powered subwoofers
In the MX-300, MX-200, and MX-125 Mk II, a full-range signal (including deep bass) is fed to your
Satellites. To roll off (filter) the signal fed to the Satellite speakers for biamplification, you must:
1.
Have a separate amp and preamp OR a receiver or integrated amp that allows you to
separate its amp and preamp stages.
separate its amp and preamp stages.
2.
Use a surround sound processor or receiver that has built-in high-pass filters and a subwoofer
output jack.
output jack.
3.
Add an M&K Electronic High-Pass Filter to your system. See Page 9 for more information.
WIRING WITH THE RCA JACK INPUTS
The "INPUT" RCA jacks on the Subwoofer allow you to directly connect the Subwoofer to preamp-
level components such as surround sound processors, preamplifiers, integrated amps and receivers
with preamp outputs, Electronic High-Pass filters, crossovers, etc.
with preamp outputs, Electronic High-Pass filters, crossovers, etc.
Using these inputs gives you better bass quality than using the speaker inputs (it bypasses your
amp or receiver's amplifier stage). If you don't have a subwoofer output available, you must have
preamp outputs on your preamp, amp, or processor. If you have only one set of preamp outputs, use
a Y-connector to feed both the amplifier and the Subwoofer. In many cases, using a Y-connector may
slightly degrade the Satellite speakers' sound quality. Please feel free to experiment.
preamp outputs on your preamp, amp, or processor. If you have only one set of preamp outputs, use
a Y-connector to feed both the amplifier and the Subwoofer. In many cases, using a Y-connector may
slightly degrade the Satellite speakers' sound quality. Please feel free to experiment.
To connect the Subwoofer in this way, simply run a set of shielded RCA - RCA interconnect cables
from the output jacks on your component to the "FROM PREAMP" jacks on the Subwoofer's backplate.
See Figure 4.
See Figure 4.
FIGURE 4 - USING THE RCA JACK INPUTS
If you have one Preamp Output, connect both the Subwoofer and the Amplifier to it.
