The Episode Surroundscape surface mount is designed for effortless and dependable installation of Episode Surroundscape satellite speakers. Crafted from solid aluminum, these mounts ensure robust performance on diverse hard surfaces. These surface mounts offer post-installation efficiency for easy adjustment at any time, enhancing installation flexibility. It allows you to mount the speaker on a vertical or horizontal surface, such as a wall, deck, or fence post. Our Partners have requested a more reliable installation than previous landscape solutions. We've switched to an all-aluminum construction with more strength than previous products to address this. Also, the quick-connect thread allows you to attach the speaker to the mount without having to "screw the speaker on." This prevents twisting of the wire and possible damage to the wire itself. The final aiming of the speaker can be achieved by loosening the quick-connect, aiming the speaker, and then hand-tightening. The wire can pass directly through the mount, or there is a slot in the surface mount for wire to enter from the side.
