Hang Klipsch Rear Channel Speakers
Klipsch speakers are well-regarded by audio enthusiasts for their sound reproduction. Klipsch builds speakers for a variety of applications, including surround-sound systems. Positioning the speakers properly in a surround-sound system is essential for the best audio reproduction, and the rear speakers are often difficult to position properly. One solution is to hang the speakers, using brackets to position them.
Instructions
1. Determine the location where you wish to hang the rear speakers. Typically you'll want to position the speakers somewhat behind the main listening position, and then aim them downward at the listeners.
2. Hold the base of the first against the ceiling in the spot where you wish to mount it. Use a pencil to mark the locations where the mounting screws will go through the bracket's holes and enter the ceiling. You may want to have someone assist you in doing this.
3. If necessary, screw hollow-wall or ceiling anchors into the ceiling at the points you marked in Step 2. Use hollow-wall anchors if the ceiling is hollow behind the points where you need to secure the screws, such as in the case of a drywall-covered ceiling. If in doubt about what types of anchors to use, then check the instructions in the speaker bracket manual.
4. Secure the bracket to the ceiling, using the hardware supplied or recommended by the bracket manufacturer. When the bracket is placed, unscrew the pivoting arm of the bracket by loosening the screw holding it on.
5. Place the speaker-mount-end of the bracket against the back of the speaker. It's best to place the bracket in the center of the rear of the speaker. Using 1/4-inch wood screws, attach it to the speaker, using a screwdriver. Note that sometimes speakers have pre-drilled mounting-screw holes.
6. Attach the speaker mount arm of the bracket back to the portion of the speaker bracket mounted in the ceiling, and adjust the angle as necessary to aim your Klipsch speaker toward your listening location.
7. Repeat Steps 2 through 6 with the other speaker and speaker bracket.
