Placement Options

The MCS 100 satellites and center channel are easily placed on a tabletop or wall-mounted. The speakers are configured for tabletop use when you first unpack the system. The foot installed on the rear of the speaker will keep it upright.

The MCS 100 satellites and center channel 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 your speakers. Remove the thumbscrew from the back of the foot. It is slotted for easy removal with a screwdriver or a coin.

The keyhole mounting option is similar to hanging a picture frame on a wall. Install a #8 screw (not included) into the sheetrock, making sure to go into a stud, and hang the speaker onto the screw head. If a stud is not available, a sheetrock anchor should be used to support the weight of the speaker. It is advisable to connect the speaker wire prior to wall-mounting.

NOTE: Because there are so many different 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 mounting bracket 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.
