Motif X towards the main listening position (see figure 6). The
lever is marked with a MartinLogan zig symbol.
Mounting the Motif X On A Wall
Required hardware (included): (6) Wall Anchors, (6) 1"
Phillips Head Wood Screws, (2) Push pins, (2) Wall Brackets, (2)
Shoulder Bolts, (2) Threaded Rubber Bumpers
Required tools (not supplied): Level, Pencil, Electric Drill,
1/8" Drill Bit, 1/4" Drill Bit, Phillips Head Screwdriver
NOTE: These instructions assume the mounting surface is of
wood frame and standard sheet rock construction. If you wish
to mount the Motif X to another type of material or construction,
you should consult a bonded contractor. NOTE: Before begin-
ning, study the Horizontal and Vertical Hardware Configuration
drawings (figures 7 & 8). IMPORTANT! This template is used
for both horizontal and vertical installations. When drilling pilot
holes and tracing keyholes make sure you're using the 2 pilot
hole and 2 keyhole locations intended for your installation.
1
Position the template. Install the center push pin. Level the
template. Install the second push pin. Using a pencil trace
two keyholes located on the template.
2
Using a 1/8-inch drill bit, drill two pilot holes located on the tem-
plate. Remove the template. If a pilot hole does not hit a stud use
a 1/4-inch drill bit to widen the hole and install a wall anchor.
3
Install both wall brackets using only the top screw. Do not
over tighten the top screw.
4
Align each wall brackets keyhole with a traced keyhole and
tighten the top screw.
5
On the back of the Motif X, install two shoulder bolts in the top
holes and two rubber bumpers in the bottom holes. Test fit
the speaker. Adjust the bracket positions until the speaker fits.
IMPORTANT! At this point do not allow the speaker to hang free-
ly—there are not enough screws installed to fully support its weight.
6
Drill two more pilot holes (per bracket) at the screw hole
locations on the left & right sides of both wall brackets. If a
pilot hole does not hit a stud remove the wall bracket , use a
1/4-inch drill bit to widen the hole, and install a wall anchor.
7
Install both wall brackets using all 3 screws per bracket.
Tighten the screws.
8
Hang the speaker on the wall brackets.
