The best way to avoid speaker damage is to use common sense. Use moderate boosts of

tone controls or equalizers, at the very most. Listen carefully for any harshness and break-up,
especially at high volume levels, and turn down the volume when needed. If you cannot get
enough volume, you may need to consider a higher-powered amplifier.

If you have any

questions about this, please contact M&K, and we will be happy to discuss it with you further.

12. If You Need Service

Contact your dealer or M&K with a complete description of the problem. Please have the

unit's model and serial numbers (found on the back of the cabinet), date of purchase, and your
dealer's name. You can call M&K between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM Pacific Time, Monday through
Friday, at (818) 701-7010. If you call outside these hours, leave a message, and we will return
your call promptly or you may send us an e-mail to service@mksound.com.

DO NOT RETURN YOUR SPEAKERS TO THE FACTORY FOR 

SERVICE WITHOUT OBTAINING PRIOR AUTHORIZATION

All M&K Satellite speakers carry a ten year limited parts and labor warranty on the speaker

drivers and five year limited warranty on the power amplifer. This warranty is transferable to new
owners from the date of original purchase.

It does not cover abuse, misuse, repairs by

unauthorized service stations, speakers without M&K serial numbers, speakers not sold by
authorized M&K dealers, and those damaged in shipping or by accident. If you have any
questions about the warranty, please contact M&K.

13. Cabinet Maintenance

Treat the cabinet as you would any piece of fine furniture. Its black vinyl finish does not

require any special maintenance; regular dusting with a lint-free cloth and periodic cleaning is
all that is required. Do not use any solvent based cleaners, as they may damage the cabinet
surface.
