In the MX-300, MX-200, and MX-125 Mk II, a full-range signal (including deep bass) is fed to your Satellites. To roll off (filter) the signal fed to the Satellite speakers for biamplification, you must:

1.Have a separate amp and preamp OR a receiver or integrated amp that allows you to separate its amp and preamp stages.

2.Use a surround sound processor or receiver that has built-in high-pass filters and a subwoofer output jack.

3.Add an M&K Electronic High-Pass Filter to your system. See Page 9 for more information.

WIRING WITH THE RCA JACK INPUTS

The "INPUT" RCA jacks on the Subwoofer allow you to directly connect the Subwoofer to preamp- level components such as surround sound processors, preamplifiers, integrated amps and receivers with preamp outputs, Electronic High-Pass filters, crossovers, etc.

Using these inputs gives you better bass quality than using the speaker inputs (it bypasses your amp or receiver's amplifier stage). If you don't have a subwoofer output available, you must have preamp outputs on your preamp, amp, or processor. If you have only one set of preamp outputs, use a Y-connector to feed both the amplifier and the Subwoofer. In many cases, using a Y-connector may slightly degrade the Satellite speakers' sound quality. Please feel free to experiment.

To connect the Subwoofer in this way, simply run a set of shielded RCA - RCA interconnect cables from the output jacks on your component to the "FROM PREAMP" jacks on the Subwoofer's backplate. See Figure 4.

If you have one Preamp Output, connect both the Subwoofer and the Amplifier to it.
