This is where the signal is connected to the subwoofer 

and adjustments are made to the frequency response of 
the speakers to match the subwoofer’s location and the 
room’s environment. First things first, though...power!

1. Power Connection and Fuse

Connect the power cord to this IEC socket securely, 

and plug the other end into a live AC outlet. Make sure 
the AC outlet has the correct voltage indicated below 
the IEC socket.

Disconnecting the plug’s ground pin is  
dangerous. Don’t do it!

The fuse is located behind the fuse cover, at the    

bottom of the IEC socket. See the “Troubleshooting”  
section on page 11 for information about replacing  
the fuse.

2. Voltage Selector Switch

Make sure the switch is in the correct position for 

your local AC mains voltage before connecting the AC 
power cord. Use a small flat screwdriver to slide the 
switch, if required.

3. Power Switch

Press this switch left 

to turn the MRS10  
studio subwoofer on. 
Make sure the level 
control is down before 
you turn it on. When the 
power switch is turned 
on and the MRS10 studio 
subwoofer is plugged  
into an AC outlet, the 
LED on the front panel 
illuminates green to let 
you know that it’s ready 
to go.

Press the right side of this switch down to put the 

subwoofer into standby mode. It will not function, but 
the circuits are still live. To remove AC power, either 
turn off the AC supply, or unplug the power cord from 
the speaker and the AC supply.
