SPECIA NOTE FOR MOUNTING THE S-5000 WITH AN M&K WALL BRACKET:

To properly wall mount the S-5000 speaker, you will need to use M&K’s ST-WALL TILT 5000 bracket (instead of the standard ST-Wall Tilt bracket). Due to the weight of the S-5000 speaker, use extreme caution when mounting the speaker to the wall.

DO NOT MOUNT THE SPEAKER TO THE SHEET ROCK OR DRY WALL USING WALL ANCHORS. ALWAYS MOUNT THE SPEAKER TO A STUD.

If you have any questions or concerns abouting moutning the speaker, please contact you local M&K dealer or M&K directly.
