SYSTEM DIMENSIONS

MX systems are designed to fit into a niche or 

cavity in the front wall. This cavity is located 

directly behind the screen (shown 

in Figure 1).

Overall dimensions

The choice of MX system needs to be 

considered in conjunction with the screen 

size. 
Spacer modules are available to increase 

the distance between left and right modules 

to accommodate wider screen formats and 

improve stereo separation. 

The tables in Figures 2 & 4

 show the overall 

dimensions along with recommended 

cavity size for each MX system. Use these 

dimensions as a guide to match up to your 

selected screen size:
