Install an Aiphone IX-DV IP Video Door Station on narrow storefront mullions, door frames, or other limited-width mounting surfaces with the Aiphone IX-MB Mounting Bracket.

Designed specifically for the IX-DV surface-mount video door station, the IX-MB provides a wider mounting platform that can overhang the mullion on either side of the entrance. Its aluminum construction, cable-clearance design, external-conduit cutouts, and reversible installation make it a practical solution for commercial aluminum storefronts where the IX-DV cannot mount directly to the available frame surface.

The IX-MB is also TAA compliant, making it suitable for applicable government and institutional projects.

Designed Specifically for the IX-DV

The IX-MB is engineered specifically for use with the:

Aiphone IX-DV Surface-Mount IP Video Door Station

The IX-DV measures approximately:

8-1/16" H × 4-1/2" W

which closely matches the mounting surface provided by the IX-MB.

This allows the bracket to provide a clean finished installation without adding an unnecessarily large adapter plate.

Mullion-Mount Applications

Commercial storefront entrances frequently use narrow aluminum door-frame sections that do not provide enough flat surface for a standard door station.

The IX-MB solves this problem by allowing the IX-DV to extend beyond the edge of the mullion.

Typical applications include:

• Aluminum storefront doors

• Glass entrance systems

• Narrow metal door frames

• Commercial vestibules

• Retail entrances

• Office entrances

• Medical facilities

• Schools

• Corporate campuses

Left- or Right-Side Overhang

The IX-MB can be configured so the station overhangs:

• Left side of the mullion

• Right side of the mullion

This gives the installer flexibility when working around:

• Door swing

• Glass panels

• Existing hardware

• Conduit

• Adjacent walls

• Available wiring pathways

The bracket can therefore be adapted to the specific entrance configuration rather than requiring the IX-DV to sit directly centered on the mullion.

CAT-5e / CAT-6 Cable Clearance

One important benefit of the IX-MB is the additional wiring clearance it provides behind the IX-DV.

IP intercom installations commonly use:

• CAT-5e

• CAT-6

network cable.

These cables should not be sharply folded or excessively bent behind the station.

The IX-MB provides additional clearance to help maintain a more appropriate cable bend radius.

External Conduit Cutouts

The bracket includes wire cutouts that help accommodate installations where the Ethernet or control wiring arrives through:

External Surface-Mounted Conduit

This is particularly useful for retrofit installations where wiring cannot be concealed inside the wall or storefront framing.

Surface Mount to Mullion

The IX-MB can mount directly to an appropriate storefront or door mullion.

Once the bracket is secured, the IX-DV mounts to the front of the IX-MB.

This provides a practical way to install the larger IX-DV station on a narrower frame member.

Mount Over a 1-Gang Box

The IX-MB can also mount over a standard:

1-Gang Electrical Box

This gives installers another wiring and mounting option when an electrical box is already present behind the station location.

Aluminum Construction

The IX-MB is constructed from:

Aluminum

for a lightweight but durable commercial installation.

Because the bracket is used directly behind the IX-DV, most of the mounting plate is concealed once the door station is installed.

No Electrical Components

The IX-MB is strictly a:

Mechanical Mounting Accessory

It contains no:

• Electronics

• Relay contacts

• Network electronics

• PoE components

• Power connections

It does not change the performance or electrical specifications of the IX-DV.

No Programming Required

Because the IX-MB is only a mounting bracket:

No programming is required.

All IX-DV network, intercom, SIP, video, and door-release configuration remains unchanged.

IX-MB vs. IX-DVM

The IX-MB and IX-DVM address narrow entrance installations in different ways.

IX-MB + IX-DV

Uses:

• Standard IX-DV video door station

• Separate mounting bracket

• Bracket can overhang narrow mullion

• Larger station body

• IX-DV retains its two outputs and six inputs

IX-DVM

Uses:

• Dedicated narrow mullion video station

• Only approximately 1-7/8" wide

• Built-in touchless call sensor

• One relay output

• One trigger input

Choose the IX-MB + IX-DV when you want the full IX-DV feature set but need help fitting it to a narrow frame.

Choose the IX-DVM when an ultra-narrow purpose-built mullion station is preferred.

IX-MB vs. SBX-IXDV30

IX-MB

Designed primarily to:

• Adapt IX-DV to narrow mullions

• Allow left/right overhang

• Provide cable clearance

SBX-IXDV30

Designed to:

• Angle the IX-DV approximately 30°

• Aim the station toward visitors

• Support side-mounted or wide entrances

They solve different installation problems.

IX-MB vs. SBX-CON1

IX-MB

Provides:

• Wider mullion mounting surface

• Left/right overhang capability

• Cable clearance

SBX-CON1

Provides:

• Surface enclosure

• Additional wiring volume

• Conduit accommodation

Select the accessory according to the physical entrance requirements.

TAA Compliant

Aiphone identifies the IX-MB as:

TAA Compliant

This can make it suitable for applicable:

• Government facilities

• Federal projects

• Institutional installations

• Public-sector specifications

Always verify the complete project's compliance requirements rather than relying on one accessory alone.

Compatible Door Station

The IX-MB is specifically designed for:

Aiphone IX-DV

It should not automatically be assumed compatible with other Aiphone models such as:

• IX-DVF

• IX-DVM

• IX-EA

• IX-SSA

These stations use different mounting arrangements.

Ideal Applications

• Aluminum storefronts

• Narrow door mullions

• Glass storefront entrances

• Commercial offices

• Retail stores

• Healthcare facilities

• Schools

• Universities

• Government facilities

• Corporate campuses

• Security entrances

• Retrofit IP intercom installations
