V+ S E R I E S S U B W O O F E R S 3. INTRODUCTION CONGRATULATIONS! You have just made perhaps the most exciting and dramatic addition that you could possibly make to your audio system. The new dimension of deep, powerful bass provided by your M&K Sound powered subwoofer will positively thrill and excite you. We encourage you to read this owner’s manual, as there is a great deal of information provided here to help you get the best possible performance from your new subwoofer.
V+ S E R I E S S U B W O O F E R S 5. SUBWOOFER HOOK-UP M&K Sound subwoofers come with line-level phono (sometimes referred to as RCA) connectors. If your receiver or processor has a line-level subwoofer output (sometimes labeled “Sub”, “Sub Out”, “SW” or “LFE”) with phono connectors, use it. This is the preferred connection for your M&K Sound subwoofer. FIGURE 1.
V+ S E R I E S S U B W O O F E R S NOTE: When your subwoofer is switched to the “AUTO ON” position, it will use a slight amount of electricity when in Standby. If you are concerned about power usage, you may want to switch the subwoofer off instead. Switching the unit off is also a good idea if you know that you will not be using it for some time. 6. WHERE TO PLACE YOUR SUBWOOFER M&K Sound subwoofers perform well in most room locations.
V+ S E R I E S S U B W O O F E R S 1. Leave adequate clearance around the subwoofer’s heat sink. Do not cover it with drapes or close it up in an unventilated cabinet. 2. Do not place the subwoofer near baseboard heaters or forced air heating outlets. 3. Do not use your subwoofer outdoors or in an overly humid environment. 4. Do not plug the subwoofer into an AC outlet until all system wiring is complete. 7.
V+ S E R I E S S U B W O O F E R S 8. CROSSOVER CONTROL (V10+ Sub without BLE) All modern Home Theater receivers and processors provide the necessary high-pass and low-pass filtering (bass management) to ensure proper integration of satellite/subwoofer speaker systems. When using your subwoofer with one of these components it is recommended to set the “CROSSOVER CONTROL” on the back of the subwoofer to the “LFE” position.

V+ S E R I E S S U B W O O F E R S 9.2 Volume 1. Volume - Adjusts the Subwoofer level and may be changed in three different ways. The easiest way is to slide the controller dot around the volume adjust ring. For the fine adjustments, press the ‘+’ and ‘-‘ buttons a the end of the control ring. If you know the exact value for the volume, you may click on the value reading and enter a value with the pop-up keyboard. Press ENTER for the value to be accepted. 2.
V+ S E R I E S S U B W O O F E R S 9.3 Crossover 1. Crossover - Selects the low pass filter frequency and is adjustable from 42Hz to 500Hz. 2. Variable/LFE - Toggles between using the app to select the low pass filter frequency and the AV Receiver selecting the low pass filter frequency. 3. Slope - Adjusts the slope of the crossover frequency. The higher the value, the steeper the cutoff. 9.4 Phase 1.
V+ S E R I E S S U B W O O F E R S 9.6 Manual EQ Manual EQ - Allows you to manually adjust the Frequency, Gain and Q of 4 independent EQs. Select the EQ you would like to adjust using the radio buttons labeled “EQ1, EQ2, EQ3, EQ4” then choose the frequency, amount of gain or cut and Q using the sliders. 9.7 Using Auto EQ Auto EQ is used to compensate for and correct for acoustic room anomalies that can cause inferior bass performance.
V+ S E R I E S S U B W O O F E R S 10. USING MULTIPLE SUBWOOFERS Using two or more subwoofers in your system will give you the ultimate in low bass performance. You will hear improved impact and definition, as well as greater output and dynamic range. While all the information in section 4 WHERE TO PLACE YOUR SUBWOOFER should be observed, additional considerations need to be taken into account when using multiple subwoofers.
V+ S E R I E S S U B W O O F E R S 12. TROUBLESHOOTING Your M&K Sound subwoofer amplifier provides high reliability and, in the rare event service is ever required, easy modular replacement of parts. This section of the manual will help you to solve or diagnose most problems that can occur with your subwoofer. In the event that a fuse blowen. ALWAYS replace it with a fuse of the correct value to avoid malfunction of the unit or even a fire hazard. Use of an incorrect fuse value will void your warranty.
V+ S E R I E S S U B W O O F E R S coming from the subwoofer, then the subwoofer is working properly, and the problem is coming from another component. 3. Hum can also be caused by AC ground loops. If the subwoofer is plugged into a separate AC outlet, try plugging it into the same outlet used for your receiver or processor. You might also try reversing the polarity of the AC plug. If none of these suggestions solve the problem, contact your M&K Sound dealer. E.
V+ S E R I E S S U B W O O F E R S 3. Surround Speaker Placement Determine the best position in the room. It will probably be the position directly to the right and left of the main listening position on the side walls (so that a listener in the center seat is directly between the speakers). If that doesn’t work or is not practical because of the room, try these locations: on the ceiling; on the back wall. 4. Install all wiring and interconnects. 5. Connect the subwoofer.
