Motion XT Series architectural speakers. Contact your dealer for availability.

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, XTC8, and XTC8-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.

• XTC8, and XTC8-HT. Install in-ceiling only.

Placement Options (All Models)

The Motion XT series architectural speakers feature MartinLogan’s highest performance

Folded Motion Tweeter, the FMT XT. In addition to the increased performance capabilities

over our standard size FMT, this unique thin film tweeter features an even further controlled

dispersion pattern of 80° by 30°. This controlled “cone of sound” even further reduces

undesirable acoustic interactions and can be extremely useful in avoiding sound reflections

in the room which would otherwise result in diminished sound quality. For optimal

performance, attention should be paid to the mounting location of the speaker to help

ensure that the primary listening area is within the dispersion 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 unique dispersion of the FMT XT tweeter, the dispersion or

coverage area of Motion XT CI in-wall speakers can be adjusted by positioning the tweeter

either horizontally or vertically. By default the in-wall models ship ready to be installed

with the tweeter in the vertical orientation, providing an 80° Horizontal x 30° Vertical

dispersion pattern. Depending on your unique room layout, seating position, and installation

requirements, the tweeter can be used in either horizontal or vertical orientation to provide

the best coverage for your particular needs. For example, when installing an in-wall speaker

higher up on the wall (well above the seating area height) it may be more beneficial to

orient the tweeter in the “horizontal” position so the dispersion pattern then becomes 30°

Horizontal by 80° Vertical to ensure the primary listening area is within the coverage of

the tweeter. In other words, the FMT XT provides an 80° x 30° dispersion and you can

decide which orientation is more appropriate for your system to provide the best coverage

and performance. The more controlled 30° dispersion side 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. Controlled Dispersion is a tool to help deliver better

sound quality where it actually matters, your ears! So feel free to experiment with both

options to help decide which is the right choice for your installation.

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. The angled XTC8-HT can be useful to help aim and focus sound towards an

area you are trying to cover.

Placement Options (Aimable XTC8-HT Speaker)

XTC8--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. 3a to 3f.

Front Channel Placement (Fig. 3a & 3b)

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

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. 3c): Position one speaker on either side of the listening

area, with drivers pointed toward the side walls.

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

Position another pair of XTC8-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. 3f)

The XTC8-HT may be used as direct-radiating speakers, positioned with drivers pointed toward

the

listening area. Use Fig. 3f as a guide to positioning as you experiment to achieve optimal

surround

sound in your room.

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. The dedicated

midrange driver of the XTW6-LCR does give the speaker an asymmetrical driver layout when

mounted horizontally. This design does not negatively impact the performance of the speaker when

used in this layout, and it should be aligned according to its outer dimensions and not the tweeter

location. When mounting the XTW6-LCR horizontally, it may be necessary to modify or frame out

the stud bay to accommodate the extra width of the speaker. Please consult a licensed contractor

for proper guidance or assistance when installation requires such modifications..

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.

Recommended tools:

• Stud finder

• Sharp pencil or pen

• Dry wall knife/saw

• Wire strippers

• Power drill

• Tape measure

• Low-tack tape
