Mirror Image Technology In-Wall Loudspeakers
Congratulations on your purchase of SpeakerCraft "Mirror Image Technology" In-Wall Speakers. Your
speakers are equipped with pivoting dome tweeters, which allow you to direct the sound toward or
away from a listening area, and "Mirror Image Technology" in which the tweeters are mounted in an
asymmetrical offset position to their baffles. This design minimizes diffraction and reflection effects for
better stereo imaging than speakers with conventional center positioned tweeters. SpeakerCraft has a
wide variety of accessories to compliment your Mirror Image Technology In-Wall Speakers. Contact your
dealer or SpeakerCraft direct for more details.
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Before installing your speakers, you should consider the placement carefully,
taking into account the location of electrical, plumbing and other fixtures.
Contact your dealer for assistance if you are not sure of the best location in
your particular room environment.
Placement In Wall: When installing your speakers into the wall, ideal
sound will be achieved when the tweeters are placed at ear level or slightly
higher and the usual listening area is no closer to the wall than the dis-
tance between the speakers themselves. (See Diagram 1) The MT6 series is
designed with the tweeter below the woofer to facilitate optimum imaging.
If the speakers are positioned far away from the primary listening area, adjust
the pivoting tweeters so they are pointed toward the primary listening area.
Note: To avoid possible damage to the pivoting tweeters, read the section entitled
"SPEAKER ADJUSTMENTS" in this manual prior to performing the tweeter adjustment.
MOUNTING SURFACE PREPARATION
New Construction - Unfinished Walls
A New Construction Bracket, SpeakerCraft P/N BKT90601 (available from your dealer), may be installed prior to drywall
application across studs (up to 24" on-center) where a speaker will be located. Insulation material should be in place
prior to installing drywall. After the hole is cut and the drywall is installed, the speakers are then easily installed follow-
ing the instructions for mounting in "Finished Walls". Note: If the speakers are to be mounted more than 24" on-center,
a special "Extra Long Wing", SpeakerCraft P/N WING90226, is available from your dealer.
Finished Walls
Prior to the actual installation of the speakers, it will be necessary to run cables to the speaker locations. See your dealer
for more information about cable installation. After the cable has been properly installed, you are ready to mount the
speakers. Following the simple steps listed below will result in a professional looking installation:
1. Determine the best area to mount your speakers. This area of the wall should be free of obstructions such as electri-
cal conduit, HVAC ducts, or water lines. This can best be determined by noting the placement of fixtures and gaining
access to an attic or crawl space for further analysis of the location of such obstacles.
2. Find the studs nearest the desired speaker mounting location. We highly recommend using a good stud-finder tool
for this procedure. If you are lining up the speakers to some other object or molding in the room, make sure you
consider the size of the baffle flange which extends beyond the mounting hole on all four sides.
3. Mark the hole. A template for setting the hole is provided in the box (along with two paint mask inserts for use
when painting). Position the template in the desired position and pencil an outline on the wall.
