Unpacking the Speaker
Carefully unpack the speaker. If there is any sign of damage from transit, report it immediately to your dealer and/or delivery
service. Keep the shipping carton and packing materials for future use.
Use the lower screw hole
for normal speaker position;
use the upper screw hole to
tilt the speaker forward
Rubber
Bumper
Rubber Bumpers
Keyhole Mount
There are 2 sets of holes on the feet of the MCS 130
Surround and LCR speakers. By using the upper of the two holes,
the speakers will have a slight forward angle for use on a high shelf.
The foot on the MCS 100 Satellite speaker has only one screw hole
and so does not off er the forward tilt option.
The MCS 100 Satellite, MCS130 Surround and LCR speakers are designed to easily mount
on the wall using the keyhole slot(s) on the back of the speaker. When mounting the
speakers to the wall, use the supplied rubber bumpers. You must remove the attached
foot to wall mount the speaker. Remove the thumbscrew from the back of the foot. It is
slotted for easy removal with a screwdriver or a coin.
NOTE: Because there are so many diff erent kinds of surfaces on which the speakers could be mounted. There is no one type
of fastener that we could supply that would work in all the possible situations. So taking into account the surface the speaker
is being mounted on, acquire the appropriate type of fasteners. If you’re not sure what type of fastener to use, take the
speaker to a friendly hardware store, tell them about the wall you’re mounting the speaker on, and ask them to recommend
an appropriate fastener. Keep in mind the weight of the speaker.

Placement Options
The MCS 100 Satellite, MCS 130 Surround and MCS 130 LCR speakers are easily placed
on a shelf or wall-mounted. The speakers are confi gured for shelf use when you fi rst
unpack them. The MCS 130 LCR will have one foot installed that will keep it level
when used in the vertical position. An extra foot and thumb screw is
provided with the MCS 130 LCR so it can be adapted for
horizontal use as a center channel speaker. The
illustration shows how to reposition the foot, and
install the other.
