    Professional’s powered subwoofers. Thanks to M&K’s “Unplug & Play” Backfire Bass Port, the MPS-1611P has the flexibility to be used with or without an M&K Professional powered subwoofer. This unique M&K design allows the speaker to be used as either a sealed cabinet suitable for satellite/subwoofer configurations or as a stand alone, “full-range”...
  • Page 5: Speaker Placement

    A green LED has been installed inside the front baffle of the MPS-1611P above the tweeter. This LED can be used as an alignment too for final aiming of your tweeter.
  • Page 6: Multichannel Speaker Placement

    When the MPS-1611P is used as a front loudspeaker it should be located with the tweeter at seated ear height. If this is not possible the MPS-1611P must be angled in the vertical plane and toed-in to meet at seated ear height at the center of the primary seating/monitoring location so as to cover the listening area uniformly with high frequency energy.

    Placement of the surrounds is somewhat more flexible. The ITU recommends that the surrounds be placed anywhere between 100 and 120 degrees from the location of the center speaker with 110 degrees being the most common solution. Placing the surrounds...

    WITH SUBWOOFER - NO BASS MANAGEMENT The MPS-1611P is designed to be used either as a “full range” speaker without the use of a subwoofer, or as a main or surround spekaer in a 2.1, 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1 channel satellite/subwoofer system.

    In the monitoring process, frequencies below 80Hz are redirected to the subwoofer. Frequencies above 80Hz are sent to the desired speaker. During the hearing process, our hearing mechanism integrates the sound into the correct spatial auditory image.

    4.) A CD player, or DVD player that can play CD-R’s (unless you have downloaded your tones). 5.) An M&K speaker system with the LFE-4 or LFE-5 Bass Management Controller. It may be helpful to have one person sit at the listening position and read the meter while another person adjusts the trim pots on the LFE-4 or LFE-5.

    45 degree angle to vertical and at arm’s length to avoid a false reading from sound bouncing off your body and into the micro- phone. Point the meter at the center speaker at about ear height. Play track one of the test CD through the selected speaker and read the SPL.

    Set your SPL meter for C weighting and slow response. Set the scale to 80dB. Point the meter at the center speaker at ear height with the meter at a slightly up-turned angle. Play track two of the test CD through the selected speaker and read the SPL (Remember that the LFE-4 will re-route all frequencies below 80 Hz to the subwoofer.) Adjust the subwoofer level using a...
  • Page 14: Speaker Mounting Options
