Theater 5 Hybrid

Settings

Setting up the AV receiver/amplifier

For connection purposes, treat the M 520 F hybrid 
boxes just like two separate active subwoofers. In 
the Speaker Setup, switch the subwoofer channel 
to “On”. As a crossover frequency, select 100 Hz (if 
this is not available, 120 Hz and 80 Hz are the next 
best options). The midrange speakers and tweet-
ers of the column speakers function just like any 
conventional  surround  satellite  speaker.  There-
fore,  the  settings  for  the  front  speakers  should 
be the same as for the centre and rear speakers 
– “Small” or “Normal”, NOT “Large”.

The subwoofer's output setting in the AV receiv-
er's menu may vary depending on usage, e.g., home 
theatre sound system or music playback. Whereas 
an action-packed DVD typically contains very de-
fined sub bass signals, many music-only sources 
do not. This is especially noticeable if your system 
is calibrated for optimum DVD playback. 
To  find  the  best  compromise  between  differing 
sound  sources,  use  your  own  subjective  judge-
ment.

Our  recommendation  is  to  determine  the  best 
subwoofer volume gradually over time. 

Avoid  configuring  the  subwoofer  volume  auto-
matically via your AV receiver's integrated room 
analysis  computer (advanced  receivers  only).  In-
stead, set the subwoofer level provided in the 
bass management/speaker management section 
(“Speaker Setup”) to a high value, such as +4 to 
+12  dB;  this  will  guarantee  that  the  subwoofer 
activates itself at the right times when in “Auto 
On/Standby” mode. 
You can then use the subwoofer's own level con-
trol to experiment with different bass levels that 
are suited to your various listening scenarios. 

Setting up the subwoofer

“Bass Level” 3 dB / 0 dB / -3 dB

The  response  of  a  speaker  cabinet  is  always  af-
fected by the room it is placed in.
To  help  you  find  a  good  balance  between  the  
M 520 F's active subwoofer and passive midrange/
tweeter section, you can adjust the subwoofer's 
volume level.
Experiment to find out which setting sounds best 
in your listening environment. This switch can be 
very useful if you are running the speakers off a 
conventional stereo amplifier. Multi-channel am-
plifiers usually have their own controls for adapt-
ing the subwoofer level, so in this case you should 
be able to leave the switch at “0 dB”.
