Installation

The XRT29 High Frequency Column requires two or more

persons to safely handle the Column during assembly and

placement. Follow the instructions below for unpacking

and assembly. It is recommended that the Professionals at

your McIntosh Dealer, who are skilled in all aspects of in-

stallation and operation, install the XRT29 Loudspeaker

System and any associated audio equipment.

Unpacking the High Frequency Column

1. Remove the banding material from the shipping car-

ton. Refer to figure 7.

2. Lift off the top of the

shipping carton and set

it aside.

3. Lift up on the rear of

the Column Loud-

speaker, near the foam

packing material at

both ends. Place the entire assembly (Column, Loud-

speaker Grille and foam packing material) next to the

bottom shipping carton

on a flat surface. Refer

to figure 8.

4. Release the Loud-

speaker Grille from the

packing material by

opening the slit in the

packing material lo-

cated on the top center. Remove the Loudspeaker

Grille from the protective shipping wrap and set it

aside.

5. In a similar manner, lift out the Loudspeaker Column

and set it aside.

6. Replace the shipping carton top onto the shipping car-

ton bottom. Take the two center pieces of the just re-

moved packing material and lay it down flat onto the

top of the shipping carton.

7. Carefully remove the protective shipping bag(s) from

the Loudspeaker Column so as not to mar the Column

Finish or damage the Loudspeaker Drivers.

8. Place the Loudspeaker Column on top of the packing

material located on top of the shipping carton making

sure to align the Column Bottom End (the Glass Name

Plate end) to the end of the shipping carton. Refer to

figure 9.

Assembling the High Frequency Column

The XRT29 may be installed using one of three installation

methods. The first method is using the On-Wall Mounting

Brackets supplied with the XRT29, allowing for surface

mounting on a flat surface such as a wall. The second

method is using the optional McIntosh CK29, In-Wall

Mounting Brackets. The third method is using the optional

McIntosh ST29 Column Base. If the CK29 In-Wall Mount-

ing Brackets or ST29 Column Base installation method is

chosen, then follow the instructions in the Installation

Guide supplied with them at this time instead of the steps

below.

The supplied On-Wall Mounting Brackets allow for

two different mounting positions of the XRT29 Column

relative to the wall. The first position is with the Column

close to and parallel with the wall. The second position

places the Column further away from the wall and allows

for horizontal rotation of ± 30 Degrees.

Note: The supplied On-Wall Brackets and hardware are

intended for vertical mounting of the Column, on a

wood studded wall with up to 1 inch (2.54cm) thick wall

covering surface (drywall). If the column is to be

mounted onto other wall construction materials or

positions contact your McIntosh Dealer for additional

information.

9. Decide on which mounting

position will be used for the

column, refer to figure 10 and

using the supplied Allen

Wrench, remove one of the

center screws from both ends

of the Column.

Note: Save the just removed

screws for possible later

use.

10. Attach the Nylon Pivot Pin to one of the L Mounting

Brackets using the short Pivot Pin Screw and Lock

Washer. Refer to figures 11 and 12 for the correct

opening location.

11. Attach the other L Mounting Bracket to the Top of the

Column using the long Pivot Screw and Steel Bushing

into the correct opening, based on the desired mount-

ing position.

12. Determine the Column Mounting Location on the wall

making sure that the Mounting Brackets will be an-

chored to the studs located inside the wall.

13. Referring to figures 11 and 12 install the Mounting

Sleeve on the wall (orient with opening at the top) us-
