Tools Required:

 3/4" and 9/16" wrench/socket, Phillips Screwdriver

Using a hat bracket, the speaker can be mounted on top of a roof, underneath an 

overhang (soffit), or onto a wall. 
Whenever an object is affixed to a wall or ceiling, special care must be taken to ensure it 

is securely mounted and will not fall and cause damage or injury. 
Before beginning, a structural engineer must carefully examine the composition, 

construction and strength of the mounting surface and consider what type of hardware 

and techniques are appropriate. Additional reinforcement may also be necessary. 

1� 

Attach the hat bracket to the mounting surface using the recommended hardware 

listed in 

STEP 1

 in 

DWG-4561669 

(hardware not provided by Daktronics)

. 

Notes: 

•  Use all six (6) connection points. 
•  Mount to a stud, joist, or other structural member rather than only to drywall or 

other non-structural material. 

•  Ensure adequate clearance to rotate and tilt the speaker to the desired angle. 
•  Ensure that any holes drilled and hardware fastened into the mounting surface 

do not interfere with wiring, plumbing, etc. on the opposite side. 

2� 

Attach the mounting yoke to the hat bracket using all three (3) sets of included 1/2" 

hardware. Refer to 

STEP 2

 in 

DWG-4561669

. 

3� 

Rotate the mounting yoke assembly on the hat bracket to point toward the center of 

the seating location, and then firmly tighten all hardware. 

4� 

Lift the speaker up to the same height as the mounting yoke assembly and attach 

using the 3/8" hardware in the sides of the speaker. Refer to 

STEP 3

 in 

DWG-4561669

. 

5� 

Using the DAKTRONICS logo as a guide, aim the speaker vertically toward the center 

of the seating location. The angle can be adjusted in 5° increments. 

6� 

Secure the final vertical position using the adjustment screws in the mounting holes 

located on the sides of the speaker. Refer to in 

DWG-4561929
