User Manual

• Place the speaker on a scratch-proof surface. Be careful to protect
any exposed components from damage. Position the mounting
plate at the chosen location on the speaker. Using the mounting
plate as a template, with a pencil, mark the outline of the two
slots on the surface of the speaker.
• Remove the mounting plate from the
speaker where you had been using it
as a template. Insert the 3/32” drill
bit (provided) so that ½” sticks out
of the end of your drill
• Position the drill bit ¼” down from
the far end of the slot but centered in
the middle of the slot.
• Drill the pilot hole straight down into
speaker. Repeat the procedure for
the second slot location. (Fig. G).
CAUTION: Be careful not to drill or screw into a
speaker where you could possibly damage internal
components. If there’s a question about this, check with
your dealer or the manufacturer, or you may choose to
carefully remove the driver and check inside the speaker
enclosure yourself.
• Place mounting plate onto the speaker,
insert the #14 screws and tighten until the
screws are firmly seated against the top
of the mounting plate.
Do not over tighten! (Fig. H).
• Using the 7/16 open wrench or small
crescent wrench, tighten the jam nut
securely against the top of the mounting
plate (Fig. I).
STEP 2:
POSITIONING CLAMP ASSEMBLY
Position the clamp plate vertically the OmniMount Logo should be
facing toward the ceiling, the tension screw head faces towards the floor
(Fig. J).
Position the clamp assembly onto the wall, ceiling
or floor at the mounting location you have
selected.
Ceiling or Floor Mounting
Using the clamp plate as a template, mark the two holes with a pencil.
Remove the clamp plate before drilling into your mounting surface.
STEP 3:
ATTACHING CLAMP ASSEMBLY
CAUTION: It may be necessary to check that the surface preparation and
the fasteners will not interfere with electrical wiring, plumbing, etc.,
behind the mounting surface (wall, ceiling, or floor).
Mounting Onto Solid Wood or Masonry
• Insert a 5/16” (8mm) diameter drill bit (not provided). Set depth of drill
at a minimum 2 1/2” (63.5mm) protruding from the end of your drill.
• Center the drill on the marked hole locations and carefully
drill the two holes to the minimum 2 ½” (63.5mm) depth.
• Insert the two anchors fully until the flange is flush against the mounting
surface (Fig. K).
• Position the clamp assembly over
the anchors. (Fig. L)
• Insert and tighten the #12 coarse
thread screws (provided). (Fig M).
Use a Phillips screwdriver or a
Phillips bit in a battery powered
drive tool (Fig. N).
Your OmniMount Speaker Mount is designed to be
mounted on a variety of wall and ceiling constructions.
Please follow all safety precautions listed here before
installing the Clamp and Jaw Assembly.
CAUTION: Drilling holes into masonry or concrete material requires the
use of a carbide tipped 5/16” (8mm) diameter masonry drill and/or hammer
drill. Always wear eye protection.
OPTION IV:
For Wood Speakers with NO Threaded Inserts
STEP 3:
ATTACHING CLAMP ASSEMBLY
STEP 4:
JOINING THE BALL SHAFT
AND CLAMP ASSEMBLY
• Check that the clamp assembly is open
enough to accept the ball. Get the 5/32”
(4 mm) hex wrench. Now lift the speaker
into position and “pop” the ball into the
clamp assembly. Set your chosen angle of
adjustment.
• While supporting the speaker, insert the
long end of the hex key and turn the hex
tension screw clock-wise to take up the
slack in the clamp assembly, but do not
fully tighten. (The ball should be properly
seated, and the speaker should still move
easily). (see figure O).
ADJUSTING THE POSITION OF THE
SPEAKER AND TIGHTENING
THE CLAMP ASSEMBLY
• Orient and hold the speaker in its final fixed position.
CAUTION: The weight of the speaker must be fully supported
throughout the entire tightening process. Do not allow the ball shaft to
rest upon or push against the clamp assembly. Two installers may be
needed for this; one to support the speaker while the other tightens the
clamp assembly.
• Insert the hex key into the tension screw head and
tighten (see Fig. P)
• Pick up the vice grip pliers, regular pliers,
or small crescents wrench and use one of
these tools to assist in tightening the
tension screw. Tighten in ½ turn
increments until the speaker is firmly held in
place.
STEP 2:
POSITIONING CLAMP ASSEMBLY
Wall Mounting
The Wall Mount Ball Shaft may also be used to
mount a speaker from the ceiling.
For installation placement refer to fig. J-1.
The clamp assembly should be positioned so that
the clamp plate (with the OmniMount logo)
faces in the same direction as the front of the
speaker you are mounting. The jaw and the
tension screw will face in the opposite direction
(towards the wall) (see fig O).
• NOTE: To hold the speaker in position and
prevent any slippage, the clamp assembly must
get a good “bite” into the ball and form a SOLID
joint. The clamp assembly needs to be tightened
enough to lock and hold the speaker FIRMLY at
the chosen angle. When that point is reached, no
further tightening is necessary.
Caution: Tightest is not always the best! Over tightening fasteners
can weaken the installation. Make sure the connection is extremely
solid and then stop tightening.
• If the speaker angle must be changed, do not attempt to move the
speaker without first loosening the tension screw. Reposition,
then tighten the tension screw further until the speaker is held
firmly in place.
• If rotational adjustment of the mounted speaker is required, the jam
nut must first be loosened, the speaker rotated, and the jam nut
tightened again. Use the 7/16” (11mm) open wrench or a small
adjustable crescent wrench for this procedure.
Caution: If the speaker loses its position, do not attempt to move the
speaker without first loosening the tension screw. Reposition, then
tighten the tension screw further until the speaker is held firmly
in place.
