MartinLogan Motion MC6-HT Angled In-Ceiling Speaker - Folded Motion Tweeter, 6.5" Woofer - Single

Product Description

The MartinLogan Motion MC6-HT is a specialized in-ceiling loudspeaker engineered to solve the challenges of overhead audio in a dedicated home theater. Unlike standard ceiling speakers that project sound straight down, the MC6-HT features internally angled drivers. This unique design directs the soundstage toward your seating position, creating a much more realistic and immersive experience for front, center, or surround channels.

At the heart of its performance is the signature Folded Motion tweeter, which provides a lightning-fast response and exceptional clarity in the high frequencies. Complementing the tweeter is a 6.5-inch high-excursion fiberglass woofer. Fiberglass was chosen for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, allowing the speaker to deliver clear mid-range and tight, accurate bass without the distortion often found in traditional ceiling speakers.

The MC6-HT is designed for a clean, professional look with its paintable, micro-perforated magnetic grille that sits nearly flush with the ceiling. With its robust build quality and precise sound dispersion, this speaker is the perfect choice for high-end architectural audio systems where floor space is limited but performance is a top priority.

FAQ

Why is the speaker angled?

The internal angle allows the sound to be directed toward the listeners rather than the floor. This is crucial for front or surround channels to make the audio feel like it's coming from the screen or around you, not from directly above.

Can I paint the grille?

Yes, the micro-perforated magnetic grille is designed to be painted to match your ceiling color for a nearly invisible look.

Does it work with Atmos?

Absolutely. Its high-resolution tweeter and directed sound make it an excellent choice for the height channels in a Dolby Atmos or DTS:X setup.
