5. Tighten the three screws securing the Stabilizer
Bar to keep it in place, but not enough to prevent
changing the angle of the XCS200 in the following
steps.
6. The vertical angle of the XCS200 may be changed
±5.5 Degrees from perpendicular, allowing the
sound to be directed upwards or downwards to
accommodate the seating arrangement in the
room. Refer to figure 4. This can be accomplished
by temporarily loosening the three screws and
moving the Stabilizer Bar up or down. When the
desired angle is achieved, tighten the three screws.
7. Optionally, attach the supplied McIntosh Logo to
the Front of the XCS200 Loudspeaker Grille using
the two spring clips.
8. Proceed to “Room Acoustics and Loudspeaker
Placement” on page 10.
1. Place the Loudspeaker System, with the front fac-
ing down, on top of the protective shipping bag.
2. Attach the four rubber bumpers to the bottom long
edge of the XCS200 Loudspeaker System. Refer
to figure 2.
3. Loosen, but do not remove, the three screws secur-
ing the Stabilizer Bar to the back of the XCS200.
Refer to figure 2.
4. Reposition the Stabilizer Bar even with the previ-
ously applied rubber bumpers on the side edge of
the XCS200 enclosure. Refer to figure 3.
To protect the fine finish of the XCS200 Loudspeaker
System during the installation process, it is advisable
to prepare a suitable area. A freshly vacuumed car-
peted area covered with a soft, clean fabric, such as a
large bed linen or blanket would be suitable.
It is recommended that the Professionals at your
McIntosh Dealer, who are skilled in all aspects of
installation and operation, install the XCS200 Loud-
speaker System and any associated audio equipment.
1. Remove the Loudspeaker System and foam end
caps by lifting up on the rear of the Loudspeaker
and place it along side the shipping carton on a
flat surface.
2. Release the Loudspeaker from the foam end caps
and set it aside.
3. Close the top flaps of the shipping carton and
place the two foam end caps on top of the carton.
Refer to figure 1 for the next several steps.
4. Carefully remove the protective shipping bag from
the Loudspeaker System so as not to mar the fin-
ish or damage the Loudspeaker Grille.
5. Place the just removed protective shipping bag on
top of the shipping carton/foam end caps.
Note: 1. When the XCS200 is to be used with the
supplied Stabilizer Bar and Hardware,
proceed to “Installing the XCS200 using
Stabilizer Bar”.
2. The XCS200 Loudspeaker is also sup-
plied with On Wall Mounting Brackets
and Hardware. If the XCS200 is to be
mounted on the wall at this time, proceed
to “Installing the XCS200 On the Wall” on
page 8.
3. When the optional In-Wall Mounting Kit
is chosen, refer to the installation guide
supplied with the kit.
