Operation Manual
•
To connect the MSS to a PC or an
ǀDŽ
3/CD-player,
ԛ
rst insert the RCA-jacks of the 2RCA to Ø 3.5
mm mini-jack signal cable (included) into the
DŽDž
input
l
of the active speaker, and then insert the
mini-jack of the signal cable into the LINE OUT port of the PC sound card or into the
ǀDŽ

•
To connect the MSS to a USB port of your PC or laptop, use the USB cable included in the
package contents. In order to do this, attach the USB cable connector to the USB input
j
on the
rear panel of the active speaker, and insert the other connector of the USB cable to an available
USB port of your PC or laptop. The MSS has a built-in high quality USB DAC providing clear sound
transmission via a USB cable.
Notes:
• Make sure that the cables are reliably
Н
xed in the terminals, the polarity is observed and
bare cables are not in contact with each other and the metal parts of equipment. Mind the
correct connection of all the channels and reliable
Н
xation of the connecting cables in the
jacks, otherwise considerable noises in sound reproduction may occur.
• Sound quality is directly affected by correctness and reliability of the connection of
cables. The left RCA jack must be inserted into the left (white) input of the ampli
Н
er and
the right one into the right (red) input of the ampli
Н
er. It is recommended to use cables that
are included in the package contents of the MSS.
FM antenna installation and connection
•
Insert the included room FM antenna into the FM antenna input
m
on the rear panel of the active
speaker, as shown in the diagram, Fig. 5. Install the FM antenna in such a way that reception quality
is satisfactory, and then
ԛ
x the antenna in this position.
Note. An external 75 Ohm FM antenna should be used for buildings with weak FM signal.
Typically, a three-element antenna is enough, but for areas with weak FM signal it is
required to use an FM antenna with 5 or more elements.
