Mr_Larry Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 I am setting up a new 2-channel system for my parents in their large living room. They do not want floor standing speakers. After a great deal of research I came to the conclusion that the Klipsch RB-35 speakers would be good for the application. I listened to them and I love them. I want to mount the speakers from a 12" x 4" beam that runs horizontally across the room under the ceiling. These speakers are pretty heavy at 24 pounds. Has anyone done this? I'm currently looking at the OmniMount 60.0 as seen at: http://www.mountsandmore.com/prods/OmniMount/60.0-WA-Series/Omnimount/0C218/0POM0024.htm I'm aware there is a 30 pound version, but I'd prefer to get the next size up for additional security. Does anyone know if the RB-35 has a threaded insert mounting option, or is it only a keyhole mount? I have run across conflicting information. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Larry Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 Doesn't anyone here own the RB-35s? Can you tell me what mounting options are present on the back of the speaker? I'm getting conflicting info from the specs listed on the Klipsch website. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholtl Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Darn, I used to have them but I sold them a while ago and never did pay attention to their mounting options. Sit tight though, it's still early in the morning and someone will chime in eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 I'll try to remember to look for you tonight when I get home. Off the top of my head I don't recall a keyhole (or insert) on the back. Mine are on a shelf so I didn't really pay that much attention. Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 I checked mine this morning. There is a single keyhole right above the opening where the speaker wires hook up. Hope this helps. Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Larry Posted November 17, 2004 Author Share Posted November 17, 2004 Thanks Carl. That's what I was afraid of. Some of the literature says there is both a threaded insert and a keyhole, but other literature says it is just a keyhole. Now If I can determine which mounting hardware would work best.

CECAA850 Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 I may need to look one more time. I'm certain of the keyhole, but when you said that they may have both, I did not look in the keyhole to see if there were threads. There are no threaded inserts visible on the back of the speaker, but I did not look that closely inside the keyhole. I'll climb back up the bookcase tonight and get back with you.

CECAA850 Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Larry, once again I made the trip to the top of the bookcase. There IS a threadded insert in the round portion of the keyhole, recessed (naturally). Good luck mounting your speakers, Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
