5. The MNCS system may be connected two ways depending on the
amplifier used with the system. The major difference is the subwoofer
connections.
•
An amplifier with a subwoofer output connection, usually a RCA type
connector would be the preferred connection when used with the MNCS
subwoofer (see figure 3). A shielded audio cable is required for this
setup with a Y-adaptor connecting the audio cable to left and right “LINE
INPUT” on the subwoofer.
•

•
The other option requires the front left and right speaker cables be
routed from the amplifier through the subwoofer to the speakers. The
wires from the amplifier should be connected to the “HIGH LEVEL
INPUT’ and the cables going to the speaker should be connected to the
“HIGH LEVEL OUTPUT” on the subwoofer (see figure 4).

6. IMPORTANT! Make sure there are no loose strands of wire touching
each other across the speaker or amplifier terminals. This can create a
short circuit and damage your electronics.
7. Plug your amplifier or receiver in, turn it on, and enjoy your new music
system.
SETTING UP THE SYSTEM
Use the settings on the amplifier/receiver for the MNC. If a separate
subwoofer is being added, the volume and crossover frequency will need to
be set (see notation under MNCS setup).
The MNCS system will require setting up the front, center, and rear speakers
as recommended in your amplifier/receiver instruction manual. The
subwoofer provided with the system allows setting of the phase, volume,
crossover frequency, and an auto power control.
•
The phase switch is set for the best bass sound. Switch between the 0-
180 position until the bass is loudest. In some applications, there may be
no noticeable difference and in this case leave the switch in the 0
position.
•
The crossover frequency can be set between 40 and 180Hz. It is
recommended that the control be set to 180Hz with the mini-cube
speakers.
• The volume control should be set to the desired bass level for the
system.
