When this happens, the sound becomes harsh and grating, and a break-up is often audible in the bass frequencies. It will become uncomfortable to listen to, especially when compared to a slightly lower volume level. When you are listening at high volume levels, be aware of the onset of clipping distortion, and turn the volume down slightly if the 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.

11. M&K 5.1 MULTICHANNEL & PRO-LOGIC SYSTEM SETUP GUIDE

The 5 Most Important Items In System Setup:

1.Find the best location for the subwoofer for maximum output and flattest response (usually the corner closest to the listening position)

2.Aim the front speakers (and the surrounds, if possible) for the flattest response and the best imaging

3.Set all speakers to the Small setting for proper High-Pass and Low-Pass Filter operation to get the lowest distortion and maximum dynamic range

4.Calibrate all speakers and the subwoofer to the identical level for proper imaging and balance

5.Make sure all speakers are in phase for proper imaging and impact

These instructions will help you make sure that you cover all steps in setting up a 5.1 multichannel or Pro-Logic surround sound system. In addition to following this list, make certain that you study and understand the owner’s manual for each and every component used in the system, especially the processor/receiver’s manual. Have fun and good luck!

A useful tool for system setup is the DVD called Video Essentials. If you don’t have one, you can order it by visit the web site at www.videoessentials.com.

Here are the instructions for speaker setup.

1.Locate the front speakers. The left, right, and center speakers should be equidistant from the main listening position. Try to set up the speakers so that they are reasonably symmetrical to room surfaces. A tape measure may be very helpful.

2.Locate the subwoofer

A.The best place for the subwoofer is the corner with the best structural strength. If the corners are roughly equal in construction, use the corner nearest the listening position. If the listening position is in the front half of the room, place the subwoofer in a front corner.
