4.2. Wall Mounting
- Select Location: Choose a suitable wall location, ensuring it can support the weight and is free from electrical wires or plumbing.
- Mark Drilling Points: Hold the bracket's base plate against the wall at the desired height and use a pencil to mark the screw hole locations.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. The size of the drill bit should be appropriate for your wall type and mounting screws.
- Attach Bracket: Secure the bracket's base plate to the wall using the provided mounting screws. Ensure it is firmly attached and level.
4.3. Attaching the Speaker
- Prepare Speaker: Locate the mounting screw hole(s) on your speaker.
- Attach Speaker to Bracket: Align the speaker's mounting hole(s) with the holes on the bracket's speaker plate. Use the appropriate screws to secure the speaker to the bracket.
- Connect Safety Wire: Attach the safety wire from the bracket to a secure point on the speaker, if applicable, to prevent accidental drops.
5. Operating and Adjustment
The TK-L70 bracket allows for flexible positioning of your speaker.
- Angle Adjustment: The bracket features a 7-step angle adjustment mechanism, allowing for 15-degree increments. Loosen the adjustment knob (visible in Image 1 and 2) to change the speaker's vertical angle. Once the desired angle is achieved, tighten the knob firmly to secure the position.
- Horizontal Adjustment: The bracket may allow for slight horizontal rotation depending on the mounting method. Adjust as needed for optimal sound dispersion.
6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and proper function of your speaker bracket:
- Cleaning: Wipe the bracket with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Periodic Inspection: Regularly check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure.
- Avoid Damage: Do not hang heavy objects from the bracket or apply excessive force.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your speaker bracket, refer to the following:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bracket feels loose on the wall. | Screws are not tight enough or wall anchors are insufficient. | Retighten mounting screws. If still loose, consider using stronger wall anchors or relocating to a stud. |
| Speaker is not securely attached to the bracket. | Speaker mounting screws are loose or incompatible. | Ensure speaker mounting screws are tight and correctly sized for your speaker. |
| Angle adjustment knob does not hold position. | Knob is not tightened sufficiently. | Tighten the adjustment knob firmly after setting the desired angle. |
