5. Adjust the tilt of the HMS-10 from –13 degrees (downtilt)
to +5 degrees (uptilt). Tighten the four side screws to
secure the HMS-10.
NOTE: Make sure the four side screws are
completely tightened to ensure that the
HMS-10 won’t move from its desired position.
TIP: If more than 5 degrees of uptilt are needed
for the HMS-10, the adjustable bracket can be
oriented upside down (mount the wall plate on the
wall upside down and remove and reattach the loud-
speaker plate to the HMS-10 also upside down). This
orientation allows uptilt angles up to 13 degrees.
NOTE: When mounting the HMS-10 in a soffit,
allow at least 3 inches above the unit to pro-
vide the necessary ventilation for its amplifier and
heat sink.
MOUNTING HMS-10 LOUDSPEAKERS IN
SOFFITS
When mounting the HMS-10 in a soffit, use a soffit that mea-
sures at least 24" wide by 36" high by 15" deep (610 mm x
914 mm x 381 mm). This ensures that the loudspeaker's full
80-degree horizontal by 80-degree vertical horn coverage
will reach the listener. If the soffit is deeper than 15”, or the
HMS-10 is angled down, the overall height of the soffit
should be increased to accommodate the horn’s vertical
coverage.
In addition, make sure to allow at least 3 inches above the
HMS-10 for the mounting bracket to slide into place. The
extra space also provides the necessary ventilation for the
unit’s amplifier and heat sink.
