SPEAKER INSTALLATION
MTX MUSICA Series speakers can be installed in either in-ceiling or in-wall applications allowing
them to blend within any interior decorating scheme. Speaker placement is critical to maximizing the
performance of the speakers within the system. Achieve the best stereo reproduction by installing
two loudspeakers an equal distance from the listener’s position and separated so that the speakers
and the listener form an equilateral triangle, with all sides of the triangle being the same length. In
multi-channel applications the same principle applies for both the front and rear speakers with the
addition of a center channel speaker directly in front of the listener’s position.

CUTTING THE SPEAKER HOLE
Before cutting any speaker holes, it is important to check for electrical wiring, plumbing, conduit,
studs, or other obstacles that may exist in the intended installation spot. Remember that the grille and
ange are larger than the speaker cut-out. Ensure there is room on all sides of the desired location to
accommodate the entire speaker.
1. Use the included cut-out template to mark the cut-out pattern on the wall or ceiling once it has
been determined to be a safe location with no obstructions.
2. Use a sabre saw, keyhole saw, or sharp utility knife to cut the hole following the traced pattern.
Use caution when cutting the hole to prevent unnecessary damage to the surrounding surface.
3. Clear the hole of any debris or other material that will prevent speaker installation.
INSTALLING THE SPEAKER
1. Connect the speaker wires previously run to the install location ensuring that the ends are stripped
and the inner copper wire is exposed. Press down on the compression terminals and insert the
speaker wire into each terminal ensuring that polarity is maintained with the positive wire
connected to the + terminal and the negative wire connected to the - terminal.
2. The speaker includes four front panel Phillips screws that operate the dog legs that will attach the
speaker to the ceiling or wall material.
3. Using a screwdriver or power drill on low setting turn each screw clockwise until the dog leg
rmly secures itself to the ceiling or wall material. Use caution to not overtighten the dog legs
causing them to crack or break.
4. Attach the included press-t grille, make the speaker wire connections at the source, and turn on
a signal to test the speaker(s).
PAINTING THE GRILLES
MTX MUSICA Series speakers include press t grilles that can be painted to match ceiling or wall
colors allowing them to blend into the room. Spray application will provide excellent results. The
cloth inserts in the grilles should be removed before the grilles are painted and they should be placed
back in the grilles once the paint is dry.
1. Remove the grille from the speaker bafe.
2. Fold up all grille aps carefully.
3. Push the grille out from the plastic trim.
4. Remove the scrim cloth, making sure not to damage it. It will be needed when re-assembling the
grille.
5. Paint the grille and trim ring. Make sure not to ll in the grille holes as this will affect sound quality.
