MOUNTING

Wall Mount Brackets
A number of wall mount options are available for the XDS speaker range.

The wall mount U brackets permit speaker mounting in either horizontal or vertical orientation. The brackets are supplied with enclosure mounting plates to replace the standard pole mount and blank plate fitted to the speakers as standard.

The XDSWMB wall mount bracket permits vertical installation with a wide range of angular adjustments in the horizontal and vertical axis.

U brackets

Subwoofers
The XDS212 subwoofer is designed to be freestanding for floor-mounted installation.

It is supplied with a top-mounted 35 mm pole mount boot to suit satellite mounting via the ATC310 pole mount.

When mounting via a bracket or eyebolts the following must be considered.

The mounting of a permanently installed speaker may be dangerous unless undertaken by a qualified professional with the required experience.

Walls and mounting surfaces must be capable of supporting the speaker and bracketry in a safe and secure manner.

All fixings must be safely attached to the speaker cabinet and the mounting surface. All fixings must be fitted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and specifications.

Suspending with Eyebolts
The XDS range of speakers provides a number of secured mounting points for use with M10 eye bolts.
When suspending an XDS8, XDS10, or XDS12 loudspeaker, the two mounting points towards the front of the cabinet should be used, with the 3rd point used to angle the enclosure as needed.

All XDS eyebolt fittings are M10.

M10 Eyebolts with a minimum of 20 mm usable thread must be used.
