Tough brackets
I hung two surround speakers with this product. Each speaker was around 7 or 8 lbs. Installation was simple. Definitely mount these brackets to your wall studs. I recommend having another person to help hold speaker while tightening the set screws with the (sometimes cumbersome) allen wrench they provide in the parts bag. Use a better tool if you got it.
No problems with this product. Will buy again if i upgrade to 7.1 surround. |  | Reviewed on 2007-09-04
Great product
Used these to mount two Bose speakers outside under the eave to add music to the patio area. Very quick install and the speakers can be positioned to aim in any direction we want. Really, there seems to be no limitation to aiming the speakers. You won't appreciate how important that flexibility is until after you install brackets that don't provide it, especially outdoor speakers where you may want to change the direction depending on the entertaining you are doing. I had been putting off installing the speakers because I wasn't certain how to deal with the slanted surface under the eave. These brackets solved that problem.
I agree with the previous review that the tightening system is a little awkward and could be a bit difficult in a tight corner. But it's a very minor inconvenience. In our application under the eve, it took about a minute to adjust each one. (My guess is that the manufacturer will eventually engineer an easier tightening system.)
Once the mounts are positioned, they stay put. We are on the west side of Denver, near the foothills, and get strong winds from time to time. Since the speakers were installed, we've had winds of 50+ mph and the speakers did not move at all. | | Reviewed on 2007-04-16
Sturdy and flexible, but awkward
These are very heavy duty, well-manufactered mounts, although rated for only 10lbs. They have a wide range of motion, and are relatively easy to install. My only complaints:
1. you have to tighten 4 set screws to lock the position down...this can be awkward in tight spaces (like a corner);
2. the installation instructions are, let us say, minimal; and,
3. the choices for attaching the mount to the speaker itself don't seem well-thought out...or if they are, it isn't obvious because of the lack of instructions.
All that being said, they are a good choice for mounting surround sound speakers, especialy the slighly heavier front ones.
One more caveat: the instructions do say that you need to attach the speaker mounts to a stud, and not in a plaster wall, and I would tend to agree. | |
