    before further use. Avoid impact, stress or extreme pressure to the cabinet
    No user serviceable parts inside – Do not open the panel – refer all servicing to qualified service personnel

    Safety

     Check for correct mains voltage and condition of Fig.8 lead before connecting to power outlet
     Ensure speaker wires and/or signal leads are in good condition with no shorts or damaged plugs
     Do not allow any foreign objects to enter the case or through the ventilation grilles

    Placement

     Keep out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources


     Avoid damp or dusty environments
     Position on a level, stable surface, ideally against a wall or in a corner
     Avoid sharp objects protruding through the front grille cloth or speaker cone
     Ensure adequate access to controls and connections

    Cleaning

     Use a soft dry or slightly damp cloth to clean the cabinet as required
     Use a vacuum cleaner to clear the rear heat-sink of any dust or debris build-ups
     Do not use strong solvents for cleaning the unit

    Connection

    Connect the M8S to the mains using the mains lead supplied or an equivalent, good quality fig.8 mains lead.
    Ensure that the mains voltage is as stated on the rear panel and the outlet has sufficient capacity to operate the sub.

    Determine how the sub unit is to be configured. If already operating a stereo amplifier with 2 speakers, the M8S can be
    configured to “tap off” a signal from the amplifier output without affecting the power output of the left and right
    speakers.

    Simply connecting the Left and Right amplifier outputs to the “AMPLIFIER HI LEVEL IN” terminals on the M8S and then
    from these terminals onto the left and right speakers effectively connects the M8S between the amplifier and speakers,
    which can simplify wiring, removing the need for a separate signal lead to the sub unit.

    Alternatively, if a separate line level audio signal is available, connecting left and right RCA cables to the “LINE IN”
    connectors is preferred (left and right signals are fed independently to the speaker and are not electrically summed)

    With the VOLUME control turned fully down, switch on the power on the rear panel. Once powered up, gradually turn the
    VOLUME up part way and play a signal through the system. Increase VOLUME as required to balance with top speakers.

    Rotating the FREQ control will vary the cutoff frequency of the internal active crossover circuit. The ideal setting depends
    upon the program material, types of top speakers used and personal preference. Lower settings may require higher
    VOLUME adjustment to compensate for the extra frequencies that are removed from the signal.

    Take care not to drive the sub unit too hard (usually denoted by a “knocking” or “flapping” noise from the speaker cone).
    Sub bass is difficult to hear over full range speakers and should be almost imperceptible in operation, simply adding
    warmth and fullness to the sound.

    At the lower right-hand side of the rear panel is a selector switch marked “AUTO ON – ON”
    Selecting AUTO ON puts the M8S into an energy saving standby mode when no signal is present and automatically
    switches power to the amplifier when a signal is detected.
    Selecting ON keeps the amplifier powered up constantly.

    The front grille frame is removable for studio monitor applications or where the speaker cone may not need protecting.

    Before powering down, turn the channel gain controls fully down to avoid loud noises when switching off.

    Troubleshooting

    Ensure IEC inlet is connected to mains and mains lead is in good


    condition
    Ensure mains outlet is switched on
    No power light on rear panel Ensure POWER switch is on
    Check mains fuse and replace if necessary with an approved type T1A
    fuse 5x20mm.
    If fuse keeps blowing, seek advice from qualified technician
    Check line input signal and connection leads
    Check HI LEVEL IN speaker leads are connected correctly and if top
    L+R speakers are operating correctly
    Power light is on but no output
    Ensure VOLUME level control is not turned fully down
    Ensure signal has some bass content and FREQ is not turned down too
    far
    Output is very distorted or “flapping” Turn down the input level from audio source
    sound is heard from speaker cone Turn down channel VOLUME level control
    Ensure input source is high enough
    Ensure signal has enough bass content
    Output is working but at very low level
    Turn up FREQ control to check if set too low
    Turn up VOLUME level control

    Errors and omissions excepted.
