INSTALLING THE BRACKET ON POLE / SHELF FOOT

Installing the mounting bracket on a pole

The speaker can be installed horizontally or vertically on a pole with up to 1"

(2.54 cm) inner diameter with two standard 5/16 x 1-3/8 x 1/2" U-bolts with

5/16-18" threads. For a horizontal installation, install the mounting bracket

with its end "C" slots at the top. Also, when installing the speaker outdoors in

the horizontal position, locate the mounting bracket high enough so the front

of the speaker will point down toward the listening area.

Installation on pole

1. Pass two standard U-bolts behind the pole and slide bracket over ends.

2. Attach bracket with lock washers and bolts, and tighten.

Installation on in-ground pole

The speaker can be mounted on an in-ground pole with buried cable.

First, consult your local utility companies to learn of existing buried cables,

pipes or lines. Be aware of any local building code requirements that may be

applicable.

1. Drive a 1" (2.54 cm) pipe into the ground at the prequalied location.

Determine the length and location for the cable trench and dig below the

frost line. Use either direct buried speaker cable or cable run through

conduit.

2. Pass two standard U-bolts behind the pole and slide bracket over ends.

3. Attach bracket with lock washers and bolts, and tighten.

4. Leave about 2 feet of cable at the speaker end for connections and

adjustments.
