Universal Wall and Ceiling Mount Installation Instructions

Thank you for selecting the all weather MultiMount™ MM-008 speaker
mounting kit. This mounting kit contains two speaker mounts that
independently aim and tilt speakers weighing up to 15 lbs/6.8 kg from
most wall and ceiling structures. The MM-008 accommodates speakers
with both single and two hole mounting patterns.

Warning:

Mounting and/or rigging loudspeakers requires experienced
professionals.

property damage, personal injury or liability to the installing
contractor.

To assure a trouble free installation, read through and follow these
instructions carefully before beginning. If you have doubts about the
integrity of the structure you are mounting to or you are not sure about
the proper hardware to use, consult a structural and/or hardware
specialist.

Be sure that all of the following items are included in this kit before proceeding:

Package Contents:

Item #: Qty Description

1. 2 pcs. Surface mounting plate

2. 2 pcs. Support arm

3. 2 pcs. Speaker adapter plate

4. 2 pcs. U shaped rotator bracket

5. 2 pcs. Snap-on cover plate

6. 2 pc. Hardware kit (for two sets)

Note to installing contractor:

Due to the wide variety of wall and ceiling structures, materials and mounting methods,
these instructions assume that the installer will exercise good judgment in selecting the
proper mounting area and hardware.

As a guide, the installation, when complete should be capable of supporting 5 to 10 times
the actual applied load. We recommend the use of a safety cable (sold separately).

Step 1. Install Mounting Plate:
(a) For wall mounting:

Insert the rubber grommet into the larger
hole of the mounting plate with the radius
edge toward the outside. Install the
mounting plate to the wall with the rubber
grommet facing towards the ceiling using
the appropriate hardware for the
application (Figure 1). If in doubt, consult
a local hardware specialist.

(b) For ceiling mounting:
Predetermine the desired direction of the
speaker then install the mounting plate
with the rubber grommet facing the
direction of the speaker. Use the appropriate hardware for a ceiling mounted application (Figure 1).

Step 2: Decide Vertical or Horizontal

Speaker Orientation:

Horizontal (Figure 2A) or vertical installation
(Figure 2B).

For speakers with one mounting hole:

Use the speaker’s mounting screw to install the
adapter’s U-bracket to the speaker (Figure 3A)
then attach the support arm to the U-bracket
using the included 5/16” button head screws
and star washers (Figure 3B).

Important:

The sharp edges of the star washer must

Figure 3A Figure 3B

face the inside surface of the speaker
adapter plate flanges to achieve proper tilt
locking (Figure 3B).

For speakers with two mounting holes.

Insert the legs of the U-bracket through the
desired slots of the speaker adapter plate that puts
the speaker into the desired vertical or horizontal
orientation. Secure parts with the flat head screw
and nylock nut (See Figure 4A and 4B for
horizontal and vertical orientations).

Step 3. Attach adapter plate to speaker:

For vertically oriented speaker installations see
figure 5A. For horizontally oriented
speakers see figure 5B.

If threaded

inserts and/or mounting screws are not
included on the speaker, consult the
speaker manufacturer for proper
mounting procedures.

Attach the speaker adapter plate to the
appropriate mounting holes of the
speaker using the manufacturer’s
suggested screws and washers.
Tighten these fasteners permanently.

Step 4.
Assemble support arm to the speaker
adapter plate by bolting the support arm inside the flanges of
the U-bracket using the 5/16 button head screws and star
washers in between the flanges and the support arm (Figure

6).

Important:

The sharp edges of the star washer must face the inside
surface of the speaker adapter plate flanges to achieve proper
tilt locking (Figure 3B).

Step 5. Install Speaker to Wall/Ceiling Plate:

Lift the speaker and insert the support arm through the
mounting plate’s rubber grommet until it reaches the bottom
flange of the mounting plate (Figure 7). Use glass cleaner as
a lubricant between the grommet and the support arm.
