For proper operation and the best possible sound, Monster recommends using a Monster Power Reference Home Theatre PowerCenter to deliver clean AC power and protect your MPA 5150 from surges and spikes on the AC power line. Consult your Monster dealer for information or visit MonsterPower.com.

AUDIO CONNECTIONS

When purchasing cables to connect your MPA 5150 to your system, make sure the cables are long enough to have some slack between components. DO NOT stretch the cables tightly between components. Cables should be of sufficient length so that they are not tightly pulled around shelves or other components.

Speaker cables for the all five channels should be of equal length to maintain best delivery of sound. Determine the length needed for the speaker that is the greatest distance away from the amplifier, then cut the others to the same length.

If five runs of speaker cable at the same length is not practical, be certain that the lengths of speaker cable for the three front channels are the same, and match the lengths of the speaker cable for both surround channels.

TRUE POWER METERS™

One the major features of the MPA 5150 are its laboratory-grade digital meters. The meters display the actual wattage output to the speaker.

True Power Meters display wattage using a proprietary “Peak-hold” system that allows meters to be read easily. True Power Meters can be used to calibrate and fine tune your system, protecting your loudspeakers, determining if speakers are connected should speakers and amplifier be installed in different rooms, and displaying performance of your system during particularly dynamic movie and music passages.
