Note: The AMC550mp is sold in mirror-imaged pairs. On the back of each system is a label that specifies the screen direction. In the diffuse mode, the response will be slightly superior in this direction. Install the two systems so that the arrows point toward the screen. If listeners are not going to be located on or near the center axis of the speaker, the speaker should be oriented with the arrow toward the listener location (even if this is away from the screen).

Warning: To prevent electrical shock, always switch off the amplifier or receiver when making connections to the speaker.

Important: Typically, one side of the wire is smooth. Connect this side to the – (black) speaker terminal. The other side has a rib or stripe. Connect this to the + (red) speaker terminal. Connect wire at the amplifier in the same way. Failure to do so will result in degraded sound.

5. Install speaker according to diagram below.

Important: Do not overtighten screws. Doing so will break the frame and/or make it impossible to insert the grille.

LISTENING LEVELS AND POWER HANDLING

The power recommendation for the system assumes you will operate the amplifier in a way that will not produce distortion. All speakers can be damaged by even a modest amplifier if it is producing distortion. If you hear a gritty noise or other signs of strain, turn down the volume. Prolonged or repeated operation of your speakers with a distorted signal can cause damage that is not covered by the warranty. It is especially important that you do not overdrive the bass capability of smaller speakers. Watch for noises, such as pops, caused by the music’s bass line. Use of the loudness control and/or full bass boost at louder volumes is likely to overdrive the woofer. Use such controls sparingly.

Another significant aspect of the AMC550mp is its cabinet construction. The speaker cabinets are crafted from high-quality materials that not only enhance durability but also minimize unwanted resonance. The internal bracing design is meticulously engineered to reduce vibration and distortion, resulting in cleaner sound output. The finish of the cabinets is not just aesthetically pleasing but also contributes to the overall acoustic performance, making them a perfect fit for any modern living space.

The AMC550mp also features advanced crossover technology, which aids in the seamless integration of the woofer and tweeter. This technology ensures that frequencies are directed appropriately to the appropriate driver, allowing for a balanced soundstage that enhances the overall listening experience. Snell Acoustics pays attention to the phase and timing of sound waves, ensuring that listeners experience music as the artists intended.

Connectivity options on the AMC550mp cater to contemporary audio setups. With a range of inputs available, including traditional speaker wire connections and advanced binding posts, this speaker is versatile and easy to integrate into any sound system. Its compatibility with various audio formats and systems makes it a great choice for both stereo and home theater applications.

In summary, the Snell Acoustics AMC550mp stands out for its impressive driver technology, robust cabinet construction, and advanced crossover design.
