Setup and Installation
Proper installation is critical for the safety and stability of your speakers. Follow these steps carefully:
- Choose Location: Select a suitable wall location, ensuring it is structurally sound and free from electrical wires or plumbing. Consider optimal listening height and angle.
- Mark Drilling Points: Hold the mount against the wall at the desired height and use a pencil to mark the drilling points for the mounting screws.
- Drill Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. Use an appropriate drill bit size for the provided wall anchors (if applicable) and your wall type.
- Insert Wall Anchors: If using wall anchors, insert them into the drilled holes until flush with the wall surface.
- Attach Mount to Wall: Align the mount with the drilled holes and secure it to the wall using the provided screws. Ensure the mount is firmly attached and level.
- Attach Speaker to Mount: The mount is designed for compatible speakers like Sonos One, One SL, and Play 1. Carefully slide or secure your speaker onto the mount's platform. Ensure it is seated correctly and securely.

Operating and Adjustment
The My Wall HS 17 AL mount offers flexibility in positioning your speakers:
- Tilt Adjustment: The mount allows for vertical tilt adjustment. Gently adjust the speaker to your desired upward or downward angle to direct sound.
- Swivel Adjustment: The mount can be swiveled horizontally. Carefully rotate the speaker left or right to achieve optimal sound dispersion in your room.
Ensure that any adjustment screws are tightened after positioning to maintain the desired angle and prevent accidental movement.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and continued safe operation of your speaker mounts:
- Cleaning: Wipe the mounts with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Loose connections can compromise stability.
- Weight Limit: Never exceed the maximum weight capacity of 3 kg per mount.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your speaker mounts, consider the following:
- Mount feels loose: Re-check all mounting screws on the wall and any screws securing the speaker to the mount. Tighten as necessary.
- Speaker not holding position: Ensure all adjustment screws are sufficiently tightened after positioning the speaker.
- Mount appears unstable: Verify that the wall material is appropriate for the mounting hardware used and that the mount is installed into a stud or with proper anchors. Ensure the speaker weight does not exceed 3 kg.
