ADAPTIVE TECHNOLOGIES MM-016-BT Adjustable Speaker Wall Mount Installation Guide

ADAPTIVE TECHNOLOGIES MM-016-BT Adjustable Speaker Wall Mount

Product Information

The MultiMount MM-016-BT is an adjustable wall mount designed to securely mount and aim loudspeakers weighing up to 25 lbs./13 kg. It features independent pan and tilt capabilities, allowing for precise and quick aiming of sound. The versatile adapter plate accommodates most speaker manufacturers’ mounting hole patterns. Note to installers: Due to the wide variety of wall structures, materials, and mounting methods, it is important to exercise proper judgment in selecting the mounting area and hardware. The installation should be capable of supporting 5 to 10 times the actual applied load, and a backup safety system such as a safety cable should always be used.

Product Usage Instructions

Step 1: Install wall mounting plate

With Pan Angle Option: Attach the wall mounting plate to the wall with the open center slot towards the ceiling using the appropriate hardware for the wall structure. Refer to Figure 1a for visual guidance.

Without Pan Angle Option: Attach the wall mounting plate to the wall with the open center slot towards the floor using the appropriate hardware for the wall structure. Refer to Figure 1b for visual guidance.

Step 2: Select speaker orientation

Vertical Orientation: Attach the speaker adapter plate assembly to the appropriate mounting holes of the speaker using the manufacturer’s suggested screws and washers. Tighten the screws permanently. Refer to Figure 2 for visual guidance.

Horizontal Orientation

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. Also, always use a backup 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.

• 1 pc Wall mounting plate
• 1 pc Speaker adapter plate assembly
• 1 pc Hardware kit
• 1 pc Instruction sheet

Note: Screws and washers to attach the speaker to the adapter plate are not included

Install wall mounting plate

Step 1: With Pan Angle Option

• To enable the pan angle option, attach the wall mounting plate to the wall with the open center slot towards the ceiling using the appropriate hardware for the wall structure (Figure 1a).

Step 1: Without the pan angle option

• To disable the pan angle option, attach the wall mounting plate to the wall with the open center slot towards the floor using the appropriate hardware for the wall structure (Figure 1b).

Select speaker orientation

Step 2: Vertical Orientation

• Attach the speaker adapter plate assembly to the appropriate mounting holes of the speaker using the manufacturer’s suggested screws and washers. Tighten screws permanently (Figure 2).

Step 2: Horizontal Orientation

• Detach the two socket head screws of the adapter plate from the support arm using a 3/16” Allen hex wrench (Figure 5), Re-attach the support arm to the shorter tabs of the adapter plate with the included star washer and socket screws. Place the star washers in between the pivot rod and the tab of the adapter plate. The sharp edges of the star washer must face the tab of the adapter plate (Figure 3a). Do not tighten yet.

• Attach the speaker adapter plate to the appropriate mounting holes of the speaker using the manufacturer’s suggested screws and washers. Tighten screws permanently (Figure 3b).

Step 3: Lift the assembled speaker with the support arm and insert the support arm into the top of the wall mounting plate. Line up the threaded hole of the support arm with the open slot for pan angle installation (Figure 1a) or to the second barrel hole for no pan angle installation (Figure 1b) of the wall mounting plate. Install the included socket screw and flat washer until snug.

Step 4: Pan Angle Adjustment
Loosen socket screw–do not remove (Figure 4b). Rotate the speaker horizontally until the speaker is aimed into the desired direction then tighten the socket screw at the mounting plate permanently (Figure 4a and 4b).

Step 5. Tilt Angle Adjustment

• Loosen socket tilt screw–do not remove (Figure 5). Tilt the speaker to the desired tilt angle then retighten the side socket tilt screws of the speaker adapter plate. Be sure that the screws have been tightened permanently before releasing the weight of the speaker. If the tilt angle needs to be adjusted, do not pull on the speaker, rather repeat step 5.

Step 6. Recommendation–Install Safety Cable

• Attach a safety cable (sold separately) to the mounting surface (Must be able to support at least five times the weight of the speaker), then attach the other end of the safety cable to the speaker. If no attachment is provided on the speaker, consult the speaker manufacturer for advice on the best attachment point and method.

ALWAYS INSTALL SAFETY CABLES

WARNING: Mounting and/or suspension loudspeakers requires experienced professionals. Improperly installed loudspeakers can result in property damage, personal injury, and/or liability to the installing contractor.
