Installation

The XRT29 High Frequency Column requires two or more persons to safely handle the Column during assembly and placement. Follow the instructions below for unpacking and assembly. It is recommended that the Professionals at your McIntosh Dealer, who are skilled in all aspects of in- stallation and operation, install the XRT29 Loudspeaker System and any associated audio equipment.

Unpacking the High Frequency Column

1. Remove the banding material from the shipping car- ton. Refer to figure 7.

2. Lift off the top of the shipping carton and set

it aside. 3. Lift up on the rear of

the Column Loud- speaker, near the foam packing material at

both ends. Place the entire assembly (Column, Loud- speaker Grille and foam packing material) next to the bottom shipping carton

on a flat surface. Refer to figure 8.

4. Release the Loud- speaker Grille from the packing material by opening the slit in the

packing material lo-

cated on the top center. Remove the Loudspeaker Grille from the protective shipping wrap and set it aside.

5.In a similar manner, lift out the Loudspeaker Column and set it aside.

6.Replace the shipping carton top onto the shipping car- ton bottom. Take the two center pieces of the just re- moved packing material and lay it down flat onto the top of the shipping carton.

Assembling the High Frequency Column

The XRT29 may be installed using one of three installation methods. The first method is using the On-Wall Mounting Brackets supplied with the XRT29, allowing for surface mounting on a flat surface such as a wall. The second method is using the optional McIntosh CK29, In-Wall Mounting Brackets. The third method is using the optional McIntosh ST29 Column Base. If the CK29 In-Wall Mount- ing Brackets or ST29 Column Base installation method is chosen, then follow the instructions in the Installation Guide supplied with them at this time instead of the steps below.

The supplied On-Wall Mounting Brackets allow for two different mounting positions of the XRT29 Column relative to the wall. The first position is with the Column close to and parallel with the wall. The second position places the Column further away from the wall and allows for horizontal rotation of ± 30 Degrees.

Note: The supplied On-Wall Brackets and hardware are intended for vertical mounting of the Column, on a wood studded wall with up to 1 inch (2.54cm) thick wall covering surface (drywall). If the column is to be mounted onto other wall construction materials or positions contact your McIntosh Dealer for additional information.

9. Decide on which mounting position will be used for the column, refer to figure 10 and using the supplied Allen Wrench, remove one of the center screws from both ends of the Column.

Note: Save the just removed screws for possible later use.

10.Attach the Nylon Pivot Pin to one of the L Mounting Brackets using the short Pivot Pin Screw and Lock Washer. Refer to figures 11 and 12 for the correct opening location.

11.Attach the other L Mounting Bracket to the Top of the Column using the long Pivot Screw and Steel Bushing into the correct opening, based on the desired mount- ing position.

12.Determine the Column Mounting Location on the wall making sure that the Mounting Brackets will be an- chored to the studs located inside the wall.

13.Referring to figures 11 and 12 install the Mounting Sleeve on the wall (orient with opening at the top) us-
