Most users will set the speaker to a single mode for all playback, and we recommend that the choice be made based upon room conditions. Still, some users may prefer the Dipole mode for some material and the Tripole mode for other material. If you have questions regarding this, please contact your M&K dealer or the M&K factory.

4. INSTALLATION OF YOUR SS-150THX SPEAKERS

Your M&K SS-150THXs can be installed in a variety of ways. Choosing the correct location, however, is important.

READ SECTION 6 (page 7) BEFORE DECIDING WHERE TO INSTALL YOUR SS-150THXs.

They can be placed on tall stands (M&K ST series); shelves or bookcases; or more permanently mounted using brackets or a ceiling suspension system. To make their installation as easy as possible, we have provided an integral flush-mount bracket that allows you to install the SS-150THXquickly and securely. Integral mounting hardware is also provided for an Omnimount 50 series mounting bracket. Remember that when the speaker is installed above the listeners' heads, the tweeter should be at the bottom.

Your SS-150THXspeakers have one flush-mount wall bracket attached to each cabinet, mounted on the side that sits against the side wall. Also enclosed is a kit consisting of two matching brackets that attach directly to the wall, as well as all necessary mounting screws and drywall inserts.

In order to use these brackets, see Figure 1 and the enclosed template, and then follow these instructions. The initial step is to determine where you will locate your SS-150THXs. See Section 6 (page 7), for guidelines on where to locate the speakers. Then, using the template sheet enclosed (which is reproduced below), mark holes on the wall where the brackets will be permanently mounted. We strongly recommend that the bracket be mounted into a wall stud. This will provide the most secure mounting. When locating the mounting holes into the stud, first locate its center.

Please use the separate enclosed sheet to mount the speaker to the wall. The reproduction of the sheet that appears below is not to scale and is reproduced only for reference.
