4.THE M&K HIGH-FREQUENCY PRISM SYSTEM (850 and 650 series only)

Your LCR-850, Center-850, and LCR-650 speakers utilize M&K's exclusive High-Frequency Prism System to optimize imaging and coverage of sound throughout the listening area. This system is designed to take into account the effect of the curved mesh metal grilles on your speakers. Therefore, your speakers are designed for the best sound when the grilles are in place. We recommend that you leave the grilles on the speakers for all listening.

You will note that the tweeter in your LCR-850, Center-850, and LCR-650 speakers is mounted at a slight angle

(4.7 degrees). This mounting is an integral part of the High-Frequency Prism System.

When the speakers are mounted properly, the tweeter will be angled away from the listening position. That means that the left and right channel speakers should be placed with the tweeter angled towards the nearest side wall. The left channel speaker's tweeter should point towards the left wall, and the right channel speaker's tweeter should point towards the right wall.

The center channel speaker should be placed with the tweeter pointing up when it is sitting above the listening position (such as when it sits on top of a projection television set). The center channel speaker should be placed with the tweeter pointing down when it placed underneath the television screen.

When the speaker is mounted as described above, its stereo imaging and coverage of sound are optimized for a very wide listening window that extends from the on-axis position towards the center of the room. If the speaker is mounted with the tweeter pointed in the other direction, its sound quality will be adversely affected.

The 851 and 651 series speakers have a fabric grille and therefore do not use the High-Frequency Prism system.

5.CENTER-850 CENTER CHANNEL HIGH-FREQUENCY PRISM

The Center-850 is designed to match the LCR-850 so all instructions apply to both speaker versions. The Center-850 is designed to be oriented horizontally and located above or below your television screen. For more discussion of center channel speaker placement, see CENTER CHANNEL on page 7.
