upper bracket located at the other end of the DMT. Again, pay close attention
to mark the correct mounting holes for the model you’re installing.
NOTE: Ultimately, the wall location where you’ll be installing your EW series
speaker will have a stud or other framing member very close by. You may
want to use a stud-finder (available at your local hardware store) to locate the
nearest stud. It is highly recommended you place your EW series mounting
brackets where at least two of the bracket’s screws can be placed into a stud
or other framing member. Then, follow the drywall mounting steps below
for the other two remaining holes per mounting bracket. Mounting your EW
series speaker this way provides for a very secure installation.
If the wall location doesn’t have a stud or other framing member nearby,
and you need to install your mounting brackets onto drywall only, use a
screwdriver or drill-driver to screw a zinc drywall anchor (see the illustration
below) into each of the eight mounting bracket hole locations you’ve marked.
The drywall anchors have a self-drilling end which does not require you to
pre-drill the hole.
Installation – Mounting Brackets
Once all drywall anchors are in place, place the mounting bracket in position,
paying careful attention to the bite direction of the bracket (see illustration
on page 5). The bite direction of both brackets faces outward from the center
of the speaker. Use a screwdriver or drill-driver and four screws per mount
to fasten each bracket to the wall securely.
If mounting to surfaces other than drywall, we recommend you consult
with a hardware or construction professional to obtain the best hardware
for your application.
