Introduction Congratulations on the purchase of your Lyngdorf Audio MH-1 Mk II. The MH-1 Mk II is an upgraded version of the successful MH-1 which was designed for active speaker system operation. The new Mk II version can also be used as a passive speaker thanks to its newly developed crossover. One of the most open-sounding speakers on the market, this is truly a noble piece of audio art which will form a perfect partnership with any Lyngdorf Audio amplifier.
General tips for setting up speakers Stereo triangle You can use the stereo triangle as a good rule of thumb when placing your speakers. This means the distance between the speakers should be the same as the distance from your listening position to both speakers; in other words an equilateral triangle. Damping If your room… a) doesn’t allow you to get the speakers the required distance from the back and side walls or… b) has highly reflective surfaces (i.e.
Toe-in To achieve optimal sound, try experimenting with ‘toeing in’ the speakers towards the listening position. This achieves two things: a) Fine-tuning of the tweeter level, which is more sensitive to reflections than mid- range and bass output, treble is more directive than midrange and bass frequencies. b) Secondly you minimize side-wall reflections, thereby reducing colouration of the sound.
Connecting The MH-1 Mk II speaker comes prepared for bi-wiring. Please note the following two possible setups. Single-wiring For single-wire connections, the terminal jumpers should be attached as shown in the illustration.
Placement For an optimal listening experience, we recommend you place these speakers a minimum of 2m/6ft from each other, a minimum of 0.5m/1.5ft from the back wall and at least 1m/3ft from any side walls. -IN M FT -IN M FT -IN FT Cleaning Please use a dust-free cloth to clean the speakers. It is also possible to use a slightly damp cloth for more stubborn marks. Under no circumstances should you use any kind of cleaning agent on, or in close proximity to, these speakers.
