SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Single Pair

SpeakerCraft highly recommends the use of a qualified custom installation specialist

when installing your MT8 speakers. If you need assistance in locating a dealer, please

contactSpeakerCraftat1-800-448-0976.

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 Figure 1)

3. Decide Speaker Height

 Foroptimumperformance,theUni-Pivot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” on page 16.

4. Check for Obstructions

 BeforeconfirmingtheplacementofyourMT8in-wallspeakersandAcoustaCell™

system, you should carefully consider the location of studs, fire blocks, electri-

cal, plumbing and other fixtures that may get in the way. If you are installing the

speakers into an existing wall, you can locate obstructions 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 AcoustaCell™Wall Dampening System with the MT8 speak-

ers, you will need the following area within the wall cavity free of obstructions:

44"(H) x 143⁄4"(W) x 33⁄4"(D). In some cases, the space may be too small to fit the

entire AcoustaCell™System into an opening. If you find you don’t have the neces-

sary space, you may reduce the AcoustaCell™size by following the instructions under

“ACOUSTACELL™INSTALLATION” on page 12. Please note that the AcoustaCell™is

designed for installation into standard 2"x4" stud construction. If your installation is

different, please contact your SpeakerCraft dealer for further assistance.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Multiple Speakers for Home Theater

The MT8 Three and MT8 Four speakers can be used in all five channels of a home

theater system: main left and right, center, and rear left and right. (See Figure 2)

1. Placement of Front Channels

Follow the recommendations under speaker placement for “SPEAKER PLACEMENT

—Single Pair” on Page 6.

2. Placement of Center Channel

For best results, a single speaker should be placed close to the screen, usually just

aboveorbelowit.Youmaywishtomountthespeakerhorizontally.TheUni-Pivot

can be pivoted 90˚ so that the tweeter and midrange will maintain their standard

position. (See “SPEAKER ADJUSTMENTS” on page 16) If you are mounting the MT8

horizontally, the longest side down, you will need 20" of clearance left to right to

mount the speaker. Standard 16" on center studs are too narrow.

3. Placement of Rear Channels

There are a number of options for using the MT8 as rear channels in a home

theater. For optimum results, they should be placed behind the listener with the

Uni-Pivotatearlevel.Itisusuallydesirabletodiffusethesoundfromtherear

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Prior to the actual installation of the speakers, it will be necessary to run cables to

the speaker location. See your Authorized SpeakerCraft Dealer for more information

on cable installation. After the cable has been installed, you are ready to mount the

speakers.

Preparation for and mounting of the MT8 Three or MT8 Four and AcoustaCell™

system can happen at two different stages. If you are building a new wall, follow

the directions under “INSTALLATIONPREPARATION—NewConstruction” on page

9. If you are placing the speakers into an existing wall, follow the directions under

“INSTALLATIONPREPARATION—FinsihedWalls” on page 10. There are different

considerations for each application. Please follow the recommendations for your

application carefully.

INSTALLATION PREPARATION

New Construction

When installing the MT8 into a newly built wall, please follow these instructions carefully:

1. Determine Placement

Determine where in the wall the speakers will be placed, using the recommendations

under “SPEAKER PLACEMENT”onpages6-7.Paycarefulattentiontothesectionon

avoiding obstructions.

2. Mount InstaLLock™Bracket

 Forbestresults,mounttheSpeakerCraftInstaLLock™New Construction Bracket for

(See Figure 3)

3. AcoustaCell™Considerations

While mounting the AcoustaCell™system may be done at this time, it is not neces-

sary. The system is designed to mount quickly and easily at the time of final speaker

installation, using the instructions under “ACOUSTACELL™INSTALLATION” on page

12. The AcoustaCell™wingsontheMT8InstaLLock™Bracket will assure that the

AcoustaCell™fits exactly into place. AcoustaCell™should only be mounted at this time

if there is an obstruction that would prevent the proper placement at the time of

final installation.

4. The Location is Ready for Drywall

The bracket provides a stable opening around which the drywall installer can

cut out an opening, providing a perfect location for installation of the MT8 and

AcoustaCell™system. (See Figure 4)

5. Proceed to page 12, “ACOUSTACELL™INSTALLATION”.
