2. Positioning
Speaker Installation
The speaker is primarily designed to be mounted on a dedicated
floor stand, but may be placed on a shelf, although this offers less
flexibility to optimise the speaker's performance. In both cases,
the tweeter should be approximately at ear height.
Note: If using a shelf, ensure that it is strong enough to
properly support the weight and fit the 4 self-adhesive
plastic feet to the underside of the speaker.
The 686 S2 speaker can be mounted on a wall using the bracket
already attached to the back panel. The simplest method is to
use a single screw into the wall and hook the bracket over it, in
which case you should stick one of the supplied plastic stand-offs
close to each of the bottom corners of the back panel to make
the speaker sit parallel to the wall and avoid rattles. Make sure
that the screw, any wall plug and the amount of insertion into the
wall are sufficient to support the weight of the speaker. The slot in
the bracket is 10mm wide, so you may use a woodscrew up to
No. 24. We suggest a minimum size of No.14 or 6mm diameter.
If you wish to angle the speaker to the wall, you may use a third-
party ball joint type bracket attached to the bracket already fixed
to the speaker. You should ensure that the ball-joint bracket is
capable of supporting the weight of the speaker. Your dealer or
local Bowers & Wilkins distributor will be able to advise you on the
selection of appropriate ball-joint brackets.
To attach a ball-joint style mount to a 686 S2 speaker, remove the
bracket from the back panel of the speaker and securely attach
the ball component through the central slot. Reattach the bracket
and ball assembly to the back panel (see above).
Once the ball joint component is attached to the speaker, the
assembly may be connected to the socket component attached
to the wall. Ensure that the Manufacturer's instructions for
attaching the bracket to the wall are followed correctly.
B&W Group Ltd. can accept no liability for any failure of wall
fixings.
