MK Sound K-15 K-7 - Manual (Page 3)

1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! Your new M&K speaker system will give you years of unmatched enjoyment and excitement while
listening to your favorite musical and audio/video sources.
We encourage you to read this owner’s manual, as there is a great deal of information provided here to help you
achieve the best possible performance.
If you have any questions about your speaker system, please contact your M&K dealer or call the M&K factory
directly at (818) 701-7010, from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM Pacific Time, Monday through Friday. We will be happy to help
you with any question, no matter how simple or complex it may be. Additional information may also be obtained on our
web site: www.mksound.com or you may send us an e-mail at [email protected].
This manual gives you basic hook-up instructions first, followed by more detailed technical, installation, and
service information.
2. PLACEMENT OF YOUR SPEAKERS
Your M&K speakers can be installed in a wide variety of locations. Their compact size gives you great flexibility
in installation. They can be placed on stands, shelves, or bookcases, or more permanently mounted using brackets,
through direct attachment to a wall, or with a ceiling suspension system.
If you want to mount your speakers permanently using wood screws, their cabinet thickness is 1/2". Do not use
longer screws, as you may damage the internally mounted crossover.
You can place the left and right speakers virtually anywhere in the room, but certain locations are better than
others. In general, locate them away from obstructions that would interfere with the direct path from the speakers to
your ears (such as walls, furniture, lighting, plants, etc.). Center channel speakers should be located close to the
television screen (see Home Theater Usage on page 8). Your speakers will sound better when they are around ear
height, or when angled towards your listening location. They sound better when they are not sitting on the floor.
For more detailed information on placement of your speakers, see Section 5 (page 6).
Your speakers are magnetically shielded. This means that you can locate them close to a television set or even
directly on top of the set.
In some rare instances, a small amount of residual magnetism at a specific angle to your TV set may cause
a slight geometric or color distortion of the picture on your television set. If you do get this distortion, try moving
the speaker slightly until the distortion is reduced or disappears.
Then turn the set off and wait 10 minutes
before turning it back on to trigger the set's degaussing circuitry. If you cannot solve any magnetic problems,
contact the M&K factory.
3. USING THE FLUSH MOUNT HANGER BRACKETS
FLUSH-MOUNT WALL HANGER BRACKETS
Your speakers come with a flush-mount wall bracket that can be attached to each cabinet. There are pilot holes
for mounting the brackets on the back baffle of the speaker. Also included are the matching brackets that attach
directly to the wall, as well as all necessary mounting screws and drywall inserts.
In order to use these brackets, see the enclosed template on pages 15 & 16
and follow these instructions.
NOTE: When the speaker is mounted above the listeners’ heads, make
certain that the tweeter on the front baffle is at the bottom. See FIGURE 1.
