1. If the speaker is never going to be exposed to sudden accidental impacts,
wind, waves or earthquakes you can simply hang it on a nail using the nail
hole(s) of the bracket (See Figure 7).
2. The safest and most secure way to mount the speaker is by screwing it to the
mounting surface using your own hardware (suitable for the surface you are
mounting to) and the bracket supplied with the speaker (See Figure 7).
3. There are threaded brass inserts on the back of the OS-25 for attaching an
OmniMount or a custom bracket (See Figure 7). This allows you to position
the speaker at unusual angles or distances from the mounting surface.
Safety First!
Be careful to use hardware that is designed for the surface you are mounting to.
The OS-25 with the bracket weighs 9 pounds. If you are not sure of a safe way to
mount the speakers, consult a professional installer or a building contractor.
You will maximize the useful life of the speaker, by placing the speaker so that
it receives less exposure to the elements. Look for the best overall compromise
between sound quality, convenience, and exposure. Do not compromise safety.
PAINTING THE OS-25
The enclosure, the brackets, and the grills of the OS-25 can all be painted to
match the surroundings. Because we want you to preserve the acoustic quali-
ties of the grille, please paint the grille according to the grille painting instruc-
tions. Make sure you pick a paint that is appropriate for the mounting location.
There are interior and exterior varieties, and even paint for marine uses. If you
are not sure what paint to use, consult a paint store professional or a painter.
Tools Required
• A spray can of primer paint (Krylon Sandable Spray Primer #1318)
• The correct paint for the surroundings (oil or water based paint is fine)
• A paint brush or applicator if the paint is not in a spray can.
• A paper clip or a corkscrew (for removing the grille)
• Masking tape
• 2 paint masks (supplied)
• A damp cloth and a dry cloth
Preparing to Paint
1. Separate the parts of the speaker. You should remove the brackets and the
bracket knobs. Remove the grille by hooking it with a bent paper clip or the
tip of a corkscrew and pulling it away from the cabinet (See Figure 8).
