How well do you know your walls? What they’re made of matters more than you think…

- Decide how high you want the speaker to be.
- Hold the wall mount Ⓓ against the wall and mark the location of the 2 holes.
How deep do you drill? Check if the entire screw (except its head) fits in the hole before placing the plugs. This stops things from breaking. Vacuum the hole after drilling.
- Mark the drill at the length of the screw Ⓗ.
- Drill until the thread of the screws Ⓗ completely fits in the holes.
Do not use the wall mount as a drill guide.
Up for some smooth sailing? Pre-drill the holes with a 5mm concrete/brick drill.
- Attach the wall mount Ⓓ to the wall with the screws Ⓗ, and plugs Ⓘ. Use the integrated spirit level to tilt the wall mount Ⓓ until it is level.
Make sure the wall mount is mounted with the opening pointing towards the ceiling.
Lubricate the screws for easy screwing in.

Solution
Problem
‘My wall screws have snapped!’
Cause
You might not be drilling deep enough… or your drill could be too blunt, so that the hole is too narrow and the screw gets stuck.
Solution
Use another hole in the wall plate to fix the wall mount to the wall. Make sure you use a sharp drill of the correct size. Vacuum the hole after drilling. Check if the entire screw (except its head) fits in the hole before placing the plugs.
