Community offers the PMB Series Pole Mount Bracket Kits for mounting small R-Series and small WET Series loudspeakers to poles and columns. These brackets were designed for use with R.25 and R.5 loudspeakers, but can also be used with Community's RMG-200A, W2-218, W2-228, W2-2V8 and W2-2W8 loudspeaker models (*Model W2-2V8 is designed for outdoor under balcony use and is not intended for direct weather exposure). The PMB-1RR bracket is intended for use with a single loudspeaker with vertical down tilt capability.
The bolt-together mounting kit assembly attaches to a pole or column 6" or greater in diameter by using clamps and 3/4" stainless steel banding. Clamps and assembly hardware are included in the mounting kits, with banding sold separately. A U-shaped mounting yoke is already included with the small R-Series and WET Series loudspeakers.
For each PMB-1RR Pole Mount Bracket attached to a pole or column, two stainless steel bands must be used. Community offers part number PMB-BAND for use with the PMB Series mounting kits, which includes 92" of banding, or enough to provide two bands for a 10.75" or smaller diameter pole. Therefore, for poles between 6" and 10.75" in diameter, use one PMB-BAND for bracket. For poles between 10.75" and 25.25" in diameter, use two PMB-BAND per bracket** (**When measuring the diameter of the pole, be sure to measure at the position where the pole mount bracket will be attached. Many poles taper with height). For installations with multiple pole mount requirements or with poles greater than 25.25" in diameter, Community also offers part number BAND100FT which includes 100 feet of stainless steel banding.
In pole mount installations, mounted objects should be secured to the mounting structure with safety cables. When using either the PMB-1RR or PMB-2RR bracket, an additional PMB-1RR bracket can also be mounted above the loudspeaker and bracket assembly, to be utilized as a safety cable attachment point. The PMB-1RR bracket includes safety cable clips for R.25 and R.5 loudspeakers when used for this purpose. Cable clips for RMG-200A and small WET loudspeakers must be devised by the installer. Safety hardware, cabling, shackles and fittings must also be supplied by the installer to meet the needs of the installation.
All parts in the PMB mounting kits are constructed of weather-resistant stainless steel, aluminum or steel with a hot-dipped galvanized finish. The PMB-1RR brackets are suitable for outdoor use.
