DO NOT REMOVE THE SPECIAL ACOUSTIC FOAM ATTACHED
TO THE FRONT BAFFLE AND/OR GRILLE OF YOUR SPEAKERS.
This foam is a critical part of your loudspeaker system and plays an important role
in its high level of performance. It focuses the radiation of the tweeters, minimizes
cabinet diffraction, and provides the flattest possible frequency response.

The S-5000 uses an Omnimount #100 pattern, and the S-150 uses an Omnimount #75 pattern. This four hole pattern is also used with the M&K speaker stands and wall brackets. You can place your speakers virtually anywhere in the room, but certain locations are better than others. In general, locate them away from obstructions that would interf

HEIGHT (OR ANGLE) Your M&K speakers will always deliver sound superior to conventional speakers, regardless of where you locate them or where you are when you are listening. However, because of their design, they achieve their very best sound quality and their flattest frequency response when properly oriented relative to your ear. Ideally, your speakers' tweeters should be at the same height from the floor as your ears when you are sitting in y

Your speakers have great flexibility in combination with stands, mounting brackets, or speaker hangers to make this easy to accomplish. Remember that they are designed to be installed vertically, with the tweeters aimed at the listeners' ears. They can, however, be placed at virtually any height. This includes sitting directly on the floor, tilted up, as well as being mounted at ceiling height a

This includes placement on stands, risers, in furniture, suspended from ceilings, etc. Unless the speaker is in direct contact with a wall, floor, or ceiling, use the "NORMAL" switch setting.

Therefore, any time the S-5000 is used without its speaker grille, it is very important that that foam be replaced. If your S-5000s are being installed behind other cloth grilles in order to conceal them (or behind a THX front projection screen), the regular speaker grilles should be removed. In these cases, please contact the M&K factory at (310) 204-2854, and we will send, at

S-5000THX & S-150THX satellite speakers page 11 This flat top contains multiples of the original amplified frequencies, sometimes at higher levels than the original signal itself. For tweeters, this can be very damaging, as this distortion is well above the audible range, where you will be unable to hear it, and where the tweeter is more vulnerable to damage. When an amplifier clips, its sound becomes harsh and grating, and a break-up is often audible in the bass frequencies. It will become u
