Features

Overview: The PinPoint AM30 is constructed of molded glass filled nylon and cast aluminum for low resonance and durability. Suitable for speakers with M3-M5 keyhole fixing or single threaded inserts that require a M4, M5, M6 & UNC-1/4 20 (all bolts and mounting screws included); up to 8 lbs. Each bracket is supplied with a special offset adapter with curved face designed especially for small cube style speakers including BOSE single and dual mini speakers. Adapter can be removed for mounting traditional home theater speakers that require a single 1/4-20" thread increasing it mounting options. A low profile design keeps speaker close to the wall (3.5") yet still provides a 90° swivel (left & right) and tilts up and down 20°. Unique 2 piece design allows for easy installation and adjustment. Speaker wire can be passed through the body of the mount from the bottom or back for clean clutter free appearance.

Note: The AM30 is sold individually as a single speaker bracket; not in pairs. The AM30 is available in the following finishes - Black or White.

Speaker Mounts: The bracket works with the following types of satellite speaker mounts:

• Single Threaded Insert (M4-M6): If the speaker has a single threaded insert, one of the supplied screws (M4 x 12mm, M5 x 12mm, or M6 x 12mm) can be used to attach the speaker to the bracket using the single point adapter.
• Single Threaded Insert (1/4-20"): If the speaker has a single 1/4-20" threaded insert, you must unscrew the single point adapter to expose the 1/4-20" threaded post, which then threads into your speaker's 1/4-20" insert.
• Keyhole Slot: If the speaker has a keyhole slot, you must first loosely attach the M5 threaded screw-cap to the large-head M5 x 12mm screw through the single point adapter. The head of the screw is then inserted into the keyhole slot and tightened to hold the speaker firmly.

Wall Mounting: The speaker bracket's metal mounting plate is first mounted to the wall in a vertical position. There are 2 mounting holes with a screw spacing of 1.625" for the supplied wood screws, plus a raised lip for routing the speaker wire through the wall. Once the metal mounting plate is secured to the wall, the cover plate snaps over the metal mounting plate for a clean and professional look.

Mounting Requirement: It is recommended that the bracket be mounted to a wall stud. If the only location is drywall for wall mounting then it will necessary to use the supplied drywall anchors for a speaker up to 5 lbs. If your speaker is over 5 lbs, it will be necessary to obtain high quality drywall anchors like Buildex E-Z Toggle or toggler Anchor available at most hardware stores in the US.
