Getting Started
Attaching Feet to your Subwoofer
Your MS309W subwoofer comes with feet and spikes
which must be fitted to space the down-firing ports the
correct distance from the floor for optimum operation.
The spikes attach to the bottom of the feet (as shown below
left).
There are eight pilot holes on the bottom of the speakers.
The feet are located and secured here with the wood screws
supplied (below right). Level as required.
Running In
Your new unit will require a total of approximately 10 hours
of normal use to allow the components to settle into their
working routine and reach their optimum performance.
Connecting via Line Input
If your amplification system has a dedicated subwoofer line
output then you should connect your MS309W via the Line
Input on the rear panel using a good quality phono lead.
Note that if your amplification system has a mono
subwoofer line out then use the ‘L’ socket on your
MS309W.
Connecting via High Level Connections
Do not compromise the performance of your system by
using inferior quality cables! Mordaunt-Short recommends
that high quality cables of 16 gauge or higher be used. Your
professional dealer will give you good advice.
Observing polarity is of the utmost importance while
connecting your loudspeakers. Ensure that the red (+)
terminals on your amplification system are connected to the
red (+) on the subwoofer, and black (-) on your amplification
system to black (-) on your subwoofer.
Important Note: Always unplug all A.C. powered
components before making any loudspeaker or component
connections. This will avoid the risk of electric shock or
damage to your equipment
