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.
Stereo and Home Theater Applications (no illustration) MartinLogan Motion XT 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.
Motion XT LCR Model Placement (Fig. 3d) The XTW5-LCR and XTW6-LCR are true Left, Center, Right (“LCR”) models that can be used for any in-wall position in a stereo or home theater setup. Both models are designed to mount either vertically or horizontally as desired or otherwise dictated by your unique installation.

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 example, 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.
Painting the Speaker Grille IMPORTANT! Before painting remove grille from speakers. Do not paint the surface of the speaker behind the grille. Do not use a paint roller. Remove the grille from the speaker. Paint the grille, being careful not to plug the holes. For best results use a spray rather than a brush.
