Mounting a bookshelf speaker on the wall
Polk Audo Monitor 30 series weights about 10 pounds each. I got the
Omni-mount at $30 a piece but after I attached them to the wall and secured the speaker to it, I don't think it will hold. The mount is plastic with a lot of connecting pieces held together by allen screws in compression, and a single screw holds the speaker through the key hole in the rear of the speaker. As I adjust the speaker the plastic parts yields a little, I think with the vibration it will not be long before it fails. I was thinking, there is only one keyhole in the rear of the speaker, so it was meant to be mounted with a single screw. I can get more sturdy mounts in the $50 a piece range that looks like a tray but I really want to conceal the mount as much as possible. Why can't I just get a hanger bolt and screws one end into the wood stud and the other end with a cut that holds the speaker and not use any mount? Any suggestions? MC |
