2. Bracket limits of use

a. The Brackets are designed to suspend

each corresponding MKC Series &

MKD526 loudspeaker with a design factor

designated on its appropriate bracket

label or exceed most global suspension

regulations. Maximum working load

limits of each bracket can be located on

its appropriately applied label. These

values have been conrmed with Finite

Element Analysis and destructive testing.

b. The weight/mass of each bracket is also listed on its appropriately applied label.

c. Each bracket are designed to suspend only one loudspeaker per bracket.

d. Any geometric or structural modications to the bracket or hardware that is not EAW-

approved will void the warranty and may result in damage, injury, or death.

e. WARNING: Take care when lifting MKC Series or MKD526 products to avoid harm or

damage to product.

f. WARNING: MKC & MKD526 brackets are for suspension of loudspeakers only. Suspension

3. Installation of the brackets to a mounting surface

a. Test t a bracket on an MKC Series or MKD526

loudspeaker to conrm the correct angle, loudspeaker

and bracket orientation before installing the bracket

to the mounting surface.

b. Congurations - Depending on mounting option

used, the MKC Series U-Brackets may be installed

horizontal (back and arms are level/parallel to the

ground - gure 1) or vertical (back and arms are

plumb/perpendicular to the ground - gure 2).

c. Level - The back ange of the brackets must be level when installed to the mounting

surface for either gure 1 or 2 orientation and before installing an MKC Series or MKD526

loudspeaker to the bracket. Any geometric or structural modications to the brackets or

hardware that are not EAW-approved will void the warranty and may result in damage,

injury, or death.

d. Mounting options

NOTE: It is recommended that you consult a building professional for the proper mounting

hardware before mounting the bracket. Due to various construction methods and materials,

the hardware for securing the bracket to the mounting surface is not supplied. It is required

that the use of hardware locking methods, not limited to lock washers, thread-locker, or

nylon-retention feature, be applied when securing the bracket to the mounting surface or

Figure 3 - Each bracket has multiple mounting hole options as shown above

One Ø5/8in (Ø15.9mm) hole (iii)

1. This hole can be used as a ceiling pole mount or a wall wire pass through.

2. If installing any bracket by this hole, a secondary safety point is suggested to be

secured.

Two inner Ø5/16in (Ø8.5mm) holes (ii)

1. These inner holes are spaced apart from each other on center and aligned.

2. These two inner holes may be used to install the bracket to a mounting surface

using load bearing hardware; both holes must be secured.

4. Installation of an MKC Series or MKD526 loudspeaker to a bracket.

a. Choosing a loudspeaker conguration

• Each bracket has an angle lock option.

• The mounting point is always connected using the M10 screw location on the top

• The outermost mounting point "A" is designed as an open slot to allow for easy

locating of the loudspeaker and loosely pre-installed hardware when using the

slotted mounting point, the bracket must be installed oriented with the slot

angled upward, opposing the ground.

• Use of the angle lock point is optional. The angle lock point is used for locking

the loudspeaker at a specic set angle.

b. Installing a loudspeaker onto a mounted bracket.

WARNING: Take care when handling and wear PPE gloves to protect from crushing and

impacts with digits, limbs, and/or product.

Note, for weather protected applications (using WP Series Loudspeakers), apply user-

supplied, waterproof, non-hardening, non-locking thread sealant to the threads of

two button head screws (B) & the single socket head screw (F) per the thread sealant’s

instructions. Failure to do so could result in water ingress and damage to the loudspeaker.

• Onto each of two button head screws (B), place a split-lock washer (C) and a at

washer (D).

• Onto each of the socket head screw (F), place a split-lock washer (H) and a at

washer (G).
