Environmental Information

All Bowers & Wilkins products are

designed to comply with international

directives on the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment and the disposal of Waste Electrical

and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). These symbols indicate compliance and that the products must be appropriately recycled or processed in accordance with these directives. Consult your local waste disposal authority for guidance.

MM-1 connection sockets are found on the back and the underside of the powered speaker. Those on the underside are the power input socket, the USB socket and the slave speaker socket. Those on the side are the line input socket and the headphone output socket. The connection sockets are illustrated above.

Connecting the Slave Speaker

The slave speaker incorporates a captive cable that connects to the slave speaker connection socket on the underside of the powered speaker. The plug on the end of the captive cable is a push fit into the slave speaker socket. The slave speaker incorporates a facility in its base to coil any spare cable. See illustration above right for coiling spare cable.

USB Connections

If you wish to listen to audio either stored or streamed on your PC/Mac, connect from a spare USB socket on the computer to the USB socket on the underside of the powered speaker. Use the USB cable supplied.

Note: If an alternative USB cable is used it should be no longer than 3m (10 ft).

Aux Input

If you wish to listen to an external analogue audio source, TV audio or your PC/Mac analogue audio output for example, connect it to the MM-1 aux in socket on the back of the powered speaker using the 3.5mm mini-jack cable supplied.

The MM-1 aux in socket and USB input operate in parallel so that audio signals present on either will be heard simultaneously. This allows, for example, computer alert sounds to be heard through MM-1 even while audio is either playing from an alternative analogue source.

Connecting the Power Supply

Connect the MM-1 Power Supply to a mains outlet socket using the supplied mains cable. Now connect the Power Supply output cable to the MM-1 power input socket. When first connected to mains power the MM-1 will automatically enter standby mode with its indicator illuminating red.

Note: The table on page 5 describes all the MM-1 indicator colours and their meanings.

Headphones

A stereo mini-jack headphone socket is fitted to the back of the powered speaker. Insertion of a headphone plug will mute the MM-1 speakers.

The speakers are encased in a high-quality enclosure that not only enhances their aesthetic appeal but also contributes to the overall sound quality by minimizing unwanted resonances. Their compact size makes them suitable for any desktop, providing powerful performance without taking up too much space.

Additionally, the MM-1 incorporates the company's SoundStage technology, which allows the speakers to create a wider dispersion of sound, enhancing the listening experience for those within the room.
