They include a powerful MPT (Mark Proprietary Technology) power amp with a precise and focused response on low frequencies and a quick control of distorsion. 3
as SERIES CONTROL PANEL MASTER LEVEL (1) This is the MASTER Volume level. CLIP (2) Clip indicator LED. This indicator allows you to visually monitor the volume level of the loudspeaker. LED OFF: compressor/limiter is not engaged. LED ON for a few moments: brief engaging of the compressor/limiter, inaudible to the ears - you are approaching maximum power output, and the speakers are being protected. LED ON: the audio signal is too high, and you should lower the output level of your audio source, or turn the level knob counterclockwise. PHASE (3) Phase inversion 0-180. In some installations, the subwoofer may be out of phase with the satellites. This switch allows you to reverse the phase of the subwoofer and align the system; ON (4) Power status indicator LED; RIGHT (5) and LEFT (8) INPUT XLR Line XLR input, the XLR 3-pole female jack is electronically balanced (hot pole: #2). You can use unbalanced sources only if your cables have pole 3 jumpered to pole 1. Important: when powering up, turn on your sound source (CD player and mixer, for example) before turning on the Markaudio cabinets. When powering off, turn the cabinets off first; RIGHT (6) and LEFT (9) GROUND LIFT These switches may be needed for the cancellation of hum due to ground loops with other apparatuses; RIGHT (7) and LEFT (10) LINK XLR Line out to connect more subwoofers downstream from the principal system. This 3-pole male XLR jack receives a female XLR plug (7) and sends out a passive signal; 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 4
COOLING (11) Forced ventilation stabilizes the working temperature of electronic components for continuous performance, even after a long period of operation. Avoid using the loudspeaker on irregular surfaces that might block the vents; AC POWER SOCKET (12) VDE power jack for connecting the power cable from the unit to a wall power source. Make sure the unit is grounded; all three terminals of the AC power plug must be connected to avoid any injury to the user or damage to the unit. Markaudio powered speakers and amps are manufactured to be used in the country where they have been sold, and are factory preset to that country s voltage. So make sure you re sending the correct voltage to your amp before you connect it to AC power. FUSE (13) Fuse housing; ON/OFF SWITCH (14) On/off power switch. 11 12 14 13 5
