S-125/S-125C/S-85/S-85C page 4 Your M&K Satellites are not designed for bi-wiring. Do not use the four input terminals to bi-wire your Satellites, as this may damage your amplifier and speakers. If you wish to bi-amplify your Satellites in combination with an M&K Powered Subwoofer, see Section 9 (page 11) for more details. HOOKUP (BOTH REGULAR & CENTER CHANNEL SPEAKERS) There are four terminals on the backplate. Depending on which combination of the four terminals you use to connect your amp

S-125/S-125C/S-85/S-85C page 6 If you have a separate electronic high-pass filter (such as the M&K VF-80 or HP-80), always use the WIDE RANGE terminals, as you do not want to have this combination of dual filters operating. This also applies if your amplifier or controller has built-in high-pass filters (such as THX-approved components and AC-3 units). 4. S-125C & S-85C CENTER CHANNEL USAGE Because the S-125C and S-85C center channel speakers are designed to match their left and right channel

S-125/S-125C/S-85/S-85C page 8 If the other speakers are not M&Ks, don't worry; M&K's unique tonal balance controls allow the M&K speakers to be adjusted to emulate the sound of the other speakers. Here's how: Set up a listening comparison between your the M&K speaker and the other speaker. Connect one speaker to the front right channel and the other to the front left channel. Place them as close together as possible, and compare their sound by alternately rotating the balance control fully

page 9 S-125/S-125C/S-85/S-85C When using a Center channel speaker, you have extra flexibility in placing the left and right speakers, as the Center channel speaker will tie most dialog and effects directly to the screen. SURROUND CHANNELS The Surround channel speakers can be placed in a wide variety of locations in the room to give good performance. In general, the surround speakers should be either adjacent to or behind the main listening position, and located higher than the listener's heads

This test insures optimum sound in the critical bass frequencies where your Subwoofer and Satellite speakers overlap. Play a familiar CD, LP, or tape with steady, consistent bass content through your system. Listen carefully to the "mid-bass" region of 75 - 125 Hz. This is the part of the spectrum

BI - AMPLIFYING YOUR SATELLITES WITH M&K HIGH PASS FILTERS One excellent way to improve the sound of your Satellite speakers (and protect them if you listen at high volume levels to music with substantial deep bass output), is by using an M&K High-Pass Filter. The M&K HP-80 and VF-80 High-Pass Filters improve the performance of any system
