If needed,the enclosed stand allows you to tilt the speaker across a

25-degree range (i.e.,18° maximum up and 7° maximum down),as

shown in Figure 3.

Important!

Do not exceed the tilt range.Doing so may cause the speaker to fall

out of its stand.

FIGURE 4This example shows how to connect bare wires to the

terminals.Banana plugs may also be inserted directly into the rear of

the connector.

IRING THE

YSTEM

After placing the speaker,you are ready to connect it to your system.

First,turn off all audio-system power.Use high-quality speaker wire

to make the connections.Consult the owner’s manuals,included with

your amplifier or receiver,for connection and operation procedures.

Surround Modes...

When using the Prelude MTS Center in a Dolby* Digital or DTS®

home-theater system,make sure the receiver’s/processor’s center-

channel speaker modes are set to“Small”. When using the Prelude

MTS Center in a Dolby Pro Logic* home-theater system,make sure

the receiver’s/ processor’s center-channel mode is set to“Normal”.

Wiring and Polarity...

The Prelude MTS Center speaker has gold-plated terminals that

can accept either bare wire or banana connectors.To ensure proper

polarity,connect each +terminal on the back of the amplifier or

receiver to the respective +(red) terminal on each speaker,as shown

in Figure 4.Connect the –(black) terminals in a similar way.See the

owner’s manuals that were included with your amplifier or receiver to

confirm connection procedures.

Important!

Do not reverse polarities (i.e.,+to –,or –to +) when making

connections.Doing so will degrade the imaging and bass response of

the home-theater system.

After correctly placing and wiring the Prelude MTS Center and the

rest of your speaker system,adjust the levels for all of the channels

as recommended by the manufacturer of your receiver/processor.
