Pole Mounting – The ELS15 USB also include a pole mount option. 
The pole mount socket located on the bottom of the speaker may be 
used to secure the speaker to a speaker tri-pod, such as the American 
Audio® SPS-1B as illustrated on the left. Always be sure to follow the 
guidelines listed below when pole mounting your speaker;
     • Always be sure the stand is designed to support the weight of 
        the speaker
     • In outdoor situations that are prone to windy conditions and 
        strong wind gust, be sure to use sandbags as additional tri-pod
        support, this will greatly reduce the risk of tipping
     • Do not stack speakers on top of each other when mounting on 
        a tri-pod. Only one speaker should be mounted to a tri-pod at on\
e
        time.
     • Always position the tri-pod legs away from foot traffic
     • Extend the tri-pod legs to their fully extended position to avoid
        accidental tipping
     • Observe and follow all safety guidelines and regulations specified
        by the tri-pod’s manufacturer
     • Be sure the tri-pod is situated on a flat, level, and stable surface 
     • Always tighten all tri-pod locks.
