Connecting your Loudspeakers
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 speaker, and black (-) on your
amplification system to black (-) on your speakers.
If your speakers are wired incorrectly they will be out of
phase and sound hollow and indistinct, with a weak bass.
Re-check your connections for correct polarity and reverse
the connections if necessary.
Positioning your Loudspeakers
Properly placed, your Mordaunt-Short Premiere
loudspeaker system will provide an excellent, wholly
satisfying sound. However, with each room varying in size,
dimension and layout, it will be necessary to experiment
with the placement of your loudspeakers in order to gain
optimum performance. A typical set-up is shown below.
1. MS302 Front
2. MS302 Rear
3. MS304 Centre
4. MS308 Subwoofer

Getting Started
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
