9.BI - AMPLIFYING YOUR SATELLITES WITH M&K HIGH PASS FILTERS

One excellent way to improve the sound of your Satellite speakers (and protect them if you listen at high volume levels to music with substantial deep bass output), is by using an M&K High-Pass Filter. The M&K HP-80 and VF-80 High-Pass Filters improve the performance of any system that allows for separation of its preamp and power amp stages, by filtering the bass signal fed to the main amplifier and Satellite speakers.

These filters will give you greater dynamic range, lower distortion, and an increased maximum output level. If you have any questions about the suitability of your components, please contact your M&K dealer or the factory.

To use these filters with an integrated amp or receiver, the amp/receiver MUST have back panel RCA jacks labelled Preamp/Main Output AND Power Amp/Main Input (or Front Out/Front In) for all of the channels you want to filter (including the center channel). You may have to operate a switch or remove jumper connections on the amplifier.

If you can use one of these filters, you simply connect one set of shielded RCA - RCA interconnect cables between the receiver, amp or preamp's Main Output and the HP-80 or VF-80, with a second set between the HP-80 or VF-80 and the Main Input of the receiver or amplifier, and a third set from the HP-80 or VF-80 to the Subwoofer. See the instruction sheet that comes with the High-Pass Filter for more information.

10. IF YOU NEED SERVICE

Contact your dealer or M&K with a complete description of the problem. Please have the unit's model and serial numbers (found on the back of the cabinet), date of purchase, and your dealer's name. You can call M&K between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM Pacific Time, Monday through Friday, at (310) 204-2854. If you call outside these hours, leave a message, and we will return your call promptly.

DO NOT RETURN YOUR SPEAKERS TO THE FACTORY FOR

SERVICE WITHOUT OBTAINING PRIOR AUTHORIZATION

All M&K Satellite speakers carry a five year limited parts and labor warranty. This warranty is transferable to new owners up to five years from the date of original purchase. It does not cover abuse, misuse, repairs by unauthorized service stations, speakers without M&K serial numbers, speakers not sold by authorized M&K dealers, and those damaged in shipping or by accident. If you have any questions about the warranty, please contact M&K.

11. CABINET MAINTENANCE

Treat the cabinet as you would any piece of fine furniture. Its painted black finish does not require any special maintenance; regular dusting with a lint-free cloth and periodic cleaning is all that is required. Matching black paint can be used if necessary to repair any surface damage.

12. USE WITH M&K STANDS & OMNIMOUNT® BRACKETS

The S-85 and S-85C Satellites contain a threaded (3/8") insert, located on the speaker's back baffle. Using the 3/8" screw provided with your S-85s, this allows the speaker to be securely fastened to an M&K ST-1 or ST-2 speaker stand, as well as to wall-mount brackets offered by OmniMount Systems. Both the M&K stands and the OmniMount brackets offer tremendous flexibility for installation in a wide variety of environments, and both are available in several configurations. Always use only the OmniMount Series listed for each speaker to insure safe installation of the speaker.

The S-125 and S-125C Satellites contain both the threaded (3/8") insert and 1/4" inserts (1/4-20) located on the speaker's back baffle (the S-125 has two and the S-125C has four). This gives you two options to mount the speaker to either the M&K ST-1 or ST-2 stands or to an OmniMount bracket.

See Figure 3 on page 12. For more information, including alternate mounting configurations such as ceiling mounts, contact OmniMount at (602) 829-8000.
