3 Installation
3.1 Mounting the SAM bracket to the wall or ceiling
Before you mount the SAM
TM
bracket to the wall or ceiling:
4 Determine whether you want to mount the bracket on the left or right side of the speaker
before you bolt the speaker to the bracket.
You can mount the SAM™ bracket on either side of the speaker. This enables optimal
configuration for any installation. It is best to mount the bracket on the side away from the
direction in which the speaker will be aimed. This ensures that the full swing angle is available
for aiming on that side and provides easier access to the swing tightening bolt on the wall
bracket (see Fig. 10, Step 3).
!
Warning!
Make sure the mounting surface can support more than the speaker's weight. Use only
industry-accepted fasteners and mounting methods when mounting the bracket. Consult an
expert if you are not sure.
For standard vertical installation, mount the SAM™ bracket on the side.

mounted on side
For horizontal mounting configurations, mount the bracket on the bottom side. It is easiest
and safest, and allows mounting the speaker closer to the ceiling.
