Single Point Stereo Speaker Systems
The idea behind this is simple. Many rooms
are too small to effectively place a left and
right speaker in the ceiling. This is
especially typical in entryways, guest and
half bathrooms, hallways, closets and
stairways. Initially, the only option was to
squeeze in two speakers, limit sound to one
channel, or deal with a separate mono zone
for those areas.
The answer to this situation is the MCM
Custom Audio model #50-9050 Single Point
Stereo Speaker. This innovative concept
includes a dual voice coil 6.5" woofer, and two
side-by-side tweeters, each with
independent crossover circuits. To the
audio system, this speaker appears as
independent left and right speakers, yet to
the eye, it is a single speaker.
These speakers may be added to the
distributed audio system with no concerns
for loss of separation throughout the
remainder of the system.

Installation
Speaker Placement
Careful consideration should be made when determining the desired location of the speaker.
As this Model #50-9050 is referred to as a ceiling speaker, this is the intended mounting location.
However, there is no electronic or physical reason these cannot be mounted in other locations,
such as walls. Note that careful consideration should be given to appearance in these situations.
As noted above, this single speaker provides output for both the left and right channel, so much
greater flexibility is available with regards to proper placement. This speaker may be located
anyplace in a given room, however it is recommended that it not be placed less than 2’ from any
corner. In areas such as hallways, where length exceeds 12’, two speakers should be
considered.
It is important to note that more speakers in a given listening area do not necessarily equate to
higher sound levels. With more speakers, the desired listening level for a given area is attained
with lower output from each speaker. This creates a much more pleasant listening environment
as the sound source can be uniformly heard through the entire room, regardless of location and
with less interference with sounds such as conversation.
Speaker Wire
It is important that good quality wire is used in the installation. Installed speakers generally have
much longer wire runs than normal home theater speakers, hence heavier gauge wire is
recommended. Note: There are numerous manufactures in the market offering “high-end”
