Positioning/Initial Set Up - Monitor Audio Mass W200 Owner's Manual

Positioning/Initial Set Up

Leave the MASS W200 unplugged from the mains until the installation
procedure is completed.
The MASS W200 should now be sited in the most suitable position, preferably not directly in the
corner of a room as this may cause excessive bass boom. Once a desirable position is achieved
it is important to check if the cables are long enough to reach comfortably without being under
tension. The optimal control settings will depend entirely on your system configuration, room
environment and personal tastes. For initial trials set the controls as follows:
Volume Control
Frequency Control
Phase Control
Mode Switch
12v Trigger (optional)
Input
Never connect or disconnect the RCA input/ output leads with the MASS W200
switched on.
Set Up
Once the input cables are connected and the controls are set in accordance with the initial set-up
procedure above, the MASS W200 can be connected to the mains power supply and switched
on at the mains power switch.
Do not play any music or movies at this stage as the auto set up of the AV amp (if using one)
will need to be run. If your amp has an auto set up procedure, run this now with the volume set
to around 10 o'clock. This should be enough for the AV amp to acquire the correct settings. If
you do not have an auto set up or are using a stereo amp connected to the left and right inputs,
set the crossover in accordance with your main speakers. If using the MASS 10's this should be
around 80Hz, but experimentation is advisable.
When the auto set up is complete, check that the subwoofer settings on the AV amp are correct.
The crossover frequency should be roughly 80Hz and the level should be no more/ less than +/-
3dB. If not I would suggest adjusting accordingly.
Now play a variety of music/ film excerpts that you are familiar and adjust the level of the MASS
W200 to a point where it integrates with the rest of the system and to where you are happy.
The volume of the amp can then be adjusted to an average listening level once you are sure
everything is working correctly to double check your sub woofer level settings.
