sound takes on the character described above.

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 moderate levels. Therefore, you should use your tone controls judiciously, avoiding extreme boosts of the bass and treble controls, 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 equalizers, 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, and we will be happy to discuss it with you further.

13. USE WITH OMNIMOUNT® BRACKETS

The SS-150THXcontains a threaded (3/8") insert, located on the speaker's back baffle. This allows the speaker to be securely fastened to wall-mount brackets offered by Omnimount Systems. The appropriate bracket is a special order part of the 50 series, known as the 53-RST. This part (order the 53-RST) is available from M&K Sound.
