5.0 Speaker Mount

User’s Guide and Installation Manual

•

This mount is intended for mini speakers that weigh
up to 5lbs (2.3kg) and have a 6mm threaded insert.
(See illustration

• This mount will only fit and securely mount speakers
with 6mm pre-threaded inserts. If you are unsure about

the insert, please contact the speaker manufacturer.

Before You Start

Read This Section Carefully

To use the 5.0 Speaker Mount Kit, your speaker
must meet the following criteria:

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.

Note:

Use the supplied screws and anchors. Your 5.0

Mount is supplied with oversize surface mounting screws
and anchors. The generous size of these fasteners
provides an extra margin of safety for your installation.
Do not use substitutes.

The ball shaft-threads into the speaker. The clamp assem-
bly-Consists of the clamp plate and jaw. It mounts to the
wall, ceiling or a shelf. The clamp surrounds the ball. The
mounting angle may be adjusted by simply loosening the
clamp assembly tension screw.

KIT COMPONENTS & HOW THEY WORK TOGETHER:

Mounting Options

Before you begin, decide which mounting option and ball shaft are

appropriate for your speaker

appropriate for your speaker.....

Step 1:

Step 1: Attaching the Ball Shaft to the Speaker

Attaching the Ball Shaft to the Speaker

• Insert the ball shaft appropriate to
the mounting option you have
selected (refer to the mounting
options above).
• 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 7/16” (11mm) open wrench, tighten
the jam nut.

CAUTION:

DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. When the ball

shaft resists moderate rotational force and forms a solid
joint with the speaker, stop tightening.

Step 2:
Positioning the Clamp Assembly

Positioning the Clamp Assembly

2.1

Wall mounting

Orient the clamp assembly
vertically—the OmniMount
logo should be facing toward
the ceiling, the tension screw
head faces toward the floor
(see fig. G or H)

CAUTION: It may be
necessary to check that the
surface preparation and the
fasteners will not interfere
with electrical wiring,
plumbing, etc., behind
your mounting surface
(wall, ceiling, floor).

2.2

Ceiling or shelf mounting orientation

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.

The jaw and the tension
screw will face in the
opposite direction (toward
the wall).(see fig I or J)

2.2

Ceiling or shelf mounting orienta-
tion

Now, position the clamp
assembly on the wall, ceiling or
shelf at the mounting location
you have selected.

Using the clamp plate as a
template, accurately mark the
two hole locations with a pencil.

Remove the clamp plate before drilling holes.

CLAMP ASSEMBLY

Using the clamp plate as a template, mark the two holes with a pencil.

Remove the clamp plate before drilling into your mounting surface.

CAUTION: It may be necessary to check that the surface
preparation and the fasteners will not interfere with electrical
wiring, plumbing, etc., behind the mounting surface (wall, ceiling,

or floor).

Mounting Onto Solid Wood
•

Insert a 5/16” (8mm) diameter drill bit (not provided). Set depth of

drill at a minimum 2 ” (63.5mm) protruding from the end of
your drill.

•

Center the drill on the marked hole locations and carefully

drill the two holes to the minimum 2” (63.5mm) depth.

Your OmniMount Speaker Mount is designed to be
mounted on a variety of wall and ceiling constructions.
Please follow all safety precautions listed here before
installing the Clamp and Jaw Assembly.

CAUTION: Drilling holes into masonry or concrete material
requires the use of a carbide tipped 5/16” (8mm) diameter

masonry drill and/or hammer drill. Always wear eye protection.

•

Insert the two anchors fully until the flange is flush against the

mounting surface (Fig. K).

•

Position the clamp assembly over the anchors. (Fig. L)
