Marantz MS308 Getting Started, Connecting your Loudspeakers, Positioning your Loudspeakers

Getting Started

Connecting your Loudspeakers

Do not compromise the performance of your system by using inferior quality cables! Mordaunt-Short recommends that high quality cables of 16 gauge or higher be used. Your professional dealer will give you good advice.

Observing polarity is of the utmost importance while connecting your loudspeakers. Ensure that the red (+) terminals on your amplification system are connected to the red (+) on the speaker, and black (-) on your amplification system to black (-) on your speakers.

If your speakers are wired incorrectly they will be out of phase and sound hollow and indistinct, with a weak bass. Re-check your connections for correct polarity and reverse the connections if necessary.

Important note

Always unplug all A.C. powered components before making any loudspeaker or component connections. This will avoid the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment.

Positioning your Loudspeakers

Properly placed, your Mordaunt-Short Premiere loudspeaker system will provide an excellent, wholly satisfying sound. However, with each room varying in size, dimension and layout, it will be necessary to experiment with the placement of your loudspeakers in order to gain optimum performance. Atypical set-up is shown below.
