3  Mechanical Installation

A qualified technician must install the speaker(s) and control enclosure. It is the 

customer’s responsibility to ensure that a qualified structural engineer approves the 

mounting structure and any additional attachment hardware. 

A speaker must be installed approximately 12' – 20' (3�7 m – 6�1 m) in the air and no 

farther than 50' (15�2 m) from the center of the seating area for optimal audio coverage� 

Note: 

Daktronics assumes no responsibility for the structure’s integrity. The engineer 

responsible for the attached-to base structure shall evaluate the adequacy 

of their structure to support the gravity loads imparted by the cabinet at each 

attachment point in combination with other associated loading conditions. 

Daktronics assumes no responsibility for system damage or injury resulting from 

installation methods that deviate from attachment details specified on shop 

drawings. Daktronics also assumes no liability for system damage or injury resulting 

from incorrect setup or lifting methods preformed by non-Daktronics employees. 

Speaker Installation

Mechanical installation consists of lifting and mounting the speaker(s) onto an existing 

support structure and then aiming to ensure sound covers the intended listening area. 
Speakers are shipped with a mounting yoke and certain mounting hardware. Using this 

mounting yoke, a speaker can be installed on a pole, wall, or roof. 

Note: 

Speakers should never be installed facing upward. This will void the warranty.

Attaching a speaker to a pole depends on the pole's diameter. The standard kit 

described below is for poles of 4" – 15.5" (102 – 381 mm) in diameter. 

1� 

Using the pole as a guide, attach the included threaded rods to the mounting yoke 

with 1/2" hardware. The rods should be as close to the pole as possible. Refer to 

STEP 

1

 in 

DWG-4306807

. 

2� 

Using the included rear mounting angle and 1/2" hardware, attach the threaded 

rods and mounting yoke to the pole at the appropriate height for the speaker. Refer 

to 

STEP 2

DWG-4306807

. 

3� 

Rotate the mounting yoke assembly horizontally on the pole 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-4306807

. 

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
