Introduction

Boston Acoustics Multi-Channel Solution

Thank you for choosing a Boston Acoustics Multi-Channel Solution speaker. These speakers incorporate high-quality components that produce the famous Boston sound. They are ideally suited for use in a 5.1 channel high-quality home theater or music system.

The MCS series speakers deliver exceptionally articulate on-screen dialog, music, effects, and room filling bass from a small, sleek package. Compact driver placement and quality, system specific crossovers ensure wide, uniform sound dispersion for complete coverage of a listening room. All speakers also feature MagnaGuard® magnetic shielding which ensures the speaker’s magnetic field does not interfere with the televisions picture.

Placement Options

The MCS 100 Satellite, MCS 130 Surround and MCS 130 LCR speakers are easily placed on a shelf or wall-mounted. The speakers are configured for shelf use when you fi rst unpack them. The MCS 130 LCR will have one foot installed that will keep it level when used in the vertical position. An extra foot and thumb screw is

provided with the MCS 130 LCR so it can be adapted for horizontal use as a center channel speaker. The illustration shows how to reposition the foot, and

install the other.

There are 2 sets of holes on the feet of the MCS 130

Surround and LCR speakers. By using the upper of the two holes, the speakers will have a slight forward angle for use on a high shelf. The foot on the MCS 100 Satellite speaker has only one screw hole and so does not offer the forward tilt option.

for normal speaker position; use the upper screw hole to tilt the speaker forward

Rubber

Bumper

The MCS 100 Satellite, MCS130 Surround and LCR speakers are designed to easily mount on the wall using the keyhole slot(s) on the back of the speaker. When mounting the speakers to the wall, use the supplied rubber bumpers. You must remove the attached foot to wall mount the speaker. Remove the thumbscrew from the back of the foot. It is slotted for easy removal with a screwdriver or a coin.

NOTE: Because there are so many different kinds of surfaces on which the speakers could be mounted. There is no one type of fastener that we could supply that would work in all the possible situations. So taking into account the surface the speaker is being mounted on, acquire the appropriate type of fasteners. If you’re not sure what type of fastener to use, take the speaker to a friendly hardware store, tell them about the wall you’re mounting the speaker on, and ask them to recommend an appropriate fastener. Keep in mind the weight of the speaker.
