Securing the MM27 to the stand Vertical. CAUTION: Some MM27s came with M8 mounting inserts. Sound Anchors supplies both 5/16-18 and M8 bolts Test fit to see which inserts your speaker has by inserting a 5/16 bolt with onlyyour fingers (no tools). If the 5/16 bolt does not thread in easily try an M8 bolt. If there is not less than 1/2” between the bolt head and the back of the speaker you will need shorter screws. Shorter screws can be purchased from a good hardware store or you can contact Sound Anchors.
