Protect Your Investment

• Use an amp that approximately matches the speaker's specified power handling.

• To avoid damage, turn down the volume if the speaker sounds like it is distorting, sounds

harsh, or the bass begins to break up.

• Tone controls and equalizers may increase the likelihood of distortion, especially at high vol-

umes. Use these settings sparingly.

Break-In

When you first begin to play your speakers, they will sound a bit bass shy. This is due to the high

quality, long-life components used in the drivers. Allow approximately 72 hours of break-in at

90dB (moderate listening levels) before any critical listening.

General Speaker Placement

Choosing a Mounting Location

Install the speakers between wall studs or ceiling joists being careful to avoid electrical wires

behind the wall's surface. Please note, MC6-HT should only be used in-ceiling.

Wall Rigidity Results in Better Sound

Increasing the rigidity of your walls may improve sonic performance. To do this consider adding

cross bracing inside of the wall approximately 12-inch (30cm) above and below the speaker.

Achieving Superior Imaging

These MartinLogan in-wall and in-ceiling speakers offer superb imaging and flexible placement in

nearly any location. However, for best performance and imaging place speakers equidistant from

the primary listening position and avoid physical obstructions between the speaker and primary

listening position.

Balancing Hard vs. Soft Surfaces Improves High- and Mid-Frequency Performance

Rooms that are “over damped” with carpeting, drapes, and other sound absorbers can cause

your system to sound dull and lifeless. On the other hand, rooms can have so many hard surfaces

that the system sounds like a gymnasium. Experiment by adding or removing soft surfaces until you

find a mix that sounds good to you.

Balancing Bass Output

Corner placement of these speakers will reinforce their bass output. If you require balanced output

across the entire audio spectrum avoid mounting these speakers in a corner.

When choosing placement follow these simple recommendations. Keep in mind these are just

recommendations and your unique installation requirements may dictate otherwise:

• Place a minimum of 12-inches (30cm) from any wall corner.

• Place fronts/centers equidistant between 10–14 feet (3–4.3m) from the listening position.

• MC4, MC6, MC6-HT, and MC8: Install in-ceiling only.

Placement Options (All Models)

The Motion series architectural speakers feature MartinLogan’s Folded Motion Tweeter or

FMT. This unique thin film tweeter features a controlled dispersion pattern of 80° by 80°. This

controlled “cone of sound” can be extremely useful in avoiding sound reflections in the room

which would otherwise result in diminished sound quality. For optimal results, attention should

be paid to the mounting location to help ensure that the primary listening area is within the dis-

persion pattern of the tweeter. Keep in mind, the farther away the listener is from the speaker,

the wider the coverage area of the tweeter becomes. Because of the uniform dispersion of

the FMT, the dispersion of Motion In-wall speakers remains the same whether the speaker is

mounted horizontally or vertically. Controlled Dispersion is a tool to help deliver better sound

quality where it actually matters, your ears! The dispersion of the FMT can be used to help

eliminate unwanted sound reflections or help reduce unwanted “sound leakage” into other

areas of the home, especially in open floor plans.

Stereo and Home Theater Applications (no illustration)

MartinLogan Motion series in-wall and in-ceiling speakers are ideal for 2-channel stereo and

multi-channel home theater installations. The guidelines from the previous section apply to both

in-wall and in-ceiling speakers.

Multiple Speakers, Distributed Audio (Fig. 1a)

In larger areas (offices, etc.) multiple speakers may be used to eliminate the sound imbalances

that occur with separate stereo speakers as people move around the room, or are seated closer

to one speaker than the other. Position speakers to achieve the broadest sound coverage in the

main listening area. The angled MC6-HT can be useful to help aim and focus sound towards an

area you are trying to cover.

Placement Options (Aimable MC6-HT Speaker)

MC6-HT speakers are optimized for use in rooms with ceiling heights ranging from 8–9 feet (2.4–

2.74m). Point the tweeter toward the primary listening position. For overall clarity and balanced

bass performance, these speakers should be mounted in the ceiling 12 inches (30 cm) or more

from the wall, as shown in Figs. 2a to 4a.

Front Channel Placement (Fig. 2a & 2b)

Follow the general guidelines for speaker placement provided at the beginning of the main section

keeping in mind the distance from the front speakers to your primary listening area should be

10–14 feet (3–4.3m), as shown. Point the drivers toward the primary listening position.

Non-Direct Radiating Surround/Rear Placement (Fig. 3a-3c)

These speakers are also ideal for use as surround or surround back channels. Aiming the speaker

so sound bounces off the walls creates an enveloping, reverberant sound field. Keep in mind that

speakers should be mounted 12 inches (30 cm) or more from the wall.

• 5.1-Channel Surround Placement (Fig. 3a): Position one speaker on either side of the listening

area, with drivers pointed toward the side walls.

• 6.1-Channel Rear Placement (Fig. 3b): Begin with ‘5.1-Channel Surround Placement’ (above).

Center one speaker behind the listening area with drivers pointed toward the back wall.

• 7.1-Channel Rear Placement (Fig. 3c): Begin with ‘5.1-Channel Surround Placement’ (above).

Position another pair of MC6-HT speakers behind the listening area, one slightly to the right,

the other slightly to the left, with drivers pointed to the back of the room as shown.

Direct Radiating Surround/Rear Center Placement (Fig. 3d & 4a)

The MC6-HT may be used as direct-radiating speakers, positioned with drivers pointed toward the

listening area. Use Fig.3d or 4a as a guide to positioning as you experiment to achieve optimal

surround sound in your room.

Motion LCR Model Placement (no illustration)

The MW4-LCR is a true Left, Center, Right (“LCR”) model that can be used for any in-wall position

in a stereo or home theater setup. This model is designed to mount either vertically or horizontally

as desired or otherwise dictated by your unique installation.

Connection

Connect the red (+) amplifier terminal to the red (+) speaker terminal. Connect the black (-)

amplifier terminal to the black (-) speaker terminal.

Installation

NOTE: These instructions assume the mounting surface is of standard wood frame and standard

sheet rock construction. If you wish to mount the speakers to another type of material, you should

contact a bonded contractor.

NOTE: See your local dealer for new construction pre-install brackets, square grilles (in-ceiling

models only) and back boxes (in-ceiling models only) (accessories sold separately).

NOTE: While it is possible to use a manual screwdriver for installation, we strongly suggest using a

power drill. To avoid damaging or breaking the clamps, set your drill to a HIGH SPEED but LOW

TORQUE setting. A high power setting is NOT necessary and may cause clamps to crack or break

from the added force.

Such damage is not covered under warranty.

WARNING! Before installing check local building codes to verify compliance

with local regulations. WARNING! Before installing check for obstructions behind

drywall. To do this make a small hole, cutting at a 45° angle (this will make the

hole easier to patch if obstructions are found). Only cut out the mounting hole after

you have verified there are no obstructions behind the dry wall. WARNING! Use

only speaker cable that is rated for in-wall use. The UL standard is CL2, CL3, and

CM. The CSA standard is FT4. WARNING! Turn your amplifier off before making

or breaking any signal connections.

NOTE: Retrofit Back Boxes are available for all in-ceiling Motion series speakers. These back

boxes reduce sound from “leaking” into the area above where the speaker is installed. For exam-

ple, if building a home theater downstairs and there are living spaces directly above where the

speakers are installed it may be desirable to use these back boxes to help contain the sound so it

does not cause any disturbance to those above the speakers.

Recommended tools:

• Stud finder

• Sharp pencil or pen

• Dry wall knife/saw

• Wire strippers

• Power drill

• Tape measure

• Low-tack tape
