LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT
MTX In-Walls can be positioned virtually anywhere you desire sound. Important
considerations are room layout, furniture arrangement, location of audio/video
equipment and daily foot traffic within the room/house. MTX In-Walls are
designed to be installed between wall studs, so avoid locations next to doors,
windows or other construction that may present difficulties. If used for video, In-
Walls should be placed at least six feet away from your video screen, to avoid
magnetic interference.
THE MODEL 600WM WATER RESISTANT LOUDSPEAKER
The MODEL 600WM is specifically designed for use in areas where moisture is
present, such as bath, sauna, hot tub area, patio, poolside and other exterior appli-
cations. If you are planning an installation of this type, we strongly recommend
the MODEL 600WM Water Resistant Loudspeaker.

STEP 1
Using a stud finder (available at low cost at most hardware stores) or other accurate method, locate center point between two studs and mark. Using template
provided, trace hole pattern on surface of wall. Placing a bubble level on either
the horizontal or vertical guidelines of template will assist you in leveling hole
pattern.
STEP 2
Using a sabre saw, keyhole saw or very sharp utility knife, cut hole in wall, following traced pattern.
STEP 3
Run loudspeaker wires to sound source location. There are several methods you
can use to accomplish wiring, depending on the construction characteristics of
the room or house (see Loudspeaker Placement). You can add a professional
touch to your installation by using a speaker terminal plate at the source location.
Leave sufficient amount of wire at speaker location (8 to 10 inches) to complete
connection.
STEP 4
Attach loudspeaker wires to speaker terminals, observing correct polarity, and
position speaker frame assembly to hole as shown. Insert top of mounting frame
into hole at top. By moving bottom of frame upwards, you should now be able
to insert bottom of frame into hole at bottom. Be careful not to pinch wires in the
process. Tighten long screws. Use a level during tightening to insure straightness
of final position.
STEP 5
After the speaker panel is secured tightly, test for sound. When you are satisfied
the speaker is operational, affix grill. As grill is designed for a snug fit, you’ll
need to position one edge into slot first, and press or squeeze around perimeter
of grill, while pushing leading edges into grill slot.
