WIRING WITH THE M&K HP-80 OR VF-80 HIGH-PASS FILTERS (NON-THX
)
The M&K HP-80 and VF-80 High-Pass Filters can improve the sound of systems by filtering the bass
fed to the main amp and Satellite speakers. These filters will give your system greater dynamic range,
lower distortion, and an increased maximum output. To use these filters with an integrated amp
or receiver, the amp or receiver MUST have back panel RCA jacks labelled PREAMP/MAIN
OUTPUT and POWER AMP/MAIN INPUT. You may have to remove jumper connections or throw
a switch to do this. If you have any questions about your components, contact your dealer or M&K.
For non-THX systems, your subwoofer is optimized for use with the HP-80 High-Pass Filter.
We strongly recommend that you use this filter (and set the "LOW PASS FILTER" toggle switch to the
"80 Hz 24 dB/OCTAVE" position) if your system components allow for its use. When the subwoofer
is used with an HP-80 and M&K Satellites, the combination forms a 4th order Linkwitz-Riley crossover
between satellite and subwoofer. The linear phase of this crossover means uncompromised
performance and great flexibility in system setup, with no elaborate calibration or adjustment needed.
Do not use either of these filters with a THX controller. The THX controller has the appropriate filters
in its built-in crossover circuitry. Do not use a SUBWOOFER OUTPUT jack on your amp or processor
