Final System Setup

 

Once all wiring connections are complete and you have 
positioned your Premiere loudspeakers, turn on your 
amplification system and run the relevant Level Calibration 
Sequence to establish the correct individual volume level 
for each speaker channel.

Finally, play some test material and make final adjustments 
to the Active Sub Frequency Cut-Off point that allows the 
best overall integration within the system, sounding neither 
too boomy, or overly thin. After this step, It may be 
necessary to run the Level calibration again to make final 
level checks.

Running In

Your new loudspeaker system will require  approximately 
10 hours of normal use to allow the components to settle 
into their working routine and reach their optimum 
performance.

Attaching feet to your subwoofer

Your MS308 subwoofer comes with feet and spikes 
which must be fitted to space the down-firing speaker unit 
the correct distance from the floor for optimum operation

The spikes attach to the bottom of the feet (as shown 
below left).

There are eight pilot holes on the bottom of the speakers.   
The feet are located and secured here with the wood 
screws supplied (below right).   Level as required.
