    If you are using multiple subwoofers, place them in the same location. Stacking is best, but you can also put them side by side. This also applies if you are using a K-10 and a K-11 to make a push-pull, dual driver subwoofer.

  • Page 5: Subwoofer Hook-Up

    Subwoofer. This makes your M&K Subwoofer truly non- directional. The K-9 subwoofer is not magnetically shielded (The K-10 and K-11 are magnetically shielded). Leave 2 - 3 feet of clearance around any television set. Shielding avoids magnetization of the shadow mask of the television's picture tube, which will distort the television's picture.

    Electronic High-Pass filters, crossovers, etc. This will give you better bass quality than using the speaker inputs, because it bypasses your amp or receiver's amplifier stage. If you don't have a Subwoofer Output available, check to see if you have preamp outputs on your preamp, amp, or processor to be able to use these inputs.

  • Page 7: Figure 2 Connecting To A Stereo Amp Or Preamp

    Some M&K subwoofer owners hook up their Subwoofer by connecting it to their receiver or amplifier using speaker wires. To do so, you make the same kind of connections that you would use for your Satellite (or main) speakers, except that both the left and right channels go to the Subwoofer. (If you are using two Subwoofers, connect one channel only to each Subwoofer).

  • Page 8: Figure 3 To An Amp Or Receiver Using Speaker Wires

    SATELLITE SPEAKER WIRING OPTIONS If you use speaker wires to connect the subwoofer, you have two options for the Satellite speakers. 1. Connect both the Satellite speakers and the subwoofer direct to your amp or receiver, with one set of wires running to the Satellites and another set to the Subwoofer.

    BLACK ( — ) "FROM AMPLIFIER" terminal. Make matching connections for the Right channel. If your Amplifier has two sets of speaker outputs (e.g., A and B), you can connect the Satellites to one set and the Subwoofer to the other. But if you get weak or no output when you connect your speaker this way, connect both sets of speaker wires to the same output terminals.

  • Page 10: Use Of The "Low Pass Filter" Control

    M&Ks MX series subwoofers The K-11 is identical to the K-10 except that its 8" driver is mounted inverted. When a K-10 and a K-11 are stacked or placed side-by-side, the combination produces a no-compromise, very high-quality push-pull dual driver subwoofer package that fits just about anywhere.

  • Page 11: Home Theatre Usage

    If you already own a K-10 and would like to upgrade your subwoofer performance, you don't need to trade your subwoofer in for a new model. The K-11 upgrade path will give you the full benefit of a push-pull dual-driver subwoofer, with its even-order harmonic distortion cancellation and higher output capability.
  • Page 12 Carefully turn the "BASS LEVEL" control up towards the "MAX" position. If you hear hum coming from the Subwoofer's speaker driver, the Subwoofer is the source of the hum. If you hear no hum or less hum, the problem is probably coming from another component.

    powered subwoofers Remove the fuse cap. If the fuse cap has an arrow printed on it, push the cap in and turn it counterclockwise. If the fuse cap has a slot in it, use a flat head screwdriver to turn it counterclockwise. Look carefully at the fuse. If the wire filament inside the glass is broken, replace the fuse ONLY with one of the identical size and value.
  • Page 14 Locate the surrounds. Determine the best position in the room. It will probably be the position used for THX speaker, directly to the right and left of the main listening position on the side walls (so that a listener in the center seat is directly between the speakers). If that doesn’t work or is not practical because of the room, try these locations: on the ceiling;...
  • Page 15 Set levels for each channel. You can take a measurement at the listening position to establish the reference level, but it is usually more accurate to take levels at about one meter from each speaker. Set all channels to exactly the same level.

    FREQUENCY RESPONSE: WEIGHT: NOTE: The K-11 is identical to the K-10 except that its driver is inverted and electronically it has the opposite polarity. The combination of a K-10 and a K-11 forms a push-pull dual driver subwoofer system in two cabinets.
