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 volumes. Use these settings sparingly. Break-In When you first begin to play your speakers, they will sound a bit bass shy.
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. • MC4, MC6, MC6-HT, and MC8: Install in-ceiling only. Placement Options (All Models) The Motion series architectural speakers feature MartinLogan’s Folded Motion Tweeter or FMT.
Front Channel Placement (Fig. 2a & 2b) 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 (Fig. 3a-3c) These speakers are also ideal for use as surround or surround back channels.
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.
Speaker Installation and Connection (pictorial) NOTE: If the clamps are not set to the right position, use a screwdriver to turn the screws counter-clockwise until the clamps are in the correct position. ✘ ✔ Fig. 5a Fig. 5b Fig. 5c Fig. 5d 10 Fig.

Frequently Asked Questions How do I clean my speakers? Use a dust free cloth or a soft brush to remove the dust from your speakers. Do not spray any kind of cleaning agent on or in close proximity to the drivers. What size amplifier should I use? We recommend an amplifier rated within the suitable amplifier range of your speaker.
