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 tips: • 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. • IC6-HT: Install in-ceiling only. Placement Options (IC3, IC3-AW, IC6, IC8, IC8-AW, IW5-LCR, IW6) Stereo and Home Theater Applications (no illustration) MartinLogan Installer Series in-wall and in-ceiling speakers are ideal for 2-channel stereo and multi-channel home theater installations.

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. NOTE: See your local dealer for new construction pre-install brackets (sold separately). NOTE: While it is possible to use a manual screwdriver for installation, we strongly suggest using a power drill. To avoid damaging or breaking the clamps, set your drill to a LOW setting.

Take great care to assign the same color to the (+) terminal on both the speaker and the amplifier. IC6-ST: See the section, "Connecting the IC6-ST". 7. Set your power drill to the low setting. 8. Ensure the clamps on the lip of the speaker are positioned exactly as shown in the Warning Diagrams. 9. Gently push the assembly into the ceiling or wall hole (Figs. 5c & 6c). 10. Supporting the assembly with one hand, tighten each screw. Stop tightening when you sense resistance (Figs. 5d & 6d).
