Thank you for selecting the all weather MultiMount™ MM-008-CM
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
ceiling structures. The MM-008-CM accommodates speakers with both single
and two hole mounting patterns.
Note to installers
Due to the wide variety of wall structures, materials and mounting
methods, these instructions assume that the installing contractor will
exercise proper judgment in selecting the mounting area and hardware.
As a guide, the installation, when complete should be capable of
supporting 5 to 10 times the actual applied load. Always use a back up
safety system such as a safety cable.
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:
2 pcs Ceiling mounting plate
2 pcs Speaker adapter plate
2 pcs Hardware kit (for two sets)
Note: Screws and washers to attach speaker to adapter plate are not included
Step 1: Install Mounting Plate
Predetermine the desired direction of the speaker then install the mounting
plate and support arm using the appropriate hardware for a ceiling mounted
application (Figure 1).
Step 2: Decide on Vertical or Horizontal Speaker Orientation
Horizontal (Figure 2a) or vertical installation (Figure 2b).
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 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.
