Placement 

For placement of M&K Sound in wall speakers, please note the following basic 
recommendations for installation.

Defining correct 
placement height 
for M&K speakers in 
stereo or surround 
set-up is essential, 
beginning with 
finding the speak-
er’s acoustic on axis 
point, marked 
between woofers 
and tweeters as 
shown below.

•  For both stereo and surround front speakers the system’s acoustic “on axis-point” should be approximately 10-
15 cm above ear level –  when sitting in listening position. 

•  For surround rear and side speakers the systems acoustic “on axis-point” should be approximately 70-90 cm 
above ear level –  when sitting in listening position.  

•  Every new M&K Sound In-Wall speaker is designed to be as universal as possible, whether used in In-Wall and/
or In-Ceiling applications. The range is fully compatible with all current and future sound formats, including 
Dolby Atmos, DTS X and Auro. For specific directions of any speaker placement, we recommend to study the indi-
vidual formats own instruction manuals.
