Quick answer
The KEF B1 Wall Bracket lets you mount your LSX speaker securely on a wall with integrated cable management and adjustable rotation. Follow the steps below for a safe, clean installation.
Before You Start: Wall Type and Tools
The B1 Wall Bracket is designed for solid walls (brick, concrete, or wood studs). If you have drywall without a stud, you will need appropriate wall anchors rated for the speaker’s weight. The bracket itself weighs about 2 lbs, and the LSX speaker adds roughly 7 lbs, so total load is around 9 lbs. Use a stud finder to locate a stud or choose high-quality toggle bolts for drywall.
B1 Wall Bracket Installation Steps
- 1. Mark the Mounting Holes: Hold the B1 Wall Bracket against the wall at your desired height and use a level to ensure it is straight. Mark the two screw holes through the bracket slots with a pencil. Common mistake: marking holes without checking for studs or using a level, resulting in an uneven mount. Use a stud finder to confirm you are drilling into a stud or use rated anchors for drywall.
- 2. Drill Pilot Holes: Using a drill bit slightly smaller than your wall anchors or screws, drill pilot holes at the marked spots. For studs, use a 3/32-inch bit for the included screws. For drywall with anchors, follow the anchor manufacturer’s drill size. Common mistake: drilling too deep or too shallow, which can strip the screw or fail to hold. Drill only as deep as the screw length (about 1.5 inches) to avoid hitting wires or pipes.
- 3. Attach the Bracket to the Wall: Insert the wall anchors (if needed) and then screw the bracket into the wall using the provided screws. Tighten firmly but do not overtighten—this can deform the bracket or strip the hole. Common mistake: overtightening, which may crack drywall or damage the bracket. Hand-tighten until snug, then give a quarter turn with a screwdriver.
- 4. Prepare the LSX Speaker: Remove the rubber feet from the bottom of the LSX speaker if attached. Then slide the speaker’s mounting plate onto the bracket’s dais until it clicks. The bracket’s integrated cable management lets you route the power and signal cables through the bracket arm before attaching. Common mistake: forgetting to route cables first, requiring disassembly later. Route cables through the bracket channel before clicking the speaker into place.
- 5. Adjust the Angle and Tighten: Rotate the speaker up to 90 degrees left or right, or tilt it downward using the adjustable dais. Once you have the desired angle, tighten the locking screw on the dais to secure the position. Common mistake: not tightening the lock screw fully, causing the speaker to sag over time. Check the angle after tightening; the speaker should not move when gently nudged.
- 6. Final Cable Check and Test: Ensure all cables are neatly tucked into the bracket’s cable management channel and that no cables are pinched or stressed. Power on the speaker and test audio to confirm no interference or looseness. Common mistake: leaving slack cables that hang visibly or get caught on furniture. Use cable ties to secure any excess cable along the bracket arm for a clean look.
