alignment of the acoustic axis. The stand can be attached to
three mounting points allowing vertical and symmetrical horizon-

Genelec 8240A, 8250A and 8260A can be fitted to König &
Meyer loudspeaker mounts on two sets of M6x10 mm threaded
holes on the back of the enclosure. On the base of the enclosure
is an M10x10 mm threaded hole (not on the 8260A) which can
be used for securing the loudspeaker to its base. Do not use
this thread for mounting the loudspeaker on a microphone stand
which has a 3/8" UNC thread. A wide variety of ceiling and wall
mounts is available through your Genelec dealer.
