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 recommendations. Keep in mind these are just recommendations and your unique installation requirements may dictate otherwise: • 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. • XTC8, and XTC8-HT. Install in-ceiling only.

Multiple Speakers, Distributed Audio (Fig. 1a) In larger areas (offices, etc.) multiple speakers may be used to eliminate the sound imbalances that occur with separate stereo speakers as people move around the room, or are seated closer to one speaker than the other. Position speakers to achieve the broadest sound coverage in the main listening area. The angled XTC8-HT can be useful to help aim and focus sound towards an area you are trying to cover.
Motion XT LCR Model Placement (Fig. 3d) The XTW5-LCR and XTW6-LCR are true Left, Center, Right (“LCR”) models that can be used for any in-wall position in a stereo or home theater setup. Both models are designed to mount either vertically or horizontally as desired or otherwise dictated by your unique installation. The dedicated midrange driver of the XTW6-LCR does give the speaker an asymmetrical driver layout when mounted horizontally.
Speaker Installation and Connection (pictorial) NOTE: If the clamps are not set to the right position, use a screwdriver to turn the screws counter-clockwise until the clamps are in the correct position. In-Ceiling Mounting ✘ ✔ Fig. 5a Fig. 5b Fig. 5c Fig. 5d 10 Fig.

NOTE: Retrofit Back Boxes are available for all in-ceiling Motion series speakers. These back boxes reduce sound from “leaking” into the area above where the speaker is installed. For example, if building a home theater downstairs and there are living spaces directly above where the speakers are installed it may be desirable to use these back boxes to help contain the sound so it does not cause any disturbance to those above the speakers. 1. If the template has a removable center, remove it at this time.
Painting the Speaker Grille IMPORTANT! Before painting remove grille from speakers. Do not paint the surface of the speaker behind the grille. Do not use a paint roller. 1. Remove the grille from the speaker. 2. Paint the grille, being careful not to plug the holes. For best results use a spray rather than a brush. Allow the paint to completely dry before proceeding. Do not paint the surface behind the grille. NOTE: Retrofit Back Boxes are available for all in-ceiling Motion series speakers.
Frequently Asked Questions How do I clean my speakers? Use a dust free cloth or a soft brush to remove the dust from your speakers. Do not spray any kind of cleaning agent on or in close proximity to the drivers. What size amplifier should I use? We recommend an amplifier rated within the suitable amplifier range of your speaker.
