OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Before installation or use, be sure to carefully read all the instructions in this section for correct and safe
operation.
• Be sure to follow all the precautionary instructions in this section, which contain important warnings and/or
cautions regarding safety.
• After reading, keep this manual handy for future reference.
When Installing the Unit
• Install the unit only in a location that can
structurally support the weight of the unit and the
mounting bracket. Doing otherwise may result in
the unit falling down and causing personal injury
and/or property damage.
• When installing the unit in the snowy area, take
appropriate measures to prevent snow from lying
on the unit. If the snow lies on the unit, the unit may
fall, causing personal injuries.
• Do not use other methods than specified to mount
the unit. Extreme force is applied to the unit and
the unit could fall off, possibly resulting in personal
injuries.
• Tighten each nut and bolt securely. Ensure that the
mounting bracket has no loose joints after
installation to prevent accidents that could result in
personal injury.
• Do not mount the unit in locations exposed to
constant vibration. The mounting bracket can be
damaged by excessive vibration, potentially causing
the unit to fall, which could result in personal injury.
When Installing the Unit
• Avoid touching the unit's sharp metal edge to
prevent injury.
When the Unit is in Use
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit as this may
cause it to fall or break which may result in
personal injury and/or property damage. In
addition, the object itself may fall off and cause
injury and/or damage.
• Do not stand or sit on, nor hang down from the unit
as this may cause it to fall down or drop, resulting
in personal injury and/or property damage.
• Have the unit checked periodically by the shop
from where it was purchased. Failure to do so may
result in corrosion or damage to the unit or its
mounting bracket that could cause the unit to fall,
possibly causing personal injury.

5.1.1. Mounting position
Mount the matching transformer MT-200 in the speaker system's rear mounting plate.
5.1.2. Mounting to the rear mounting plate
Mount the MT-200 in either way (A) or (B) as illustrated below.
Note
When mounting it to the outdoor speaker HX-5B-WP or HX-5W-WP, select either way (A) or (B) to keep the
inclination of the MT-200's top surface within 45° from the vertical axis.
Exceeding this angle range could deteriorate the MT-200's water resistant capability.
Tip
For mounting to the indoor speaker HX-5B or HX-5W,
both ways (A) and (B) are allowed.
5.2. Mounting to the HX-7 Series Speaker System
Note
Prepare an optional HY-MT7 Matching Transformer Adapter when mounting the MT-200 to the HX-7 series
speaker.
For mounting method, refer to the installation manual supplied with the HY-MT7.

Step 4. Replace the cover and tighten the screws.
Replace the removed cover and securely
tighten the 2 cover fixing screws.
Note
To ensure the splash-proof capability,
press the cover firmly onto the gasket.
Step 3. Connect to the amplifier and the speaker.
Connect the primary cords to the amplifier and the secondary cords to the speaker.
Notes
• Be sure to use a high-impedance amplifier. If the transformer is connected to a low-impedance
amplifier, sufficient sound volume may not be achieved.
• Take care to ensure correct primary and secondary cord connections. Incorrect connections may
cause damage to the amplifier, matching transformer, and speaker system.
6. CONNECTIONS
Step 1. Remove the cover.
Loosen the 2 cover fixing screws to remove the cover, as indicated
by the arrow.
Step 2. Change the primary connection tap.
The tap of the MT-200 is factory-preset to 167 Ω.
Change the setting as required.
To change the tap, reconnect the primary black cord
according to the table below.
