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.

Tools Required:
3/4" and 9/16" wrench/socket, Phillips Screwdriver
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
in
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
for more information.
7�
Repeat Steps 1-6 for each speaker, up to four total.
