Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater M3 on bracket--OK?

Anybody running an M3Ti on a Full Metal Bracket or similar?

Since it's a rear-ported design I worry about possible effect of mounting on the wall (although in my planned use it would probably be angled inward).

I also assume the M3 has connectivity on the back for bracket use?

it is perfectly acceptable to mount M3's on the FMB's. they will have plenty of clearance from the wall for air movement.

stermarc,

The full metal bracket should provide enough offset from the wall to allow the M3's port to breathe properly. All Axiom bookshelf speakers manufactured in the last year or so have a threaded hole on the back for easy mounting.

The M3Ti will (as any speaker would) get a boost in the bass if it's close to the wall, with a resonance or two ("boomy" sound). Mine are in a top corner, and without a sub were adequate for most music, even in a large room, although the resonances were there if you listened for them. Now that I have a sub, I've raised the x-over to 150Hz and I don't notice any resonances anymore.

Hi stermarc;

The M3 does have a bolt for the bracket already installed, yes.
