2. INTRODUCTION

CONGRATULATIONS! You have just made perhaps the most exciting and dramatic addition that
you could possibly make to your audio system. The new dimension of deep, powerful bass
provided by your MK Sound powered subwoofer will positively thrill and excite you.
We encourage you to read this owner's manual, as there is a great deal of information provided
here to help you get the best possible performance from your new subwoofer. This manual will
give you basic set-up instructions and a system overview followed by more detailed information.
If you still have questions about your subwoofer or your system installation after you have read
this manual, please contact your MK Sound dealer.
3. VOLTAGE SELECTOR AND POWER CORD
Adjacent to the AC power cord receptacle on the back of the subwoofer you will find a voltage
selector switch. This switch is pre-set at the factory for the proper local voltage, so there should
be no need to change the switch setting. For the USA and Canada, the voltage should be set for
115 Volts. For Europe, the UK and Asia, the correct voltage is 230 Volts. Always check to make
sure that your subwoofer is set to your country's voltage. If you have questions about this, contact
your MK Sound dealer.
WARNING: This voltage selector switch must be set to the correct local voltage with the
proper fuse installed. Attempting to operate the subwoofer with the switch set to the
incorrect position or with an incorrect fuse may damage the subwoofer and there is also a
risk of fire. Any such damage is not covered by warranty.
DETACHABLE POWER CORD
Your new subwoofer is provided with a detachable power cord. ALWAYS attach the cord to the
subwoofer first, BEFORE plugging it into the AC wall socket.

4. WHERE TO PLACE YOUR SUBWOOFER

MK Sound subwoofers perform well in most room locations. With a properly tuned speaker
system, you should hear deep bass coming from the front of your system as if your satellites and
subwoofer were one big system rather than separate speakers.
One proven way to find the best location for your subwoofer is to first place the subwoofer at the
listening position. Run music with good bass content through it and then go over to the area
where you believe the final subwoofer placement will be. Listen to how the room reacts to deep
bass being played. As you walk around that area, you should find places where the bass sounds
deep and well defined and places where the bass sounds weak and less well defined. The place
where you hear the tightest bass with the most impact is probably the best location for your
subwoofer.
