Fixing to the Wall The R45HD & R90HD come with a bracket to mount it on the wall. It is fixed using the 2 button head screws on the back of the cabinet either side of the terminals. WARNING: Ensure that there are no water pipes, or electricity cables running behind where the wall bracket is going to be secured. Work from secure steps and avoid trailing wires. WARNING: Do not connect your speaker cable to the amplifier before connecting it to the speaker.
3. For fixing to a wooden wall/structure, use a 2mm drill bit to drill 2 pilot holes and use 25mm screws to secure the bracket. 4. Fully unscrew the 2 wall bracket mounting screws in the back of the speaker cabinet using the ‘hex’ key provide (Fig. 4). Using the two screws that have just been removed, attach the forked part of the wall bracket to the back of the speaker (Fig. 5). This should be tightened securely. Figure 4. Figure 5. 5. Connect the speaker cables as in Fig. 6.
Fixing the R180HD/ R225HD/ R250HD/ R oneHD to a Wall Additional Points to Remember • • • • • When using the wall fixing plate, the speaker will drop by 7.5mm due to the key hole fixing. Templates are supplied with the products to aid fixing. The grille badge can be rotated. Simply apply some pressure with your thumb/ finger and rotate it. Please allow no more than 200mm (8 inches) of slack cable protruding from the wall. All unused cable can be wound around the inside of the terminal panel.
