MAIN SATELLITE SPEAKER

When tone controls or equalizers are used to boost frequencies, the problem occurs much more rapidly. Even a small boost of low or high frequencies can easily double the power requirement and lead to amplifier clipping at moder- ate levels. Therefore, you should use your tone controls judiciously, avoiding extreme boosts of the bass and treble con- trols, especially when you are listening at high volume levels.

The best way to avoid speaker damage is to use common sense. Use moderate boosts of tone controls or equaliz- ers, at the very most. Listen carefully for any harshness and break-up, especially at high volume levels, and turn down the volume when needed. If you cannot get enough volume, you may need to consider a higher-powered amplifier. If you have any questions about this, please contact M&K or your local M&K dealer.

10.M&K WALL MOUNT BRACKET AND STAND OPTIONS

We recommend using M&K’s ST series of floor mount stands for your S-250 or S-150 speaker. See Figure 7. These stands are comprised of several components. For each stand assembly, you will need the base, the leg/pipe, the leg/pipe cover, and the bracket. For additional flexibility, you may choose to have the pipe custom made to suit your specific appli- cation.

The use of M&K’s ST-series component stand will allow both vertical and horizontal alignment. Making the critical speaker alignment process both accu- rate and simple. Additionally, for even more precise aiming of the speakers, we recommend using a laser alignment too. This laser too can be ordered direct from M&K, just visit our web site for more information and ordering instructions.

If using speaker stands is not ideal for your particular application, M&K also offers ST-Wall brackets, for the greatest flexibility in mounting your S-150 and S-250 speakers to the wall. The ST-Wall/Tilt brackets can be adjusted vertically and horizontally. The ST-Wall/Fixed brackets can only be adjusted horizontally. Versions designed for corner mounting, known as the ST- Corner/Tilt and ST-Corner/Fixed is also available. See Figure 8.

DO NOT MOUNT THE SPEAKER TO THE SHEET ROCK OR DRY WALL USING WALL ANCHORS. ALWAYS MOUNT THE SPEAKER TO A STUD.

If you have any questions or concerns abouting moutning the speaker, please contact you local M&K dealer or M&K directly.
