Example of installing the speakers on 
the wall
Notes
 Use screws that are suitable for the wall material 
and strength. As a plaster board wall is especially 
fragile, attach the screws securely to a beam and 
fasten them to the wall. Install the speakers on a 
vertical and flat wall where reinforcement is 
applied. 
 Contact a screw shop or installer regarding the 
wall material or screws to be used.
