USING THE SS-150THX MOUNTING BRACKET

Most users will set the speaker to a single mode for all playback, and we recommend that the choice be made

based upon room conditions.  Still, some users may prefer the Dipole mode for some material and the Tripole mode
for other material.  If you have questions regarding this, please contact your M&K dealer or the M&K factory.

4. INSTALLATION OF YOUR SS-150THX SPEAKERS

Your M&K SS-150

THX

s can be installed in a variety of ways.  Choosing the correct location, however, is important.

READ SECTION 6 (page 7) BEFORE DECIDING WHERE TO INSTALL YOUR SS-150

THX

s.

They can be placed on tall stands (M&K ST series); shelves or bookcases; or more permanently mounted using

brackets or a ceiling suspension system.  To make their installation as easy as possible, we have provided an integral
flush-mount bracket that allows you to install the SS-150

THX

 quickly and securely.  Integral mounting hardware is also

provided for an Omnimount 50 series mounting bracket.  Remember that when the speaker is installed above the
listeners' heads, the tweeter should be at the bottom.

Your SS-150

THX

 speakers have one flush-mount wall bracket attached to each cabinet, mounted on the side that

sits against the side wall.  Also enclosed is a kit consisting of two matching brackets that attach directly to the wall,
as well as all necessary mounting screws and drywall inserts.

In order to use these brackets, see Figure 1 and the enclosed template, and then follow these instructions.  The

initial step is to determine where you will locate your SS-150

THX

s.  See Section 6 (page 7), for guidelines on where

to locate the speakers.  Then, using the template sheet enclosed (which is reproduced below), mark holes on the wall
where the brackets will be permanently mounted.  We strongly recommend that the bracket be mounted into a wall
stud.  This will provide the most secure mounting.  When locating the mounting holes into the stud, first locate its center.

Please use the separate enclosed sheet to mount the speaker to the wall.  The reproduction of the sheet

that appears below is not to scale and is reproduced only for reference.
