OWNER'S MANUAL

SpeakerCraft highly recommends the use of a qualified custom installation specialist when installing

SPEAKER PLACEMENT — Single Pair
1. Determine Your Primary Listening Area
The area where you will most likely be sitting when
listening to your speakers is your primary listening
area.
2. Decide Distance Apart
Consider how far apart the speakers should be. To
do this, think of your listening area as one tip of a
triangle with each leg of the triangle being equal.
(See Diagram 1)
3. Decide Speaker Height
For optimum performance, the Uni-Pivot (the
module holding the midrange and tweeter) should
be placed at or slightly above the listener's ear level.
For conditions that do not allow the speaker to be
put at the optimum height, please see "SPEAKER
ADJUSTMENTS".
4. Check for Obstructions
Before confirming the placement of your MT8 in-wall speakers, you should
carefully consider the location of studs, fire blocks, electrical, plumbing and other fixtures that
may get in the way. If you are installing the speak-
ers into an existing wall, you can locate obstruc-
tions by noting the placement of wall fixtures and
if possible gaining access to an attic or crawl space
for further analysis. A good stud-finder, found at
any building supply store, will help you determine
where the studs are located in the wall.
If you are installing the optional AcoustaCell
Dampening System with the MT8 speakers, you will
need the following area within the wall cavity free
of obstructions: 44"(H) x 14
