One Systems U Bracket - Manual

One Systems U-Bracket Installation Guide
(Amended and Updated March 25, 2014)
One Systems, Inc. offers a variety of U-Brackets for use with its loudspeaker systems. U-Brackets provide an
easy way to achieve a vertical or horizontal wall mounting, or a ceiling parallel mount for loudspeaker systems.
Special Note: U-Brackets for standard One Systems products are made with 304-grade stainless steel and
are listed below. For installations where marine-grade speaker systems (316-grade stainless steel) are being
used, it is a requirement to also use 316-grade (marine-grade) U-Brackets, or the appropriate mounting
hardware for the venue installation that is also made using 316-grade stainless steel. Marine-grade U-Brackets
are available from One Systems for all marine-grade speaker systems built by One Systems. Marine-grade
speakers and mounting hardware should always be used in any outdoor installation venue that is within 10
miles, or 16 kilometers of salt water. The use of marine-grade brackets will reduce corrosion that will occur in
outdoor installations used this close to salt water or marine environments.
Caution should be exercised when connecting One Systems marine grade products and marine-grade rigging
to other metallic, non 316-grade stainless steel surfaces (dissimilar metals). The potential for galvanic
corrosion is high in marine environments, where the One Systems Marine-grade enclosures and rigging are
specified or required. Compatible metals and appropriate anode to cathode area ratios must be maintained. A
structural engineer with galvanic corrosion experience should be consulted prior to installation of marine-grade
products, or any One Systems products in marine environments.
