MAIN SATELLITE SPEAKER

1.INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! Your new M&K speaker system will give you years of unmatched enjoyment and excitement while listening to your favorite musical and audio/video sources.

We encourage you to read this owner’s manual, as there is a great deal of information provided here to help you get the best possible performance.

If you have any questions about your speaker system, please contact your M&K dealer or call the M&K factory directly at (818) 701-7010, from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM Pacific Time, Monday through Friday. Alternatively, you can send us an e-mail to support@mksound.com.

2.PLACEMENT OF YOUR M&K SPEAKERS

Your M&K MP-150 loudspeakers are designed for wall mounting, using the attached hanging system. You can also mount them to the wall with an M&K ST Wall Bracket, using the threaded mounting hardware permanently mounted into the cabinet's back baffle. See section 8 on page xx for details.

The wide vertical radiation pattern of the MP-150 allows it to be placed high or low on the wall for good sound coverage. When the speaker will be mounted below the listeners' ears, the angled cabinet should be oriented so that it angles up toward their ears, and when the speaker is mounted above the listeners' ears, it should be oriented to angle down.

The MP-150 is magnetically shielded, which allows it to be placed close to a television monitor without distorting the picture.

3.SPEAKER HOOK-UP

The sound quality that you get from your speakers can be affected by the type of speaker wire that you use to connect them. We strongly recommend using the heaviest gauge wire possible. Your special M&K 5-way binding post input terminals will directly accept wire as heavy as 4 gauge!

For wire runs of up to 10 feet, 16 gauge wire is acceptable. For runs up to 20 feet, you should use a minimum of 14 gauge. For up to 30 feet, use a minimum of 12 gauge, and over 30 feet should use 10 gauge.

There are a very wide variety of premium speaker cables available from a number of specialist manufacturers. We do not endorse any specific brand of premium cable, but we do recommend the highest quality cable that fits your budget. Beware, though — with cables, expensive is not always better.

WIRING

The Positive ( + ) lead from your amplifier or receiver should be connected to the RED ( + ) "INPUT" terminal, and the Negative ( — ) lead from your amplifier or receiver should be connected to the BLACK ( — ) "INPUT" terminal. Use only one set of terminals. Either set may be used.

4.SPEAKER PLACEMENT IN A HOME AUDIO SYSTEM

The Left, Center and Right speakers should ideally all be at the same height as the television screen. Because the Center channel speaker cannot cover the screen, it will have to be placed above or below the screen. When possible, set up all three speakers at the same height. If this is not practical, try to set them up so that they are no further apart vertically than 12” in height. In other words, the bottom of the speaker the farthest from the floor should be no higher than the top of the speaker closest to the floor. See Figure 3.
