About Your Speakers Congratulations on your Kali Audio MM-Series Speakers! These speakers were designed to deliver exceptional sound quality for your enjoyment. We’re confident that no matter what you play through them, you will enjoy their clear, powerful, room-filling sound. Where does “MM” come from? The official name of this product line is “Project Mammoth.” Kali names all of our product lines after towns in California.
About Your Speakers Features Low Noise Port Tube The opening below the woofer on the MM-6 is called a port tube, and it’s there to give your speaker extra bass without requiring a larger, more expensive woofer. Most port tubes create distracting noise that raises the noise floor of your system and muddies the low end. For this reason, most port tubes are on the back of the speaker, which makes it tricky to place the speaker close to a wall.

Inputs and Controls Kali Audio MM-6 Users’ Guide 8
Inputs and Controls Dip Switch Quick Reference Guide The quick reference guide on the back of the speaker can help you set the dip switches to the appropriate positions for your application without needing to consult this manual. Dip Switches The dip switches control Boundary EQ, HF and LF Trim, and whether the left or right speaker is primary. A full explanation of the operation of the dip switches can be found on page 11.
Connecting Multiple Speakers Connecting stereo The MM-6 allows you to connect a stereo (left and right) source to one speaker via the optical, S/PDIF, or RCA cables. The MM-6 will play one channel of audio, and the other channel of audio will be output on the XLR output. This allows you to connect another MM-6 via XLR for stereo sound. Make sure that your device is outputting stereo audio, and not mono, 5.1, or some other format.
Connecting Multiple Speakers Primary Speaker Left (Default) Primary Speaker Right Step 3: Connect the other speaker with XLR Plug the socket side of the XLR cable into the XLR output of the speaker where your stereo input is plugged in. Plug the other side of the XLR cable into the XLR input on the other MM-6.
Connecting Multiple Speakers Connecting multichannel To connect MM-6s in a multichannel system, each speaker will need its own discreet input. You cannot connect more than two speakers using the stereo inputs and XLR outputs. Most multichannel setups will need to use an A/V receiver, or AVR. When selecting an AVR to use with MM-6s, you should select something with an appropriate number of pre-amplifier outputs. RCA outputs are common and inexpensive.
Boundary EQs and DIP Switches One of the most innovative features of the Mammoth Series Speakers are the boundary compensation EQs. These EQs were made to compensate for low frequency interactions that the speakers will have with various surfaces in many common placements. Each set of dip switches controls one aspect of the speakers performance, independent of the other switches. Switches 1-3 control the boundary compensation EQs. Switches 4 and 5 control the LF trim. Switches 6 and 7 control the HF trim.
Boundary EQs and DIP Switches Switches 1-3: Boundary Compensation EQs Position 5: On a Desk, Away from Walls The speaker is on a desk or table, and is more than .5 meters (20 inches)away from any walls. Switch 1: DOWN Switch 2: DOWN Switch 3: UP Position 6: On a Desk, Close to a Wall The speaker is on a desk or table, and is within .5 meters (20 inches) of a wall, without being butted right against one.
Boundary EQs and DIP Switches Switches 4 & 5: Low Frequency Trim The low frequency trim will add or subtract a little bit (2 dB) from the bass response of the speaker. If the sound is overly boomy, cut 2 dB. If the sound is thin or if you feel that you’re lacking bass content, add 2 dB. Switch 4: Engage LF Trim DOWN: LF Trim Disengaged UP: LF Trim Engaged Switch 5: Adjust LF Trim: DOWN: -2 dB in Low Frequencies UP: +2 dB in Low Frequencies Note: Switch 5 does not function independent of switch 4.
Climate Considerations The MM-6’s enclosures are made of MDF wood and wrapped in vinyl, which is sensitive to heat and humidity. The product should be kept and used in a climate-controlled environment. Exposure to direct sunlight, moisture, or consistent humidity above 65% may cause the vinyl to peel and wrinkle. This is not covered under warranty. First Time Setup The MM-6 is made for reference level listening up to about 2.5 meters, or 7.5 feet.
Troubleshooting 1. I opened the speaker, and it is damaged. If you received a speaker that is obviously damaged, please contact your dealer immediately. 2. The speaker is making no sound. • • • • • • Is the speaker plugged in? Is the speaker turned on? There should be a blue LED on the front of the speaker if it’s on. If this light is off, the speaker is turned off.
