S-125/S-125C/S-85/S-85C 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. -

Page 6: S-125C & S-85C Center Channel Usage
S-125/S-125C/S-85/S-85C 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). -
Page 7: Home Theatre Usage
S-125/S-125C/S-85/S-85C SEPARATION BETWEEN LEFT & RIGHT SPEAKERS LEFT SPEAKER If the speakers are on a television set or shelves, locate them on the front edge, so there is no flat surface directly in front of them. If the speakers will sit close to walls or other large objects, leave as much space as possible between the speaker and the object. -
Page 8: Center Channel Usage
S-125/S-125C/S-85/S-85C 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. -
Page 9: Surround Channels
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. The Surround channel speakers can be placed in a wide variety of locations in the room to give good performance. -

S-125/S-125C/S-85/S-85C 7. SATELLITE/SUBWOOFER PHASING TEST In any system using a subwoofer separate from Satellite speakers, a phasing test must be performed to insure good bass blending. This test insures optimum sound in the critical bass frequencies where your Subwoofer and Satellite speakers overlap. -

The S-125 and S-125C Satellites contain both the threaded (3/8") insert and 1/4" inserts (1/4-20) located on the speaker's back baffle (the S-125 has two and the S-125C has four). This gives you two options to mount the speaker to either the M&K ST-1 or ST-2 stands or to an OmniMount bracket. -
