[. . . ] Attach the bracket to the wall with suitable fasteners screwed into structural members in the wall. Remember: It is the installer's responsibility to insure that the structure can safely support the load. Use a mimimum of four screws Wall Step 2: Install the Safety Line Using accepted safe rigging practices, secure one end of a suitable safety line (use cable, not chain, which will rattle) to a strong, secure point above the speaker, a point that can withstand the shock of the falling speaker. This is especially important in public spaces constructed with light-gauge steel studs. Do not attach the safety line to the bracket!The safety line should prevent the speaker from falling if the bracket tears loose from the wall. Secure the other end to the eyebolt that is fully threaded into the enclosure. Step 3: Wire the Speaker The amplifier and satellite speakers are wired as shown in Figure 22. It is highly advisable to support the unit while these connections are being made. Connect all wires to the speaker at the back terminal plate observing proper polarity of the connections. The push-terminals accept stranded wire up to 14 gauge. When using two satellites, wire the speakers directly into the output terminals of the panel. Four satellites may be connected either as two pairs directly to the output terminals or with daisy-chain wiring as in Figure 23.

Insert one of the 3/8-16-thread Phillips-head screws through the remaining clip and keep it within arm's reach. Lift the enclosure up to the ceiling and bring its back into contact with the bracket rungs. Slide the enclosure sideways to engage the clip over one bracket rung (1) and, while holding it tight against both rungs, insert the 3/8-16thread screw with its clip into the remaining mounting hole so the clip engages the remaining bracket rung (2, 3). Fingertighten the screw and straighten the clip. It will slide down the rungs until the four rubber feet are snug against the wall. Using a #3 right-angle Phillips screwdriver, securely tighten the second Phillips-head screw. Gently rotate the EV® logo a quarter turn and press firmly at its center to seat it securely into its mounting hole. 10. Step 4: Mount the Speaker to the Bracket First remove the two Phillips-head screws on the rear of the enclosure. Use the supplied eyebolt to mount one mounting clip to the top of the speaker as shown in Figure 24. Check to make sure that the wiring connections to the amplifier and the satellite speakers are correct and secure. For corner mounting Attach the four rubber mounting feet to the front side edges, and secure the safety line to the eyebolt. [. . . ] If there is sound, the problem is in the wiring. Verify that you have connected the correct wire pairs to the amplifier. Play something at low level through the amplifier (for example, from a CD player or tuner). Connect the test speaker in parallel with the malfunctioning line. [. . . ]
