Frequently Asked Questions - MB200 ELECTRO-VOICE

How do I assemble the MB200 speaker stand?

Extend the tripod base, then pull up the center column and lock with the spring pins. Ensure all legs are fully spread and the stand is stable.

What is the maximum weight capacity of the MB200?

The MB200 can support up to 50 kg (110 lbs) when properly set up. Never exceed this limit.

Is the height adjustable?

Yes, the stand can be adjusted from approximately 1.2 m to 2.0 m in height using the locking pins.

What type of speakers are compatible with the MB200?

Speakers with a 35 mm pole mount (standard M20 thread) are compatible.

How do I secure a speaker to the stand?

Place the speaker's mounting pole onto the stand's top adapter and tighten the clamping knob if provided. Some speakers may require a pin.

Can I use the stand outdoors?

Yes, but ensure the stand is on a firm, level surface. Use sandbags or weights on the base in windy conditions to prevent tipping.

How do I clean and maintain the MB200?

Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly. Periodically check all bolts and pins for tightness. Lubricate moving parts with silicone spray.

Is the stand foldable for transport?

Yes, the legs fold inward and the height can be collapsed. A carry bag is recommended for convenient transport.

Where can I buy spare parts?

Contact an authorized Electro-Voice dealer or service center. Common spare parts include replacement pins, knobs, and rubber feet.

What safety precautions should I follow?

Always set up on a flat surface. Lock all pins. Never exceed the load limit. Do not attach additional weight to the stand. Disassemble when not in use.

Mb200

And Mb200W Installation Kit

• Mounting kit for System ™ 200 speakers
• May be used in conjunction with OmniMount® Series 100 support system ^1
• 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 speakers when used with the M_b 300 Horizontal Array Kit

Description

The M_b 200 installation kit consists of a U-bracket, two M8 x 1.25 hex-head bolts, four lock washers, two friction pads, and two 38 -24 hex-head bolts (see Chart 1). The kit is designed to accommodate the System 200 ^TM installation in a variety of ways.

Wall or Ceiling Mounting:

The robust design of the M_b 200 installation bracket allows the System 200 ^TM speakers to be mounted in almost any position to obtain the desired sound coverage (see Figure 3).

Flying Installations

The M_b 200 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 similar hardware) can be readily connected to each attachment point.

System 200 ^TM speakers can be flown individually in either a horizontal or vertical position, or two speakers can be flown together in a vertical position (see Figures 4 and 5).

System 200 ^TM Horizontal Arrays

Arrays of two to six speakers are securely supported in a frame comprised of M_b200 and M_b300 brackets. To create a horizontal array, two M_b200 brackets are simply locked into the correct alignment position using the brackets from the M_b300 Horizontal Array

Kit (see Figure 6). The array is extended by using one additional M_b 200 bracket and one M_b 300 kit for each additional speaker. To complete the circle for a six speaker array, one additional M_b 300 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 M_b 300 Horizontal Array Kit engineering data sheet for detailed instructions on System 200^TM horizontal array construction using M_b 200 Installation and M_b 300 Horizontal Array Kits.)

Wall Mounting Instructions

CAUTION: Due to the weight of System 200 ^™ speakers, it is imperative that the M _b 200 bracket be properly secured to the wall or ceiling. The choice of fastener (not provided with this kit) will be determined by the material and construction of the mounting surface.

1. Refer to Figure 1 for the following steps.
2. Remove the paper backing from one of the friction pads (F) and, making sure the holes are 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 ceiling using fasteners (not supplied) that are suitable for the construction material.

4. Remove the hole plugs from the ends of the System 200 ^TM 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 coverage 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 alignment and when flying in the vertical position.

Flying Instructions

NOTE: A maximum of two speakers can be suspended together vertically using the M_b 200 installation bracket.

1. Refer to Figure 1 for the following steps.
2. Remove the paper backing from one of the friction pads (F) and, making sure the holes are aligned, attach to the U-bracket (A) as shown. Attach the second friction pad in a similar manner.
3. Remove the hole plugs from the ends of

WARNING:

Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should be attempted only by individuals who have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and regulations of rigging objects overhead. Electro-Voice sanctions suspending the System 200 ^™ speakers only when all current national, federal, state and local regulations are taken into account. When the System 200 ^™ speaker is suspended, Electro-Voice strongly recommends that system be inspected at least once a year. If any sign of weakness is detected, corrective action should be taken immediately.
