How to Attach Bookshelf Speakers to Stands
Bookshelf speakers are compact loudspeakers and are a part of a home theater package. The package includes the TV stand, speaker shelves which are generally a part of a bookshelf to store videos, DVD's and CD's and other media. Proper installation of the speakers into the stands will assure clear sound without compromising quality.
- Open the packaging. Carefully read the manufacturer's instructions before mounting the speaker into the stand.
- Examine the speaker and the speaker stand. You will notice keyholes on the speaker and bolts protruding from the shelf of the speaker stand. The keyholes may be of different sizes, smaller and larger. They are to secure the speaker to the stand.
- Slide the speakers onto the bolts of the speaker stand matching the key holes to the appropriate bolt on the shelf.
- Remove bracket mounts from the packaging.
- Match the bracket mounts by inserting through the bolt then guiding through the thread hole on the back of the speaker.
- Hand tighten the knob on the end of the bolt to secure the speaker to the shelf.
- Examine the top of the speaker. Notice the bolt.
- Attach the bracket to the bolt on the top speaker.
- Hand tighten by twisting the knob clockwise.
- Verify that your speakers are secure. Make sure the bolt is securely fastened to the bracket and the screws threads are not crossed.
- Do not drill new holes or modify the speaker.
- Use tacky glue or other non-invasive method for adding additional support to the speaker if necessary. However, manufacturer mounting equipment is usually more than adequate for securing your speaker.
