  • Page 6: Inputs And Controls

    the music is playing, move around the room in areas that you think might be good locations for the subwoofer’s final placement. Try to locate an area that responds well to the music being played by the subwoofer. Listen for even, well-defined, low frequency response.
  • Page 7 A) Mono Balanced Input - 61K Ohms balanced input connector - 200mv in produces 90dB of output (Reference/THX input sensitivity mode). Pin Polarity: 1. Ground 2. Plus 3. Minus B) Variable Low-Pass Filter - 50Hz to 125Hz, 36dB per octave low-pass filter.

  • Page 8: Response And Sensitivity Adjustments

    RESPONSE AND SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENTS M&K Professional subwoofers feature user adjustable response, sensitivity and crossover adjustments in order to allow for easy integration into any monitoring system or acoustical space. Make sure to use the settings that best match your specific components so that double filtering does not occur and that the most accurate response is achieved.
  • Page 9: Speaker Calibration

    Following are the tones found on the M&K test disc: Track one: Band limited Pink Noise from 500Hz to 3kHz recorded at –20dB FSD. Use this tone to calibrate your main and surround (satellite) speakers. Track two: Band limited Pink noise from 40Hz to 80Hz recorded at -20dB FSD. Use this tone to adjust your subwoofer level. Track three: 1 kHz sine wave recorded at –20dB FSD.
  • Page 10: Logic Behind Bass Management

    Too many so-called "music" loudspeakers are designed with a philosophy that all recordings should sound as if the music comes from a stage 10 or 20 rows distant, even if a recording is closely miked with performers as close as a few inches from the micro- phones (as is often done on film soundtracks, especially for dialog).
  • Page 11: The Four Major Advantages Of Using Bass Management

    are doing stereo 2 channel mixes, especially with smaller nearfield monitors placed on the console, can benefit immensely from the correct integration of Bass Management and a subwoofer; because the engineer is now able to hear low frequency anomalies caused by room rumble, microphone stand thumping, breath pops, and other artifacts that cause undesirable actions later in the broadcast, film chain, or CD and DVD Mastering process.
