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.
