Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions M22's L/C/R using brackets

Hello,
Does anyone have experience or has anyone installed M22 L/C/R On Wall speakers using the 'Full Metal'brackets? I was thinking that these would work to help 'toe in' the speakers as needed.

Thx,
Tony

I used to have my M22s mounted on the wall with Full Metal Brackets and they worked perfectly. They are very sturdy and nicely adjustable brackets.

The M22s on-wall are fairly recent. It might be a good idea to call Axiom directly to get a faster answer. Waiting for someone that has an actual M22 on-wall to log-on to the forum might take some time.

I'm not really familiar with how the Onwall Axioms mount, but would it be possible to add a strip of something like 1/4" thick by 1/2" wide rubber foam weatherstripping or similar to the outside flange of the speaker to toe it in?

Personally, I would think that this would defeat an engineering design of mounting them "on the wall". Meaning that it would probably negatively affect the sound quality.

They mount to the T-bracket that supplies power which mounts flush on the wall. They hang on this bracket. There's no way to move it unless you move the bracket also.

That could be true. I'm sure the speaker was designed to include the wall it's mounted on since that theoretically becomes part of the baffle.

re "negatively affecting sound"

Perhaps a mounting plate with toe-in built in then?

As another thought, I really doubt that the on-wall speakers need any toe-in. They seem to have a wide dispersion as it is.

Oops. I kinda missed that on-wall bit.

You need to use the provided brackets to mount the M22 On-wall models because the bracket doubles as the electrical connection.

You can't remove the bracket and have the speaker wire connect to the speaker terminals?

There are no speaker terminals. There are 2 small hangers on the back that hang onto the wall mount.

I suppose you could jerry-rig something and replace the brackets with binding posts, but I think that missed the point of the on-walls. They're meant to be mounted right on the wall. I think they'd look a little silly sitting a couple inches off the wall and toed in.

Tony, it appears to me that if you're willing to mount speakers on brackets a little off the wall that the regular M22 bookshelves should be the choice.
