frequency response at the listeners' ears. It produces the flattest overall frequency response with your wall- or ceiling-
mounted SW speaker. This position is sometimes referred to as the "German" sound.
LOW CUT (HIGH PASS FILTER) / WIDE RANGE TERMINALS (SW-85 and SW-95 only)
BASS ROLL OFF
Your M&K SW series speaker has very high power handling for an architectural speaker. But it is possible to overdrive
the woofer with deep bass signals, especially when you are using a high powered amplifier. This is the reason for the
BASS ROLL OFF terminal. Using this terminal introduces a built-in filter that reduces (rolls off) the speaker's bass
output below 80 Hz (at 6dB per octave). This can be helpful when you are using a separate subwoofer.
If you are not using a subwoofer, however, this filter will produce an audible reduction in bass output. Many listeners will
prefer the sound of the speaker without the filter. Therefore, for most systems, we recommend using the NORMAL
terminal. This gives you the natural roll off of the speaker and will give you the best sound quality in almost all cases.
NORMAL
As we say above, the NORMAL terminal gives you the natural roll off of the speaker without any additional reduction of
bass. If you do not have a subwoofer and are not using a high-powered amplifier to play the system at high volume
levels, we recommend that you use the NORMAL terminal.
If you have a separate electronic high-pass filter (such as the M&K BMC-MINI), always use the NORMAL terminal, as
you do not want to have both the separate and built in filters operating simultaneously. This also applies if your
amplifier or controller has built-in high-pass filters (such as THX-approved components and AC-3 units).
REMOTE SWITCHING OF VARIATIONS OF SOUND (SW-85 and SW-95 only)
If you run wire with multiple conductors to your speakers, you can switch between the various choice of tonal quality by remote
control. You need a four-conductor wire to make all of the switching options available. You also need an amplifier switcher that
will allow you to choose to feed the amplifier's (+) output to one of two terminals and the amplifier's (-) output to one of two other
terminals.
