10.0 Speaker Mount

INstallation Instructions

To use the 10.0 Speaker Mount Kit, your speaker must meet the

following criteria:

• This mount is ONLY for speakers that weigh up to 10lbs. (4.5kg).

• Your speaker must have one of the following means of securing

the mount:

• A factory installed ¼”-20 threaded insert

• A keyhole manufactured into the back of the speaker

• Factory installed, correctly spaced threaded inserts for use

with our mounting plate

• Sturdy wood frame that can be safely drilled into and securely

attached to our mounting plate with the #14 course thread screws

provided.

CAUTION: If you have any questions or concerns regarding the

mounting of your speaker, contact a professional installer or the

speaker manufacturer as necessary.

The Clamp Assembly

The clamp assembly consists of the

clamp plate and jaw and attaches to

your mounting surface (wall, ceiling,

etc). The clamp assembly provides

the clamping action that surrounds the

ball and locks in the chosen angle of

adjustment (see fig. A)

Mounting Options

Before you begin, decide which mounting option and ball

shaft are appropriate for your speaker.

Before You Start

Read This Section Carefully

KIT COMPONENTS AND THEIR USE

Tools Required

You will need at least these tools for the installation

• 5/32” hex wrench (supplied)

• Drill bits: ¼” (for drywall installation) or 5/16” (for wood and masonry

surfaces)

• 7/16”(11mm) open wrench or small crescent wrench

• Phillips screwdriver, medium size (or electric drill with Phillips drive bit)

• Wire cutters • Hammer • An electric drill

OPTION I:

For Speakers With a ¼”-20 Factory Installed

Threaded Insert

• Insert the ball shaft and rotate it several turns until it is fully threaded

into the threaded female insert on the speaker. When you “hit bottom”

back out the ball shaft one quarter turn (Fig B).

• Using the 7/16 open wrench or crescent

wrench, firmly tighten the jam nut, but

DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.

• When the ball shaft resists moderate rotational

force and forms a solid joint with the

speaker, stop tightening.

OPTION II:

For Speakers with a “Keyhole” on the Back

Wall or ceiling mount ONLY

• Pick up the keyhole adapter. On one end there is a Philips head screw.

Make sure there is about ¼” clearance between the end of the adapter

and the head of the screw.

• Insert the top of the Phillips head

screw into the keyhole opening on

the back of the speaker. Slide the

adapter into the narrow part of the

keyhole opening as far as it will go.

• Grip the ball shaft and pull upwards against the Philips head screw at the

same time as you tighten the adapter against the back of the speaker.

Gently tighten the ball shaft with the 7/16 open wrench or small crescent

wrench (Fig C).

• Pick up the extra jam nut. Position it so that

the circular part of the nut faces the end of

the ball shaft protruding from the bottom of the mounting plate.

Thread the nut onto the shaft a few turns only—until the top of the nut

is even with the end of the ball shaft. (Fig. D)

OPTION IV:

For Wood Speakers with NO Threaded Inserts

• Pick up the extra jam nut. Position it so that the circular part of

the nut faces the end of the ball shaft protruding from the bottom

of the mounting plate. Thread the nut onto the shaft a few turns

only—until the top of the nut is even with the end of the ball shaft.

• Place the mounting plate on a flat surface and pull up on the ball

shaft. Screw the top jam nut down against the top of the

mounting plate.

The Ball Shaft

The ball shaft attaches to the speaker

in the following ways.

OPTION I— threads directly into the ¼”-20 factory installed

threaded insert on the speaker

OPTION II– speakers with a keyhole, slides into the keyhole adapter

OPTION III–when mounting plate is necessary to access threaded

inserts, the ball shaft attaches to the plate

OPTION IV– wood speakers with no threaded inserts, the ball shaft

attaches to the mounting plate which is attached to speaker with screws.

Determine which format is

needed for your speaker:

OPTION III:

For Speakers That Require a Mounting

Plate to Access Threaded Inserts

• You must affix the mounting plate to the ball shaft before attaching

the mounting plate to the speaker:

• Pick up the ball shaft and mounting plate. Insert the threaded end of the

ball shaft into the top of the mounting plate until it butts up against the

bottom of the jam nut.

• Place the mounting plate on a flat surface and pull up on the ball shaft.

Screw the top jam nut down against the top of the mounting plate.

• Attach the mounting plate to the speaker by placing the slotted holes over

the threaded inserts and inserting and tightening the screws. (Fig. E)

• Pick up the ball shaft. Screw it in

to the open end of the adapter as

far as possible.

• You must affix the mounting plate to the ball shaft before attaching the

mounting plate to the speaker:

• Pick up the ball shaft and mounting plate. Insert the threaded end of the

ball shaft into the top of the mounting plate until it butts up against the

bottom of the jam nut.

OPTION IV:

For Wood Speakers with NO Threaded Inserts

NOTE: When no threaded inserts for mounting

purposes have been provided by the speaker manufac-

turer, a speaker can still be safely mounted on the wall

or ceiling. But you have to be sure that it is put

together with materials strong enough to support its

own weight with the #14 course thread screws

provided. Most compact speakers are made well

enough and use adequate materials thick enough for

mounting with an OmniMount assembly. The #14

screws should not be used in Masonite®, thin panel

wood or plastic. Such materials will likely require

different fastening hardware and methods and

possible reinforcement to be mounted safely. If your

evaluation raises any questions about the speaker’s

construction or material strength, contact your dealer

or the speaker manufacturer and ASK QUESTIONS!

• 10.0 Wall Mount— To mount on a wall, the

mounting plate will be affixed to the back of the

speaker. If you are mounting on a side wall, the

mounting plate will be affixed to the side of the

speaker. The 10.0 straight ball shaft can also be used

for a ceiling application by affixing the mounting

plate to the top of the speaker.

• 10.0 Ceiling Mount— To mount to the ceiling, the

mounting plate will be affixed to the back of the

speaker. The 10.0 bent ball shaft can also be used for

a wall application by affixing the mounting plate to

the top or bottom of the speaker.
