Speaker Mounts In General: Best Uses and Helpful Tips

Share Facebook Twitter Email

Speakers can be mounted in various positions, including both internally and externally, and positioning the speaker brackets and stands can make a significant difference in how this is accomplished. Contemporary speakers with light and mounting slots included in the enclosure design are relatively simple and can be positioned similar to Ipad mounts or tablet mounts. However, mounting sub-woofers and powered speakers can be more challenging because they commonly have significant weight from either the encasing or internal power amp or both. Although cosmetic appearance or optimum sound delivery is essential, safety can be equally important when mounted externally using wall brackets. The desired result is for all speakers to remain on the mount with minimal drilling into the speaker cabinet. If the speakers are ported and threaded for screws, this can be an easier task. But, there are a few things to remember.

Speaker Mounts In General: Best Uses and Helpful Tips

Setting Mounts in Homes and Offices

The first step is picking the right spot for the speaker mounts to be placed on or in a wall. Always locate the wall studs before beginning and know exactly where the speakers will be positioned, especially if ports must be cut out of the wall. External mounts should be connected to the wall and placed directly in front of the stud with the mounting screws secured as tightly as possible. Speakers that are mounted internally should also have a mounting bracket surrounding the speaker for more security.

Setting Mounts in Vehicles

Mounting speakers and devices in a vehicle can be challenging, and the device mount will often be designed for a specific place, such as an Ipad headrest mount. Safety concerns with vehicle mounts are important as well, especially regarding distraction potential for drivers. The distraction reduction should also be combined with user-friendliness, primarily if a connected headset transmits the sound. Speakers that are being mounted in a vehicle should be placed in the mounting ports designed for the car unless they are already mounted in enclosures and can be positioned obscurely in the vehicle. Choosing speakers that fit the vehicle design is essential because buzzing can occur quickly when prominent speakers are not correctly connected to the mounting brackets. The car can be modified just like setting mounting brackets in buildings, but sometimes the vehicle mounting surface must be modified in some manner, which should be avoided when possible.
