yiotta Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I have a new setup coming soon (RB-35/RC3/RS3). I plan to put the RC3 on a shelf just above the television, The RB-35s up above the monitor on both front corners (probably on the top shelf of the entertainment center), and the RS-3 on shelve in upper rear corners of the room. What did you do and how did you mount them? Just sitting loosely on a shelf or bracketed into the wall? Thanks for teaching the noob to Klipsch!

CECAA850 Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 The RS-35's I had were mounted using the keyhole on the back along with a screw in a stud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rplace Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 This is how I did mine. The only thing I wish I did differently was use a new piece of plywood for the rear access door rather then the factory one. http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/thread/563573.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScorpsFan Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I have KSF-S5 surrounds which are similar to yours and are attached to the rear wall about 7 ft. above the floor and 12 in. from the side walls according to the reccomendations from the Klipsch manual. The keyholes work well, but I wanted more ability to adjust them so I used Omnimounts attached to the threaded insert at the rear of the speaker. Here is a link to the manual for your surrounds: http://www.klipsch.com/media/Products/reference_om.pdf , they don't show a corner mounting suggestion. A shelf on the side or rear would work, but an Omnimount or similar gives you an additional method to adjust them up or down firing to suit your room. Best of luck!

yiotta Posted May 2, 2006 Author Share Posted May 2, 2006 What are omnimounts and where can I find them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I mounted my rs7's on the wall w/70lb wall anchors from Home Depot about 4 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dachuckster Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I have RS7s, and I used two 3" screws (I forget the actual size but I used what was recommended) into a 2x6 stud, for each speaker. It was tricky to hang, but they han nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScorpsFan Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Omnimounts are wall and/or ceilling mounted brackets which mate to a ball hinge mounted to the rear of your speaker. (They have various mounts based on your speaker size and weight.) I have used the threaded ones wall mounted with 14 lbs. speakers for over 10 years without any failure. Omnimount now also have keyhole mounts for non-threaded speakers among others, this allows for nearly unlimited up/down and side to side rotation of your speakers to adjust them for your room type. Here is a link to one place which carries them: http://www.mountsandmore.com/Speaker-Mounts-C221.html Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
