S-5000 & S-150 satellite speakers There is a four hole mounting pattern on the rear baffle to accommodate either an Omnimount mounting bracket.

OPTIMIZING SPEAKER PLACEMENT The sound quality produced by your speakers can be significantly enhanced by careful attention to their placement. You will get the maximum return in sound quality for your investment in the by following these guidelines as closely as possible. - Page 6 S-5000 & S-150 satellite speakers 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 your main listening position.

Page 10: Satellite/Subwoofer Phasing Test
S-5000 & S-150 satellite speakers The foam that is located inside the speaker grille is very important. 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. -

S-5000 & S-150 satellite speakers 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. -
