VideoSecu 2 Satellite Speaker Wall Ceiling Mounts Brackets 1EH (Black, 2 Pack)

Logitech decided to remove the key hole wall mounts from their basic surround sound speakers. I guess you could put the satellites on the floor in the middle of the room behind you and put them away (or not) when you're done. Or you could tie them up with string and hang them from a screw. Or you could buy these wall mounts and attach them to the speakers, no fancy electronic wielder required. All you need to do is drill a pilot hole in the back of the speakers, tap it with a 20mm drill tap, and screw the single screw / keyhole mounting bracket on using the 20mm screw you will find in the hardware bag. My installation was a bit different, but based on my experience this should work. If you want to be safe, just use a slightly longer screw than the provided one, and tap the pilot hole with the appropriate drill tap. If you don't have a drill tap, and want to keep this as low budget as possible, you could probably use self tapping screws. Just make sure they are long enough, but not too long. About 1/4 to 1/2 in longer than the provided machine screws should be fine. Since self tapping screws have less threads, you could put slow drying super glue on it to reinforce the hold.Review Score Break DownStaring Score: 3 Stars(All my reviews start at 3 stars.)Quality (+1 Star)These speaker mounts are plastic. They are also under ten dollars. The plastic is actually sturdier than I was expecting, but I would probably go with something else if i was going to mount speakers weighing more than a couple of pounds. However for wall mounting cheap computer speakers, these are perfect.Affixes the Infernal Z-506 Satellite Speakers to Wall (+1 Star)They have been hanging from screws by string for a year, and I was sick of it.Additional NotesI actually took some additional steps in my installation: I filed down the back of the keyhole mounting bracket for a flusher fit. I used a wood shaping file, but you could probably grind it with a Dremel or use coarse sand paper if you're really really bored. When I went to install my second speaker, I attempted to do so without filing the back first as a bit of an experiment. This is how I discovered the included screws were too short, at the cost of stripping the hole. Still, it wasn't a problem. I filed down the second bracket as well, then put some super glue on the screw threads and key hole mounting bracket, as I don't ever intend to take it off.

Isn't it nice when some works out exactly the way it is supposed to? I picked up a pair of Sony bookshelf speakers at a thrift shop months ago and decided it was time to mount them. But I wanted a mounting that was simple, cheap, and effective, took a chance on these satellite speaker mounts and found them to be perfect.The mounts can fit both single screw speakers (like my Sony) and double screw speakers, they can also be set up to be longer (about 5") or shorter (about 3") and come with the screws and hardware to mount to the speaker and to the wall (including dry wall anchors) The mounts also include the Allen wrench necessary to adjust the mounts and permit the speaker to be oriented just about in any direction or attitude.With the help of my cordless screwdriver, I had both speakers mounted nicely on the wall in about 15 minutes. (And that includes looking over the included instructions until I realized that one could actually ignore them.) Now these aren't the most beautiful speaker mounts, and they are plastic so don't try and mount some huge 20-lb speaker. But for mounting small satellite speakers just about anywhere, these will work just fine, and at about $10 the price is just right.

I purchased these with some hesitation based on the mixed reviews, but I did a little research and decided to take the plunge. One other reviewer mentioned cutting out a bit of plastic behind the screws used for tightening the mounts down. Sure enough, we found this to be a great idea. Why is this necessary? Well, each pivot point other than the elbow joint is a simple friction peg, with a hex screw pressing against the peg. The problem lies in the bore of the hex screw - it's not completely hollow. Instead, the bore ends in a thin piece of plastic, preventing you from screwing the hex screw in any farther. In writing this review I just discovered why - I remember on one of the more demanding installations I used these for that I noticed the male peg was caving in a little bit - I had overtightened the hex screw. Still, I would highly recommend removing this bit of plastic at the end of the bore. I used a thin fillet knife from the kitchen to do it. It wasn't too difficult but my fingers were a little sore after going through 8 of these (I bought a 6 pack and a 2 pack).We used these mounts on 4 Boston Acoustics CS 23 II's, and they worked just fine. These speakers weigh only a couple of pounds each. The other speakers we used them on were far more demanding - a pair of SVS SBS-02's. These weigh in at 12.8 pounds each! I was able to mount these using 2 of the VideoSecu mounts on each speaker, using the extension arm on the upper mount to mount them at an angle. Even these monster speakers didn't bend these mounts. The people reporting sagging, I can only imagine that they installed them on thin drywall or something like that. I found these to be exceptionally sturdy mounts when screwed into a stud.I took off one star for having to remove the plastic from the bore to get a really good friction contact, but other than that these really did impress.

Great fit for my satellite Bose cub speakers. Easy to adjust in multiple ways.

Muy buena opción para cornetas satelitales. Lo recomiendo altamente.
