INTRODUCTION

About the MP52 Multi Purpose Speaker

The MTX MP52 may be the most comprehensive

loudspeaker design ever conceived. The unparalleled

application flexibility afforded by this design gives you the

freedom to listen to music almost anywhere and in just

about any possible configuration.

Features

•1” PEF Dome Tweeter

Extended high frequency response and well controlled off

axis response are achieved by using a hot pressed high

performance PEF dome tweeter. This particular design

offers the “sweet” sound of a soft dome tweeter while

incorporating durable, weather resistant materials. The

tweeter is also magnetically shielded to minimize color

distortion of your TV when used as a home theater system

center channel or front main speaker.

•Dual 5” Woofers

The mineral filled polypropylene cones and butyl rubber

surrounds of the MP52 are combined with a computer

optimized magnetically shielded motor structure and long

wind voice coils to provide extended low bass response.

The MTM design allows the dual woofers to mesh perfectly

with the dome tweeter to provide excellent frequency

response characteristics, both on and off axis, across the

majority of the audible frequency spectrum.

•Weather Resistant Design

All of the material used in the construction of the Model

MP52 were chosen for their environmental stability as well

as their sonic characteristics.

HOME THEATER

Left/Center/Right Front Speaker Height

One of the most Important parameters for the

left/center/right/front speakers in a home theater system is

height. Figure 2 shows the ideal arrangement of the

speakers in relation to the viewing screen: all three

speakers are aligned on the same horizontal plane. This

establishes a firm image height when special audio effects

are panned from one side to the other, such as a speeding

car moving across the screen. When a large discontinuity

occurs between the heights of the center front channel and

the left/right front speakers, as depicted in Figure 3, the

visual image of the moving object becomes confused and

somewhat unnatural due to shifts in image height.

CENTER CHANNEL

Remove the B-Type end caps, brass thumb screws, and

aluminum mounting bracket. Replace the brass thumb

screws in each end of the cabinet and snap A-Type end

caps into place. Then simply place the self adhesive cabinet

feet in the appropriate locations to protect the MP52 cabinet

and whatever surface that it will sit on.

HOME THEATER

Typical Loudspeaker Placement

Figure 1 illustrates the most generally accepted speaker

locations for a home theater system. Although there are an

infinite number of set up options using Figure 1 as a

template will certainly provide a great starting point.

Experimentation with slightly different speaker locations may

provide improved performance in your specific listening

environment.

The front left and right speakers should form a 45 degree

triangle using the center seating position as the apex.

The surround speakers should be placed beside the

listening area, and pointed towards each other. It is also

recommended that the speakers be 2-3 feet above the

listeners head.

WIRING

Connecting the Speakers to Your System

Though there are many sizes of speaker wire available.

MTX recommends using 18 gauge or heavier wire to

connect your loudspeakers to your amplifier or receiver.

Before cutting the speaker wire to the proper lengths, be

sure to leave an extra two or three feet of surplus wire, just

in case you have to move the components around. Using a

wire cutter or sharp knife, strip off about half an inch of

insulation from both ends. Twist the exposed wires to make

them easier to insert in the speaker terminals. Make sure

that you unplug your amplifier or receiver before proceeding

any further.

When using the MP52 as a center channel or surround

speaker follow the hook-up directions included with your

surround processor.

It is essential that you connect your two speakers “in

phase”. To do so, first take note of the code used on the

speaker wire to differentiate between the two wires that run

through it.

To wire your speakers in phase, make sure the positive (+)

terminals on the back of your receiver are connected with

the red terminals on the back of your loudspeakers, and the

negative (-) terminals on the receiver are connected with

the black terminals on the speakers (see diagram). Note

that negative (-) terminals on the receiver may also be

marked “common”or “ground”(GND).

Be certain that no stray strands of wire cross from one

terminal to another on either speaker or receiver. This could

result in a damaging short.

FLOOR STAND

Remove the B-Type end caps, brass thumb screws, and

aluminum mounting bracket. Replace the brass thumb

screws in the top of the cabinet and snap an A-Type end

cap into place. Then simply mount the MP52 to the

recommended Studio Tech SN-A stands using a 1/4-20 1”

long hex head bolt. (Not Included)

PAINTING

Carefully remove the spring clip on the back of the grill logo

and remove the logo. Mask the baffle area of the speaker

cabinet out to the grill mounting groove. If you are going to

mount the MP52 using the supplied wall bracket it is best to

also mask off the foam rubber bracket gaskets at the top

and bottom of the speaker cabinet. Almost any type of paint

can be used but best results will be had using a quick

drying enamel or lacquer spray paint. For best results

always follow the paint manufacturers recommendations for

proper application. After painting the cabinet, grill and

applicable end caps allow the paint to dry thoroughly.

GRILL ASSEMBLY

Place the four grill adhesive strips in the groove located at

the outer rim of the baffle. Carefully snap the grill into place

and rotate the logo for proper orientation.

BRACKET MOUNTING

1) Remove the B-Type end caps, brass thumb screws, and

aluminum mounting bracket.

2) Hold the bracket up to the desired mounting surface.

Being careful to leave enough space for tightening the brass

thumb screws and installing the B-Type end caps.

Please Note: Although the speaker can be mounted either

horizontally or vertically, the MTM type of design used in the

MP52 will produce a more evenly distributed sound through

out the listening area if mounted vertically.

3 Use a level or measuring tape to insure that the bracket is

square with its surroundings.

4) Mark the locations of the bracket mounting screw holes.

5) Drill pilot holes (if required) into the mounting surface.

6) Pull the speaker wire through the center hole in the

bracket.

7) Attach the bracket to the mounting surface.

Please Note:

The MP52 weighs approximately 9.5 pounds, use only

hardware that will support this type of load.

8) Slide the MP52 cabinet into the mounting bracket and

secure with the two brass thumb screws.

9) Adjust the MP52 cabinet for the desired angle and

tighten the thumb screws.

10) Attach the B-Type end caps by inserting the cap

mounting tab into the slot in the back of the speaker baffle.

Then snap the cap down onto the brass thumb screws.
