Installation Instructions
To use the 20.0 Speaker Mount Kit, your speaker must meet ONE of
the following criteria:
• This mount is ONLY for speakers weighing up to 20lbs
(9 kg).
• Your speaker must have one of the following means of
securing the mount:
• A factory installed 3/8”-16 threaded insert
• Factory installed, correctly spaced threaded inserts for use
with our mounting plate
• Sturdy wood frame that can be safely drilled into and
securely attached to our mounting plate with the #14 course
thread screws provided.
CAUTION: If you have any questions or concerns regarding the
mounting of your speaker, contact a professional installer or the
speaker manufacturer as necessary.
The Clamp Assembly

For Speakers With a 3/8”-16 Factory Installed
Threaded Insert
• Insert the ball shaft and rotate it several turns until it is fully
threaded into the threaded female insert on the speaker. When you
“hit bottom” back out the ball shaft one quarter turn (Fig. B).
• Using the 9/16” open wrench or crescent
wrench, firmly tighten the jam nut, but
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
• When the ball shaft resists moderate rotational
force and forms a solid joint with the
speaker, stop tightening.
• Pick up the extra jam nut. Position it so
that the circular part of the nut faces the
end of the ball shaft protruding from the bottom of the mounting plate.
Thread the nut onto the shaft a few turns only—until the top of the
nut is even with the end of the ball shaft. (Fig. C)

For Wood Speakers with NO Threaded Inserts
• Pick up the extra jam nut. Position it so that the circular part of
the nut faces the end of the ball shaft protruding from the bottom
of the mounting plate. Thread the nut onto the shaft a few turns
only—until the top of the nut is even with the end of the ball shaft.
• Place the mounting plate on a flat surface and pull up on the ball
shaft. Screw the top jam nut down against the top of the
mounting plate. (Fig. E)
The Ball Shaft
The ball shaft attaches to the
speaker in the following ways.
OPTION I— threads directly into the 3/8”-16 factory installed
threaded insert on the speaker
OPTION II– when mounting plate is necessary to access threaded
inserts, the ball shaft attaches to the plate
OPTION III– wood speakers with no threaded inserts, the ball shaft
attaches to the mounting plate which is attached to speaker with
screws.
Determine which format is
needed for your speaker:

For Speakers That Require a Mounting
Plate to AccessThreaded Inserts
• You must affix the mounting plate to the ball shaft before
attaching the mounting plate to the speaker:
• Pick up the ball shaft and mounting plate. Insert the threaded end
of the ball shaft into the top of the mounting plate until it butts up
against the bottom of the jam nut.
• Place the mounting plate on a flat surface and pull up on the ball
shaft. Screw the top jam nut down against the top of the mounting
plate.
• Attach the mounting plate to the speaker by placing the slotted holes
over the threaded insertsand tightening the screws. (Fig. D)
• Using the 9/16” open end wrench or small crescent wrench, tighten
the jam nut securely against the top of the mounting plate.
• You must affix the mounting plate to the ball shaft before attaching
the mounting plate to the speaker:
• Pick up the ball shaft and mounting plate. Insert the threaded end
of the ball shaft into the top of the mounting plate until it butts up
against the bottom of the jam nut.

For Wood Speakers with NO Threaded Inserts
NOTE: When no threaded inserts for mounting
purposes have been provided by the speaker manu-
facturer, a speaker can still be safely mounted on the
wall or ceiling. But you have to be sure that it is put
together with materials strong enough to support its
own weight with the #14 course thread screws
provided. Most compact speakers are made well
enough and use adequate materials thick enough for
mounting with an OmniMount assembly. The #14
screws should not be used in Masonite®, thin panel
wood or plastic. Such materials will likely require
different fastening hardware and methods and
possible reinforcement to be mounted safely. If your
evaluation raises any questions about the speaker’s
construction or material strength, contact your dealer
or the speaker manufacturer and ASK QUESTIONS.
• 20.0 Wall Mount— To mount on a wall, the
mounting plate will be affixed to the back of the
speaker. If you are mounting on a side wall, the
mounting plate will be affixed to the side of the
speaker. The 20.0 straight ball shaft can also be used
for a ceiling application by affixing the mounting
plate to the top of the speaker.
• 20.0 Ceiling Mount— To mount to the ceiling, the
mounting plate will be affixed to the back of the
speaker. The 20.0 bent ball shaft can also be used for
a wall application by affixing the mounting plate to
the top or bottom of the speaker.
