BACKBOX IN-WALL LOUDSPEAKERS
Introduction
M&K Sound backbox in-wall speaker systems are designed for easy installation.
You are just a few easy steps away from enjoying the acclaimed M&K sound.
Accessories
• Cut-out template integrated in packing for marking of wall position and cut-out dimensions
• Damping pads, cable fittings, and push terminal connectors for quick install
• Dog screw mounting system with self-locking clamps for solid attachment to wall
• Metal front grille and front baffle with integrated magnets for easy grille mounting
Placement
For placement of M&K Sound in wall speakers, please note the following basic
recommendations for installation.
Defining correct
placement height
for M&K speakers in
stereo or surround
set-up is essential,
beginning with
finding the speaker’s acoustic on axis
point, marked
between woofers
and tweeters as
shown below.
• For both stereo and surround front speakers the system’s acoustic “on axis-point” should be approximately 1015 cm above ear level – when sitting in listening position.
• For surround rear and side speakers the systems acoustic “on axis-point” should be approximately 70-90 cm
above ear level – when sitting in listening position.
• Every new M&K Sound In-Wall speaker is designed to be as universal as possible, whether used in In-Wall and/
or In-Ceiling applications. The range is fully compatible with all current and future sound formats, including
Dolby Atmos, DTS X and Auro. For specific directions of any speaker placement, we recommend to study the individual formats own instruction manuals.

IW300 and IW150
Using IW300 and IW150 with acoustically transparent
screen, it is recommended to position left and right speakers with tweeters pointing inward towards the screen and
place center speaker in vertical position behind the screen.
When using IW300 and IW150 with a non-transparent screen, the center channel can be placed above or below
the screen, while the Left and Right speakers may be moved up or down, to approach the vertical placed center
channel position. (Fig A)
If the center channel is placed horizontally, place the tweeters closest to the screen. (Fig B)
IW950
When using IW950 with a transparent screen, placement on
a center line with tweeters aimed downward at the listening
position is recommended.
When using IW950 with a non-transparent screen, the center channel can be placed horizontally above or below
the screen, while the Left and Right speakers may be moved up or down to approach the horizontally placed
center channel position.
Left / Center / Right Orientation
In a typical front speaker configuration, the M&K models are recommended to be used as shown below.
Stereo Orientation
The above recommendations are to be followed for any stereo application. A good formula when setting up a stereo
system, is to have the same distance between left and right speaker to the listening position.
