Installing The Xcs200 On The Wall - McIntosh XCS200 Owner's Manual

Installing the XCS200 on the Wall

The supplied On Wall Mounting Brackets allow for
three different mounting positions of the XCS200
Loudspeaker relative to the wall, both vertical and
horizontal. Two positions are flush mount, with the
Loudspeaker close to and parallel with the wall. The
other position is angle mount, which places the Loud-
speaker further away from the wall and allows for
rotation of ± 30 Degrees. Refer to figure 5.
