Description
The Mb200 installation kit consists of a
U-bracket, two M8 x 1.25 hex-head bolts,
fourlockwashers,twofrictionpads,andtwo
3/8-24 hex-head bolts (see Chart 1). The kit
is designed to accommodate the System
200TM installation in a variety of ways.
Wall or Ceiling Mounting:
The robust design of the Mb200 installation
bracket allows the System 200TM speakers
to be mounted in almost any position to ob-
tain the desired sound coverage (see Figure
3).
Flying Installations
The Mb200 bracket “captures” the speaker
in a rigid frame which has structurally sound
locations for attaching rigging hardware.
These attachment points are four 12.7-mm
(1/2-in.) diameter holes located on the ends
of the bracket. A 3/8-in.“quick link” (or simi-
lar hardware) can be readily connected to
each attachment point.
System 200TM speakers can be flown indi-
vidually in either a horizontal or vertical po-
sition,or two speakers can be flown together
in a vertical position (see Figures 4 and 5).
System 200TM Horizontal Arrays
Arrays of two to six speakers are securely
supported in a frame comprised of Mb200
and Mb300 brackets. To create a horizontal
array, two Mb200 brackets are simply locked
into the correct alignment position using the
brackets from the Mb300 Horizontal Array
Mb200
And Mb200W
Installation Kit
• Mounting kit for SystemTM 200
speakers
• May be used in conjuction with
OmniMount®Series 100 support
system1
• Versatile design allows the
speaker to be aimed at any angle
from wall or ceiling
• Provides a rigid frame for flying
one or two speakers
• Creates arrays of two to six speak-
ers when used with the Mb300
Horizontal Array Kit
Kit (see Figure 6). The array is extended by
using one additional Mb200 bracket and one
Mb300 kit for each additional speaker. To
complete the circle for a six speaker array,
one additional Mb300 kit is required. Please
refer to Chart 2 to select the exact number of
each kit needed, based on desired array size.
(Note: refer to Mb300 Horizontal Array Kit
engineering data sheet for detailed instruc-
tions on System 200TM horizontal array con-
struction using Mb200 Installation and
Mb300 Horizontal Array Kits.)

Wall Mounting Instructions
CAUTION: Due to the weight of System
200TM speakers, it is imperative that the
Mb200 bracket be properly secured to the
wallorceiling. The choice of fastener(not
provided with this kit) will be determined
by the material and construction of the
mounting surface.
1. Refer to Figure1for the following steps.
2. Remove the paper backing from one of
the friction pads (F) and, making sure the
holesare aligned, attach to the U-bracket (A)
as shown. Attach the second friction pad in
a similar manner.
3. Attach the U-bracket to the wall or ceil-
ing using fasteners (not supplied) that are
suitable for the construction material.
4. Remove the hole plugs from the ends of
the System 200TM speaker by gently prying
with a small screwdriver.
5. Place one of the smaller lock washers
(C) on each of the two M8 bolts (B).
6. Place the speaker into the U-bracket and
finger tighten the M8 bolts.
7. Rotate the speaker so that the input
panel is accessible and attach the wires to
the input panel.
8. Position the speaker for the desired cov-
erage and gently tighten the M8 bolts until
the speaker will no longer rotate. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN.
Note: The 3/8-24 bolts (D) are used to
lock the speaker parallel to the bracket and
prevent it from being rotated. This is needed
when arraying the speaker for proper align-
ment and when flying in the vertical posi-
tion.
