locations for attaching rigging hardware.
Description
The M
200 installation kit consists of a
b
U-bracket, two M8 x 1.25 hex-head bolts,
four lock washers, two friction pads, and two
3
/8-24 hex-head bolts (see Chart 1). The kit
is designed to accommodate the System
TM
200
installation in a variety of ways.
Wall or Ceiling Mounting:
The robust design of the M
bracket allows the System 200
200 installation
b
TM
speakers
to be mounted in almost any position to obtain the desired sound coverage (see Figure
3).

speakers can be flown individually in either a horizontal or vertical position, or two speakers can be flown together
in a vertical position (see Figures 4 and 5).

Horizontal Arrays
Arrays of two to six speakers are securely
supported in a frame comprised of M
and M
300 brackets. T o create a horizontal
b
array, two M
200 brackets are simply locked
b
into the correct alignment position using the
brackets from the M
300 Horizontal Array
b
200
b
Kit (see Figure 6). The array is extended by
using one additional M
M
300 kit for each additional speaker. To
b
200 bracket and one
b
complete the circle for a six speaker array,
one additional M
300 kit is required. Please

refer to Chart 2 to select the exact number of
each kit needed, based on desired array size.

Wall Mounting Instructions
CAUTION: Due to the weight of System
TM
200
speakers, it is imperative that the
M
200 bracket be properly secured to the
b
wall or ceiling. The choice of fastener (not
provided with this kit) will be determined
by the material and construction of the
mounting surface.
1. Refer to Figure 1 for the following steps.
2. Remove the paper backing from one of
the friction pads (F) and, making sure the
holes are aligned, attach to the U-bracket (A)
as shown. Attach the second friction pad in
a similar manner.
3. Attach the U-bracket to the wall or ceil-
Mb200/Mb200W Installation Kit
ing using fasteners (not supplied) that are
suitable for the construction material.
4. Remove the hole plugs from the ends of
the System 200
TM
speaker by gently prying
with a small screwdriver.
5. Place one of the smaller lock washers
(C) on each of the two M8 bolts (B).
6. Place the speaker into the U-bracket and
finger tighten the M8 bolts.
7. Rotate the speaker so that the input
panel is accessible and attach the wires to
the input panel.
8. Position the speaker for the desired coverage and gently tighten the M8 bolts until
the speaker will no longer rotate. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN.
Note: The
3
/8-24 bolts (D) are used to
lock the speaker parallel to the bracket and
prevent it from being rotated. This is needed
when arraying the speaker for proper alignment and when flying in the vertical position.
