(FIGURE 3) F) Bass Response Switch – Normal (up) or Full Range (down)
G) 80Hz High Pass Filter Switch – In (down) or Out (up). When the switch is in the IN position, a 12dB
per octave 80Hz High-Pass Filter is placed on the input stage of the monitor. The OUT
position bypasses this internal filter. This switch should be in the OUT position when used with any
external bass-management controller, such as an M&K LFE-4, LFE-5, BMC-Mini or any other
component such as a consumer processor that has built-in 80Hz High-Pass filters.
(Note: Engaging Full Range mode automatically bypasses the 80Hz high pass filter.)

7. MODES OF OPERATION
The MPS-1611P is designed to be used either as a “full range” speaker without the use of a subwoofer, or as a main or
surround spekaer in a 2.1, 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1 channel satellite/subwoofer system.
There are six possible operating options with the MPS-1611P. They have been provided so that you may custom tailor the
performance of the MPS-1611P to suit your personal requirements. This flexibility is provided by the various applications of the
port plug, bass response switch (F in Figure 2) and high pass filter switch (G in Figure 2).
For sealed cabinet alignments leave the port plug in the cabinet.
For ported cabinet alignments remove the port plug.
We encourage experimentation with all these alignments and suggest the following as excellent starting points.
When using the MPS-1611P as a main or surround speaker in a stereo or multichannel system with a subwoofer, we rec-
ommend option B.
When using the MPS-1611P as a “full-range” speaker without a subwoofer, we recommend option D.
