MK Sound S-150THX Speaker System User Manual


 
When tone controls or equalizers are used to boost frequencies, the problem occurs much more rapidly. Even a
small boost of low or high frequencies can easily double the power requirement and lead to amplifier clipping at moder-
ate levels. Therefore, you should use your tone controls judiciously, avoiding extreme boosts of the bass and treble con-
trols, especially when you are listening at high volume levels.
The best way to avoid speaker damage is to use common sense. Use moderate boosts of tone controls or equaliz-
ers, at the very most. Listen carefully for any harshness and break-up, especially at high volume levels, and turn down
the volume when needed. If you cannot get enough volume, you may need to consider a higher-powered amplifier. If you
have any questions about this, please contact M&K or your local M&K dealer.
10. M&K WALL MOUNT BRACKET AND STAND OPTIONS
We recommend using M&K’s ST series of floor mount stands for your S-250 or S-150 speaker. See Figure 7. These
stands are comprised of several components. For each stand assembly, you will need the base, the leg/pipe, the leg/pipe
cover, and the bracket. For additional flexibility, you may choose to have the pipe custom made to suit your specific appli-
cation.
The use of M&K’s ST-series component stand will allow both vertical and
horizontal alignment. Making the critical speaker alignment process both accu-
rate and simple. Additionally, for even more precise aiming of the speakers, we
recommend using a laser alignment too. This laser too can be ordered direct
from M&K, just visit our web site for more information and ordering instructions.
If using speaker stands is not ideal for your particular application, M&K
also offers ST-Wall brackets, for the greatest flexibility in mounting your S-150
and S-250 speakers to the wall. The ST-Wall/Tilt brackets can be adjusted
vertically and horizontally. The ST-Wall/Fixed brackets can only be adjusted
horizontally. Versions designed for corner mounting, known as the ST-
Corner/Tilt and ST-Corner/Fixed is also available. See Figure 8.
DO NOT MOUNT THE SPEAKER TO THE SHEET ROCK OR DRY WALL
USING WALL ANCHORS. ALWAYS MOUNT THE SPEAKER TO A STUD.
If you have any questions or concerns abouting moutning the speaker,
please contact you local M&K dealer or M&K directly.
For more information on M&K’s full line of brackets and accessories, visit
our web site (www.mksound.com) or see our “Installation Solutions Catalog”.
