shelf at the mounting location
you have selected.

Step 1: Attaching the Ball Shaft to the Speaker
KIT COMPONENTS & HOW THEY WORK TOGETHER:
Fig. J
• Insert the ball shaft appropriate to
the mounting option you have
selected (refer to the mounting
options above).
Fig. E
• Rotate the ball shaft several turns
until it is fully threaded into the
female insert on the speaker.
When you “hit bottom”, back out
the ball shaft approximately one
quarter turn (see Fig. E).
Using the clamp plate as a
template, accurately mark the
two hole locations with a pencil.

wall, ceiling or a shelf. The clamp surrounds the ball. The
mounting angle may be adjusted by simply loosening the
clamp assembly tension screw.
User’s Guide and Installation Manual
Remove the clamp plate before drilling holes.
STEP 3:
• Using the 7/16” (11mm) open wrench, tighten
the jam nut.
Before You Start
Read This Section Carefully
CAUTION: DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. When the ball
shaft resists moderate rotational force and forms a solid
joint with the speaker, stop tightening.
Using the clamp plate as a template, mark the two holes with a pencil.
Remove the clamp plate before drilling into your mounting surface.
To use the 5.0 Speaker Mount Kit, your speaker
must meet the following criteria:

preparation and the fasteners will not interfere with electrical
wiring, plumbing, etc., behind the mounting surface (wall, ceiling,

•
Insert the two anchors fully until the flange is flush against the
mounting surface (Fig. K).
2.2
Your speaker must have a factory-installed 6mm threaded
insert. We have found that most of the factory inserts
installed for mounting are strong enough to safely support
the speaker. However, some inserts located on the top,
bottom, or sides of the speaker are designed to be used in
pairs for attaching a “U-shaped” bracket to the speaker.
When one of these two inserts is used alone it may not
have adequate pullout strength to support the weight for
the speaker in some cases. If you have any questions
regarding the use of the inserts in your speaker, consult
your dealer or contact the speaker manufacturer directly.
The clamp assembly should be oriented so that the
clamp plate and OmniMount logo face the same
direction as the front of the speaker you are mounting.
