MM-016-BT Adjustable Speaker Wall Mount
Product Information
The MultiMount MM-016-BT is an adjustable wall mount designed to
securely mount and aim loudspeakers weighing up to 25lbs./13 kg. It
features independent pan and tilt capabilities, allowing for
precise and quick aiming of sound. The versatile adapter plate
accommodates most speaker manufacturer’s mounting hole
patterns.
Note to installers: Due to the wide variety of wall structures,
materials, and mounting methods, it is important to exercise proper
judgment in selecting the mounting area and hardware. The
installation should be capable of supporting 5 to 10 times the
actual applied load, and a back-up safety system such as a safety
cable should always be used.
