6S In-Wall Speaker! This product has been
designed for optimal audio reproduction

audiophiles listen for.
Please take the time to become familiar with
the M-8S/M-6S and the proper installation
procedures as detailed in this manual.
Installation Tools
A proper installation ensures optimal
performance from the M-8S/M-6S. The following
installation tools will be needed:
1. Drywall saw
2. Screwdriver, Phillips head
3. Masking Tape – 1.8 to 2.0 inch
4. Pencil
5. Bubble or laser level
6. Tape measure
7. Stud Finder
Mounting Location
When choosing where to mount for the M-8S/M-
6S speakers, be sure that there are no electrical
wires, ducts, plumbing, gas pipes, or any other
services running through the location. The M-
8S/M-6S can be mounted in any orientation in
order to provide proper coverage at the listener’s
position. While it is most often mounted in wall, it
can also be mounted in ceiling. Keep the
following in mind while deciding where to mount
the M-8S/M-6S:
Separation – Distance between a pair of M-
8S/M-6S should be shorter than the distance
from the speakers to the listener.
Height – Front speaker position should have the
center of the M-8S/M-6S at ear level of the
listener when seated. Center speaker position
can be above or below the TV/Display,
whichever is closer to seated ear level. Surround
locations should be just above seated ear level.
If the surround location is very close to the
listener, the mounting height can be up to 3 feet
above seated ear level to compensate.
Tweeter Aiming – The tweeter should be aimed
towards the listener for all mounting locations.
Mounting Preparation
The M-8S/M-6S requires a cutout size as listed
in the specifications section. An additional ¾” is
required in all directions behind the wall for
attachment. Modern home construction typically
utilize wall studs spaced on 16” centers,
providing approximately 14 ⅜” between studs.
Use a stud finder to locate studs in the wall,
including horizontal braces that may interfere
with the mounting height.
Use the supplied template and a pencil to mark
the position where the cutout will be made. Use
a bubble or laser level to help ensure that the
template is straight. Cut a small square hole in
the marked location to double-check that there
are no obstructions behind the wall.
Figure 1
Using a drywall saw, make the mounting cutout
according to the template outline. Be sure to cut
through the drywall at a 90 degree angle. Trim
any jagged or loose pieces of drywall. Cover the
cut edges of the drywall with strips of masking
tape, folding over the edges on both the front
and back sides of the drywall (See Figure 1).
This will prevent the gypsum in the drywall from
being knocked loose from speaker vibration. Do
not allow the edge of the masking tape to
protrude more than ¼” beyond the cutout on the
