Safety Precautions For safety reasons please read the following instructions and the enclosed Important Safety Information carefully before attempting to connect your subwoofer unit to the mains. Warning To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture. Caution Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Components in your System Subwoofer Controls MS302 Front Left and Right and Rear Left and Right Loudspeakers 1. Phase Selects subwoofer output to be either in or out of phase (180 degrees). This allows you to optimise the phase of your MS308 to different listening positions and that of other speaker systems used at the same time. 2.
Subwoofer Controls (taking care to observe polarity). A second set of cables may then be run from the High Level Output connections to your front left and right loudspeakers (see Fig. 1 below). 5. Line Input If your amplification system has a dedicated subwoofer line output it should be connected here (see fig 2. below). 6. Power Switches the subwoofer (amplifier) power on or off.
Getting Started Connecting your Loudspeakers Important note 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.
Getting Started MS302 Front Left and Right Loudspeakers Your MS302 front left and right speakers should be placed equidistant to the left and right of your screen far enough apart to ensure good stereo imaging. If they are too far apart or too close to the corners of the room they will sound distracting and distant. It may be desirable to experiment with the 'toe-in' of the units (angling them towards the listening position) to optimize the front speaker soundstage and imaging.
Getting Started Attaching feet to your subwoofer Final System Setup Your MS308 subwoofer comes with feet and spikes which must be fitted to space the down-firing speaker unit the correct distance from the floor for optimum operation Once all wiring connections are complete and you have positioned your Premiere loudspeakers, turn on your amplification system and run the relevant Level Calibration Sequence to establish the correct individual volume level for each speaker channel.
Taking care of your loudspeakers By far the most common cause of loudspeaker failure, and one that is understandably not covered by guarantee, is damage to the voice coils caused by amplifier overload. This is generally due to the common belief that if a speaker is rated at more than the amplifier's output rating, there is no chance of blowing that speaker............. Cabinet Care Cabinets should be dusted and lightly polished as required.
