Satellite Speaker Wiring Option 1; Mx-105, Mx-70B, V-125, V-75 Mk Ii, Vx-7B Speaker-Level High-Pass Filter; Satellite Speaker Wiring Option 2 - MK Sound M&K V-125 Operation Manual

powered subwoofers
You now have two options for connecting your Satellite speakers.
NOTE: For the MX-105, MX-70B, V-125, V-75 Mk II, or VX-7 Mk II, see below.
With this option, you connect the wiring for the Satellites directly to the Subwoofer. There is no
performance advantage with this method, but it may require less speaker wire and be more convenient.
1. Run speaker wire between the Subwoofer's Left channel output terminals and the Left
Satellite speaker.
a. Connect the Subwoofer's RED (+) "TO SPEAKERS" terminal to the Positive (+)
terminal on the back of the Left Satellite speaker.
b. Connect the Subwoofer's Left BLACK ( — ) "TO SPEAKERS" terminals to the
Negative ( — ) terminal on the back of the Left Satellite speaker.
2. Make matching connections to the Right channel Satellite speaker. See Figure 2.
(MX-105, MX-70B, V-125, V-75 Mk II, VX-7 Mk II)
The MX-105, MX-70B, V-125, V-75 Mk II, and MX-7 Mk II have a speaker-level high-pass filter
(other M&K models do not). When Satellite speakers are connected to the "TO SPEAKER" terminals
on these subwoofers, the low bass frequencies below 80 Hz are filtered from the Satellite speakers.
This filter significantly reduces the bass demand placed on your main speakers and can make a
noticeable improvement in their sound quality, especially in the midbass and lower midrange. The filter
may make other subtle changes to the sound quality, however, so you may want to experiment with
and without the filter to determine the best configuration for your system.
To use the filter, connect the speaker wire from the left and right channels of your amplifier to the
"FROM AMPLIFIER" terminals on the subwoofer. Connect your left and right main speakers to the "TO
SPEAKERS (SPEAKER LEVEL HIGH PASS)" terminals on the subwoofer. See Figure 2.
If you have a Dolby Pro-Logic system, we recommend that you set the CENTER CHANNEL switch
on the Dolby processor or receiver to the NORMAL mode. This provides a low bass filter for the center
channel speaker and also insures that the bass from all three front channels is fed to the subwoofer.
The high-pass filter is bypassed when the subwoofer is connected with RCA interconnect cable.
This option connects the Satellite speakers direct to your amp or receiver. It requires two sets of
speaker wires — one set running to the Satellite speakers and the other set to the Subwoofer. There
is no High-Pass filter with ANY M&K subwoofer using this option.
Connect the Satellite speakers to your Amplifier, using the same amplifier output terminals as the
Subwoofer. Do not connect the Satellite speakers to the Subwoofer.
