9. Installation Examples

caution CAUTION

  • Ask the Yamaha dealer from whom you purchased the speaker for installation and mounting work.

  • To ensure safe operation, perform regular maintenance and inspections. Some fittings may deteriorate over an extended period of time due to wear and/or corrosion.

  • When choosing the installation location, suspension wire, and mounting hardware, make sure they are all strong enough to support the weight of the speaker.

  • Be sure to take precautionary measures using safety wires to prevent the speaker from falling in the event of an installation failure.

  • When attaching the safety wire to the wall, install it higher than the wire’s attachment point on the speaker, with as little slack as possible. If the wire is too long, and the speaker happens to fall, the wire may snap as a result of too much strain.

  • Be sure to use eye bolts that comply with standards and safety regulations in your area.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage or injury caused by insufficient strength of the support structure or improper installation.

9.1. Suspended Installation Using Eye Bolts

When hanging a DXRmk3 series speaker, use the two threaded screw holes on the top panel and one on the rear panel of the speaker (which are sealed with stickers when shipped). Apply threadlocking fluid to commercially-available eye bolts, pass the washer over the bolt threads, and then screw the eye bolts into the holes.
The screw holes on the DXR15mk3 and DXR12mk3 are size M10 (for eye bolts up to 18 mm long), and the screw hole on the DXR10mk3 is size M8 (for eye bolts up to 15 mm long). Be sure to use the two screw holes on the top panel to hang the speaker.
