About the MartinLogan Motion CI MC6-HT
Versatile in-ceiling sound from MartinLogan
Versatile in-ceiling sound from MartinLogan
I don't generally recommend in-ceiling speakers for your home theater's front channels. That's because conventional designs fire straight downward, causing sound to seem disconnected from what you see on your TV or projector screen.
The MartinLogan Motion CI MC6-HT is a rare exception of an in-ceiling speaker that's well-suited for reproducing your home theater's left, center, or right channel. Its angled baffle directs sound down and forward toward your listening position, making a movie's soundtrack feel like it's coming from the action unfolding on the screen instead of several feet above it.

This speaker's angled-baffle design helps it direct sound toward your listening position.
An acclaimed tweeter delivers smooth, sweet highs
One of the reasons the Motion CI MC6-HT sounds so good is its Folded Motion® tweeter.
This unique, accordion-style design yields quick, accurate, and very smooth highs. The Folded Motion tweeter is paired here with a 6-1/2" woven fiberglass woofer for punchy bass and textured midrange.
Build a Motion Series home theater
The MC6-HT makes a good match for other MartinLogan Motion Series speakers. Pair it with any of these models for an immersive home theater experience:
- floor-standing speakers for front or rear channels
- bookshelf speakers for front, rear, or surround channels
- center channel speakers for clear dialogue
