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 using as high quality a cable as fits
your budget. Using better quality cables will improve the sound of your Satellites.

HOOKUP

For each speaker, connect the Positive (+) lead from your amplifier or receiver to the RED  (+) INPUT terminal

and connect the Negative (-) lead from your amplifier or receiver to the BLACK (-) INPUT terminal. See Figure 2.

5. OPTIMIZING SPEAKER PLACEMENT

The sound quality produced by your speakers can be enhanced by careful attention to their placement. While we

understand that you may not redesign your room to accommodate your speakers, coming as close as possible to the
ideal placement will give you much better sound.

The left, right and center channel speakers can be oriented either horizontally or vertically. All speakers can be

angled with the optional ST-BT5 wall bracket (Section 13, page 14)..

Three factors are important in getting the best sound. They are:

A.

Height (or angle).

B.

Location away from room walls or reflecting surfaces.

C.

Separation between Left and Right speakers.

A. HEIGHT (OR ANGLE)

Your M&K Speakers will always deliver sound superior to con ventional speakers, regardless of where you locate

them. However, because they are designed for very fast and accurate transient response, they achieve even better
sound quality, and the flattest frequency response when properly oriented relative to your ear.

Ideally, the tweeters should be at the same height from the floor as your ears, when you are sitting in your main

listening position.

If you have the speakers mounted above or below this height, they sound their best when you angle the

speakers so that the tweeters are aimed at your ears when you are in the main listening position.

NOTE:When the speaker is mounted above the listeners’heads,make certain that the tweeter on the front

baffle is at the bottom.
