Wall/Table Top Mounting Instructions for:

IPD-TSB2.0 Dante-Enabled Soundbar

Step 1. - Choose Location and Run Cable

Determine that the desired mounting location is safe and clear of any physical obstructions that might hinder the proper installation of the speaker. Note: When selecting the IPD-TSB2.0 mounting location, be sure to carefully inspect and measure the wall where you intend to mount the speaker and your flat panel TV display. An inspection of the room, or rooms that back up to the wall you have selected can often alert you to potential obstacles. An electronic stud-finder is a useful tool to assist you in selecting the speaker placement, but be cautious as they often give false readings. For example, if the wall happens to be a common wall for a bathroom or kitchen, there is a good chance you will encounter water or sewer pipes that will not be detected by a stud-finder. It is recommended, that wherever possible, you try to fasten mounting brackets to a vertical stud with the appropriate wood screws. If it is not possible to mount the brackets over the studs, then it is recommended that the appropriate hollow wall anchors or toggle bolts be used to mount the IPD-TSB2.0.

Run CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable to the determined location and be sure to leave about two feet of extra cable for the final speaker installation. Because the IPD-TSB2.0 will mount a little over 0.5" from the wall, use an RJ45 connector without a strain relief. If the wire is run through the wall, then line the hole or J-Box up with the RJ45 connector on the back of the speaker. Note: Special consideration must be taken to run an Ethernet cable to the IPD-TSB2.0 speaker. Be certain that the Ethernet cable will reach the rear of the speaker where you plan to mount it. The speaker, when installed correctly, will be slightly over 0.5" from the wall.

If the flat panel monitor is not yet mounted to the wall, then install the display first to use as a guide for the IPD-TSB2.0. For best appearance and optimal response characteristics, it is recommended that the speaker be centered, and placed below the flat panel display.

Step 2.1. - Wall Mounting

For the best audio experience, the IPD-TSB2.0 should be centrally aligned and mounted directly below the TV display. Each IPD-TSB2.0 speaker comes with two mounting brackets that should be installed to the wall 16 inches apart and centrally located under the TV.

First, locate the center line of your TV display and make a light pencil mark on the wall that is 2.5" below the bottom of your display. Next, measure to the left of this mark exactly 8" and make another mark at that point. Make sure this mark is also 2.5" below the TV. Repeat this process on the right side of the display – making sure that this mark is level with the mark on the left side. This will create two marks that are 16" apart and 2.5" below the bottom of your display. (Figure 1) You have now identified the location for the two wall brackets for the IPD-TSB2.0 speaker.

Using a 1/16" drill bit, drill a pilot hole at each of your two marks above. Place one of the wall brackets on the wall and align the pilot hole with the bottom slot on the bracket and drill a second pilot hold in the center of the upper slot on the bracket. (Figure 2) This hole will be 7/8" above the first pilot hole. Repeat this process for the bracket on the other side. These pilot holes will let you know if your mounting bracket location is over a wall stud or not. If it is over a stud then that bracket can be installed with a suitable screw (for mounting on sheet rock walls, we recommend at least a #10 x1.5" pan head screw and a flat washer between the screw and the bracket). If the location for the bracket is not over a wall stud, then suitable drywall anchors that can support 15 lbs each must be used.

Following the guidelines above, mount the two brackets to the wall. Once they are installed, check that the center distance between the vertical mounting slots on the two brackets is exactly 16" apart.

Locate the two holes on the back of the speaker that are 8" apart from the center hole and install the two Mounting Pins in these holes. (Figure 3) The IPD-TSB2.0 is now ready to be mounted to the wall.

Connect the Ethernet cable to the RJ45 input on the rear of the IPD-TSB2.0. Carefully slide each Mounting Pin (a.) horizontally into the slot of the Mounting Bracket, and then (b.) downward into the vertical slot. (Figure 4) The Leveling Screws may be inserted into the bottom of the Mounting Bracket and used to adjust the height and to make sure the speaker is level. Tightening the screw will raise the speaker and loosening will lower it.

Step 2.2 - Table Top Mounting

Place the IPD-TSB2.0 face down on a soft clean surface with the grille on. Orient the speaker so the input terminal is on the right hand side. (a.) To attach the Table Top Mounting Feet to the Mounting Brackets, first remove the Leveling Screws from the underside of the Mounting Brackets and attach the Table Top Mounting Feet to the bottom of the bracket using the two supplied Table Top Feet Screws. Make sure that you orient the feet so that the longer side points to the front of the IPD-TSB2.0.

Repeat this for the other Mounting Bracket and Table Top Mounting Foot. Once you have the Table Top Mounting Feet securely fastened to the Mounting Brackets, it is now time to mount them to the IPD-TSB2.0. (b). Align the center of the cross section on the Mounting Bracket with the center of the mounting holes on the rear of the speaker and fasten using the supplied Table Top Mounting Screws for each bracket.

Note: When mounting the table top brackets, fasten the brackets to the far end mounting holes on each side of the speaker cabinet.

Step 3 - Final Adjustments

Be sure the RJ45 input connector on the rear of the speaker is tightly in place. Tuck any excess Ethernet cable behind the soundbar cabinet, using tie wraps if necessary to secure the Ethernet cable.
