The MC6-HT is the angled version of the MC6. By designing the speaker with a fixed tweeter and woofer angle, we were able to tune the performance of the speaker far more accurately than universal pivoting designs. The MC6-HT is recommended for applications where the listener will spend most of their time not directly underneath the speaker. For example, when being used as the front or center speaker in a home theater, the listener is typically around 10 feet or farther away, yet typical in ceiling speakers are pointing straight down placing the sweet spot directly in front of the screen. By angling the drivers towards the listener, a very noticeable increase in performance is realized. All MartinLogan Motion CI Series speakers feature our signature Folded Motion Tweeter or FMT. This innovative piece of audio technology provides incredible detail, precise clarity, clean output and high efficiency in a small but mighty package. Pairing this tweeter with lightweight woven fiberglass woofers means that Motion CI delivers a clean and balanced sound that is perfectly suited for any application. Whether you listen to music, movies or a little bit of everything, Motion CI gives you a true high-end audio experience at an affordable price. To round out the assortment, pre-construction brackets are available for all models, and all in-ceiling models have square grilles and retrofittable back enclosures available separately.

  • The MartinLogan Sound: Regardless of the environment, our speakers sound better, more articulate, detailed, and realistic. With Controlled Dispersion and one of the clearest tweeters in the industry, our architectural models can compete with and often exceed the performance of traditional speakers.
  • Controlled Dispersion: Room acoustics are extremely important. Everything in the listening room has an impact on the sound of your speakers, so we try to minimize the harmful effects by focusing the sound directly on your ears. This increases clarity, and detail regardless of the rooms design.
  • Performance Meets Aesthetics: While there are many choices of CI speakers out there, MartinLogan stands out for bringing unique, high-performance technologies together in a package that perfectly blends discrete sound with noticeable quality. Performance and Aesthetics, both without compromise.
  • Folded Motion Tweeter: This miracle of audio engineering gives high efficiency and low distortion a new benchmark. Our signature Folded Motion Tweeter uses an extremely lightweight diaphragm, in a space saving “folded” design, to deliver incredible detail, speed, and accuracy in a small space.
  • Fiberglass Woofers: All Motion CI speakers feature lightweight woven fiberglass cones specifically engineered for their application to blend seamlessly with the lightning speed of our signature Folded Motion Tweeter.

JBL - Stage Angled In-Ceiling Loudspeaker with 1" Aluminum Dome Tweeter and 8" Polycellulose Cone Woofer - Black
5.0(2)

The Stage Architectural Series was designed to deliver iconic JBL sound that blends into the environment so that the music stands out. All models are crafted to be visually discrete with zero bezel grilles and easy installation allowing these speakers to be heard and not seen. Elements including baffles with acoustic smoothing, acoustic lens tweeters, and patented High-Definition Imaging (HDI) horns have been incorporated into the design to ensure that the sound is clear and accurate. A range of eight models are available in various configurations for In-Wall and In-Ceiling installation.

MartinLogan - Motion Series CI, Retro-Fit Backbox Enclosure for MC6-HT - Black/Silver

One of the benefits of in-ceiling speakers is how easily they disappear into a room. Unfortunately, the sound coming from the back of the speaker doesn’t disappear and can distract those in the rooms above the speakers. MartinLogan offers back boxes, or enclosures, for Motion CI In-ceiling speakers. For these situations where sound control is desired, these retrofittable back boxes are the perfect solution. They offer 20dB of noise reduction into adjacent areas and offer the perfect solution to achieve consistent performance where ceiling cavity sizes may vary throughout an installation. Please note that the volume of air in the retrofit enclosure is smaller than that of your ceiling, and bass extension will be reduced. If sound control is not necessary for your unique installation, we recommend not using the back box so the speaker can take advantage of the larger airspace in your ceiling cavity.

By far the most popular size for in-ceiling speakers, the MC6 features a 6.5” woofer with higher power handling, greater output capability, and improved bass response over the smaller MC4. This model works without a built-in enclosure to allow the speaker to use more airspace for higher performance. For applications where sound control is desired, an optional retrofittable back enclosure is available separately. As with all Motion series CI speakers, the MC6 uses MartinLogan’s signature Folded Motion Tweeter for precise clarity and incredible realism to meet all your entertainment needs. All MartinLogan Motion CI Series speakers feature our signature Folded Motion Tweeter or FMT. This innovative piece of audio technology provides incredible detail, precise clarity, clean output and high efficiency in a small but mighty package.

    Great surround speaker

    These speakers are being used in a 5.2.1 living room system. They are timbre matched to my already installed Martin Logan SLM X3 and sound great. Definitely added a more immersive experience to movie night.

    Repoduces ATMOS sound perfectly..

    All I can say is WOW.. I was not expecting much from these height speakers. I just wanted them to reproduce the ATMOS tracks found in a lot of 4K UHD disc. They were easy to install once you have a clear path in your ceiling to run wires. Get the optional speaker housing to ensure the speakers stays clean and not send the sound into floors above.
