Front speakers

1. The MS-8 will then display Xover Setup > Sub, Front. Select Front.

2. The MS-8 will then display Front, with the options 1 way, 2 way, and 3 way. These

options refer to the number of MS-8’s output channels that will be devoted to driving

your front speakers.

Use the Up and Down navigation buttons to highlight one of these options, and

press the Select button to select it. The conguration of your system’s front speakers

determines your choice.

For example: If your front left and right speaker system consists of a pair of coaxial

speakers (one left and one right), or components with their own passive crossover

connected to two of the MS-8’s outputs (either speaker outputs or line outputs

connected to an outboard power amplier), choose 1 way. If your front speakers

consist of a component system where the tweeters and the midranges will each be

connected to separate output channels, choose 2 way. If your front system consists of

separate tweeters, midrange and midbass, with each connected to a separate

channel, choose 3 way.

3. If your audio system does not have a subwoofer, the MS-8 will then display

Front Hi Pass. This screen enables you to choose the subsonic high-pass lter for

the system’s speakers. Use the Left and Right navigation buttons to display a

frequency between 20Hz and 100Hz, and press the Select button to select it. If

you’re not sure which frequency to choose, we recommend using 20Hz. Alternately,

you may want to use this setting to prevent your front speakers from receiving too

much bass, which can cause distortion at higher listening levels. If your front

speakers are 6" or larger, we suggest a setting between 20Hz and 40Hz. If your

front speakers are 5" or smaller, we suggest a setting between 40Hz and 60Hz.

4. The MS-8 will then display Front Hi Pass Slope. This screen enables you to choose

the subsonic lter’s rate of attenuation. Use the Up and Down navigation buttons to

highlight a lter slope, and press the Select button to select it. If you’re not sure

which rate to choose, we recommend using 12dB/octave.

5. If in Step 2 you selected 1 way: Skip to , on page 29.
