4 - 20 × 7/8 phillips screw (G) as shown.

2-1 Single Keyhole Mounting

Insert 8 - 32 × 5 / 8 " phillips screw (F) through the single hole mounting plate (B) and thread the 8-32 round key hole nut (J) a few turns onto the 8 - 32 × 5 / 8 " phillips screw as shown in figure 2.1 and figure 2.2. Be certain beveled edges of round key hole nut face mounting plate. Do not fully secure 8-32 round key hole nut at this time. Insert 8-32 round key hole nut into the key hole slot of speaker and slide upward into narrow end of key hole as shown in figure 2.3. Secure mounting plate to speaker by gently pulling back on mounting plate and tighten 8 - 32 × 5 / 8 " phillips screw.

2-2 Two-hole or Four-hole Mounting

Attach double hole mounting plate (A) to speaker using two 1/4 - 20 × 1/2 screws (K) as shown in figure 2.4. Four-hole speaker mount patterns can be accommodated by positioning the mounting plate diagonally as shown in figure 2.5.

fig. 2.5

2-3 Self-Tapped Mounting

Position double hole mounting plate (A) on back of speaker in mounting location and use it as a template to mark center of holes. Drill two pilot 1/8'' (3 mm) dia. holes .5" (12 mm) deep. Do not drill deeper than .5".

CAUTION

• Do not drill or screw into the speaker where you could possibly damage the internal components. If unsure of location of internal components, check specifications with manufacturer of the speaker.

Secure mounting plate to speaker with two #12 x 3/4" self tapping screws (M).

Installing Mounting Plate to Wall or Ceiling

For Attachment to Wood Studs or Wood Beams

Use a stud finder to locate the edges of the stud. Use of an edge-to-edge stud finder is highly recommended. Based on their edges, draw a vertical line down the stud's center. Place mounting plate (A) on wall as a template. Mark the center of the two mounting holes. Make sure the mounting holes are on the stud centerline. Drill four 1/8'' (3 mm) dia. holes 1-7/8'' (48 mm) deep. Secure mounting plate using two #12 x 1-3/4" self tapping screws (N).

For Attachment to Concrete or Cinder Block

Use mounting plate as a template to mark the two mounting holes. NOTE: For wall mounting applications, position mounting holes in a vertical pattern. Drill two 5 / 16'' (8 mm) dia. holes to a minimum depth of 1-7/8" (48 mm). Insert anchors (O) in holes flush with surface as shown in figure 3.2. Place mounting plate over anchors and secure with two #12 x 1-3/4" self tapping screws (N) as shown in figure 3.3.

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 overtighten. Overtightening can damage the screw, greatly reducing its holding power.
• Never tighten in excess of 80 in - lb (9 N.M.).

3-2 For Attachment to Drywall surface

Use mounting plate (A) as a template to mark the two mounting holes. NOTE: In wall mounting applications position mounting holes in a vertical pattern. Drill two 5 / 16'' (8mm) dia. holes through drywall. Insert anchors (O) in holes flush with drywall as shown in figure 3.4. Place mounting plate over anchors and secure with two #12 x 1-3/4" self tapping screws (N).

Installing Arms to Mounting Plate

Insert arm (C) or extension arm (D) onto mounting plate attached to surface as shown in figure 4.1 or 4.2. Extension arm can be used with arm as shown in figure 4.3. Tighten set screws with allen wrench (P).

NOTE: Extension arm is not recommended with wall mounted applications.

Insert mounting plate (A or B) attached on speaker into arm (C). Tighten set screw with allen wrench (P) as shown in figure 4.4 or 4.5.
