Page 4: Introduction
SATELLITE SPEAKER 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 recommend that you leave the grilles on the speakers for all listening. You will note that the tweeter in your LCR-850, Center-850, and LCR-650 speakers is mounted at a slight angle (4.7 degrees). This mounting is an integral part of the High-Frequency Prism System. -

SATELLITE SPEAKER If the center speaker is located horizontally above the TV, the tweeter should be angled up and if the speaker is located below the TV than the tweeter should point down. This does not apply to the Center-851 or Center-651 speaker. -

This speaker often produces more output than the left and right speakers combined. This speaker should be of the highest possible quality, and as similar as possible in response and radiation pattern to the left and right speakers. -

SATELLITE SPEAKER If you mount the surrounds on the side wall behind the listening position, they can be aimed towards each other or angled towards the back wall or the side wall surface directly behind them. By reflecting sound behind the listening position, you may increase the sense of envelopment in the sound. -

USE WITH M&K STANDS & BRACKETS The LCR-850/851/650/651 and Center-850/851 speakers contain threaded inserts on their back baffles. One set has two 1/4-20 inserts and the other is a single 3/8" insert. You can use either of these to securely attach the speakers to an M&K LDM-850/851 stand, and M&K ST-series speaker stand,... -

SATELLITE SPEAKER This clipping distortion occurs when the demands of the music are greater than the amplifier's available power. It can occur at 20 watts with a small amplifier, or at 400 watts with a large amplifier. When this happens, the amplifier's output waveform (which should look like a smooth arc) is "clipped"... -
