3 Incorporating a series of patented electronic and loudspeaker developments, home THX is the ultimate in sound for multi-channel home cinema systems. The system was developed after it was realised that conventional audio components could not satisfactorily reproduce movie soundtracks in the home environment.
4 Connecting your MS500 THX Select System Please do not compromise the performance of your system by using infe- rior quality cables. Mordaunt-Short recommends that high quality cables of 16 gauge or higher be used. Your professional dealer will give you good advice.
5 Attaching feet to your loudspeakers Our floorstanding loudspeakers come with feet and spikes that will greatly improve stability and sound quality. The spikes attach to the bottom of the feet with the aid of a threaded guide (fig. 3) There are eight pilot holes on the bottom of the speakers.
6 Each of your MS502’s have a built in dedicated subwoofer amplifier spe- cially designed to deliver powerful low frequencies to the sub-woofer drive unit mounted on the side of each MS502. This integrated system gives the best possible bass reproduction with the minimum of adjust- ments and makes a separate subwoofer unnecessary.
5. V olume This control allows you to adjust the volume of the low frequency output of your sub woofer amplifier for best sound-balance. This adjustment is defeated in THX mode as THX approved surround-sound processors allow subwoofer level adjustments to be done by the processor.
8 SUBWOOFER TUNING FOR OPTIMUM SOUND QUALITY Your MS500 system incorporates subwoofers built into the left and right front speakers to generate substantial amounts of low-frequency energy for a satisfying bass response. In addition the M500 system has been designed to give a substantially flat frequency response.
