Congratulations! You now own a true breakthrough product. The M&K MP4512 is a unique loudspeaker concept that provides high-
resolution reproduction of five channels of surround audio from a single cabinet utilizing M&K’s Tripole
®
Surround Matrix
TM
technology.
Unlike speakers that use electronic processing to create the illusion of surround only in a narrow “sweet spot,” the MP4512 dispers-
es sound into the room using five separate speaker elements to produce a convincing surround field that can be enjoyed by multiple lis-
teners over a broad listening area.
The MP4512 incorporates individual speakers for the left, center, right, left surround, and right surround channels. The left, center,
and right channel speakers have the identical elements as the acclaimed M&K Xenon LCR-25, each using a very high-performance 1”
fabric-dome Neodymium tweeter (with Ferrofluid) and a high-output 3.25” polymer-resin-coated-paper cone woofer.
The surround channels are reproduced by two high-quality 3” “wide-range” drivers, with one each mounted on the left and right sides
of the cabinet, respectively. Each channel utilizes M&K’s exclusive Phase-Focused
TM
crossover, which is an element critical to the speak-
er’s ability to produce smooth response and even coverage of sound throughout the listening area.
Please take the time to read the following important information contained in this manual. It will help to ensure that you receive max-
imum performance from your MP4512 and understand why M&K is known as “The Choice Of Professionals.”
SPEAKER LOCATION
The MP4512 is magnetically shielded, so it can be placed directly on top of a direct-view television or directly above or below a flat-
screen display device. It can be used in proximity to any television without distorting the picture.
The front baffle of the MP4512 is angled, to allow you to mount the speaker so that it either points up or points down, allowing you
to aim the speaker drivers towards the listener’s ears. In general, the speaker should be mounted so that it points up when it is mount-
ed underneath the television display, and it should be mounted so that it points down when it is mounted above.
In order to determine the proper connection for the left and right channels (both front and side/surround), you first must select the
orientation of the speaker. Because the speaker can be oriented two ways, the speaker input terminals are labeled “1” and “2” instead
of “left” and “right.”
