INSTALLATION PREPARATION — FINISHED WALL
When installing the MT8 One or MT8 Two into a finished 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 1-2. Pay careful attention to the section on
avoiding obstructions.
2. Locate Obstructions
Find the studs nearest the desired speaker mounting location. The use of a good stud-finder
tool is highly recommended for this procedure. The speakers should be centered between
the two 16" on center studs. Make sure that there are no studs or obstructions where you
plan to install the speaker. Read
"Check for Obstructions"
under the section
"SPEAKER
PLACEMENT"
on page 1.
3. Trace Template
Place the cutout template at the location you have decided to place the speaker. Keep in
mind that the flange of the speaker baffle will extend beyond the cut opening by
7
⁄
8
". Center the template
between the studs. To aid in centering, the template width is 16". With the template in place, use a level
along the top or bottom edge to make sure it is even with the floor and ceiling. Use a few pieces of tape or small tacks to
hold the template in place.
(See Diagram 5)
Trace an outline on the wall with a pencil.
4.
Cut the Hole
CAUTION: This is the most important part of the entire installation.
If you are not certain
whether or not an obstruction exists behind the desired mounting area, you should start by
cutting a small hole in the center of your penciled mounting hole with a drywall saw. Cut
at a 45˚ angle towards the inside of the hole.
(See Diagram 6)
Cutting the small hole at this
angle will make drywall repair much easier as the piece cut out can be installed neatly back
into the hole. Once you have determined that there aren’t any obstructions in your desired
mounting location, start cutting the finished hole at a 90˚ angle to the wall surface.

If you plan to install AcoustaCell

, please refer to the Owner’s Manual that comes with it
for complete installation instructions.
SPEAKER INSTALLATION
Note:
Your MT8 Series speakers may have come with the optional Jawz
™
speaker wire con-
nector. Before using Jawz
™
, please follow the instructions included with the connector.
The unique I-Beam mounting system incorporated into the MT8 One and MT8 Two allows for
a quick installation by following these easy steps:
1.
Remove the grille by pushing the two I-Beams, located at the rear of the speaker, towards
the front of the speaker. The long screws attached to the I-Beams will force the grille off the
baffle.
2.
The MT8 speakers are mirror imaged. The Uni-Pivot is at the left edge of one baffle and the
right edge of the other. When mounting in pairs, place the speakers so that the Uni-Pivots are at the inside of
the pair.
3.
Connect the speaker cable, observing the proper polarity with your amplifier (+ to + and - to -). Make sure the left channel of
the amplifier is connected to the left speaker, and the right channel is connected to the right speaker.
4.
Slide the top ends of the two I-Beams (at the woofer end of the speaker) up into the drywall opening until there is enough
room at the bottom for the other ends of the I-Beams to clear the opening. Slide the bottom ends into the opening and
position them behind the drywall.
