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
contactSpeakerCraftat1-800-448-0976.
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

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

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.Agoodstud-finder,foundatanybuildingsupplystore,willhelpyou
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 14
3
⁄4"(W) x 3
3
⁄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.
