home theatre system use an RCA phono lead (not
supplied) from the amplifier's LFE OUT to the m3as
LOW LEVEL IN (LFE/R).
Adjust the crossover control to blend with, but not
overlap, your main speakers' bass performance.
For small stand-mount or bookshelf speakers set
the CROSSOVER FREQUENCY control towards the
200 Hz setting.
For large or floorstanding speakers set the CROSSOVER
FREQUENCY control towards the 40 Hz setting.
Adjust the VOLUME control to match the m3as bass
output to the output level of your main speakers.
Consult your owner's manual for the AV amplifier to access the setup menu for your
amplifier's speaker configuration. Set the front, centre and rear channels to SMALL. If
you are using the LFE or subwoofer output, and have made the LFE connection to
the subwoofer, set SUBWOOFER to ON.
Adjust the control on the rear amplifier panel marked VOLUME to tune the bass
impact of Low Frequency Effects when playing Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 / 6.1 channel
sources. Turning the control up will increase the level of bass effects; turn the control
down to avoid a boomy bass.
Adjust the control on the rear amplifier panel
marked PHASE to tune the blend between the
subwoofer and speakers. Depending on your
room acoustics the sound will be fuller and more
coherent with the switch in 0° or 180° position. Use
your judgement to set the switch to the best
sounding position. If you are unsure, set the switch
to the 0° position.

3 positioning The m3ds loudspeakers are supplied for wall mounting, ideally above seated
head height, with the Mission badge the correct way up. If you wish to fit the
speakers flush to the ceiling you can invert the speakers - a separate set of screw
slots are provided
for this. In this case
you may fit the
supplied self-
adhesive Mission
logos over the
existing badges
(see image).
Phase To check that your loudspeakers are in phase, check the polarity of your speaker
wire at the terminal post on the loudspeakers and at the loudspeaker connector
on your amplifier.
The marked conductor should always be connected to the positive terminals.
If your loudspeakers are connected in the right way, you will hear a full sound with
clean midrange and deep and powerful bass.
Setting up Audio Sound Level
It is important that the centre, front and rear speakers are set to the same sound
