I am considering the wall-mount brackets for the Beolab 6000s and am wondering if anyone has experience with them. Mainly I am wondering about how they attach to the wall. I'm trying to plan for spacing and wondering if they need a stud in the wall to screw in to or if they use dry wall anchors?
The speakers seem a bit to heavy to rely just on drywall anchors but I haven't actually seen the mounts in person.
Thanks!
Each bracket fixes with 2 screws/bolts only.
I live in a timber frame bungalow and doubt if drywall anchors would be sufficient for the job and the studs are not quite in the correct place.
I have had a spare pair of 6000's and wall mounting brackets sitting around for 2 years while I try to decide just how to mount them.
A discrete patress could be an idea but.........
Still thinking!!!!
OK I guess no one has used these actually on the wall? 113 views at this moment and not a single person has them mounted wow!
@joeyboygolf, do the brackets have holes that are aligned with each other vertically? I'm wondering because if you mounted them in a stud then that would block the holes for the wires....so, they must be made to go into the drywall if that is the case.
One guy on the forum has actually used them and posted some photos of them. I remember them saying that their decorators used some sort of white plastic faux-wall to hide all the cables, and that there was a B&O logo on the bottom right... I think he was asking for our opinion... what we think about... etc etc...
Does anyone else remember what Im talking about?
Some B&O shops have them wall mounted, King Street perhaps? I can't remember exactly!
I imagine one could tear open the wall and put a brace stud horizontally to mount one of the holes to but I don't really care to break in to my wall.
The stores could of course do that no problem and is probably what they have done...
Just opened the box and out dropped the installation instructions.
The holes are vertically one above the other.
The instructions state that in a drywall system the brackets MUST be fixed directly to a stud.
Use two round headed lag (?) screws 5mm diam which penetrate a minimum 25mm into the stud.
I have fitted a pair for a customer on a partition wall. Managed to get good fixings with quality dry wall fixings(the type that you use a setting tool with).
They look really good on a wall. I now have a pair for my 6000's. Just waiting to rearrange the room to fit them.
I have seen a pair of BL 6000's Mounted on a wall...One either side of a Beovision 8-40 and looked really Smart!
Is the hole/entrance for the speaker wires right below the mounting holes? If so, then how does one get the speaker wires through a stud?!!?!?!
