c. Mounting options
NOTE: It is recommended that you consult a building professional for the proper mounting hardware before mounting the bracket. Due to various construction methods and materials, the hardware for securing the bracket to the mounting surface is not supplied. It is required that the use of hardware locking methods, not limited to lock washers, thread-locker, or nylon- retention feature, be applied when securing the pan and tilt wall bracket to the mounting surface or structure.

b. Configurations – Depending on mounting option used, MKC50 or MKC60 may be installed in a vertical or horizontal orientation with the ability to pan or tilt depending on mounting position of the wall bracket. Using the Link Bracket, it is possible to mount with both pan and tilt ability in either loudspeaker orientation.
Each MKC Series Pan & Tilt wall bracket hole will need to mount to permanant
structure
i. All four mounting holes will need to mount to permanant structure utilizing
approved mounting hardware.
