The enclosure incorporates two power amplifiers and an electronic regulator and control system. The heart of the control system is a piezo-electric element incorporated in the apex of the woofer cone, which monitors the cone acceleration and converts it into an electrical voltage. This voltage,which is proportional to the cone acceleration, isfed into a comparator circuit where it is accurately compared with the original amplifier input signal. Despite some fine loudspeaker designs, it has never been possible to achieve ideal cone movement, since both the uniformity of the magnetic field in which the speech coil moves and the freedom of movement of the cone have absolute limits. These imperfections, which are very difficult to eliminate, result in distorted bass reproduction. In the MFB system, any voltage difference detected by the comparator is fed back to the loudspeaker, via the amplifier, as a correction signal. The loudspeaker is thus forced to reproduce the original input correctly. Not only is the bass distortion corrected but, in addition, the low frequencies present in the original signal are reproduced with the correct relative amplitudes. Use of the motional feedback principle has made it possible to reproduce even the lowest notes naturally and powerfully by means of relatively small enclosures.Although the continuously variable input sensitivitymakes it possible to connect the enclosures to any pre-amplifier or power amplifier, it is advisable to use them only in combination with amplifiers having an equivalent specification.Accurate, active cross-over networks and the adjustable filters ensure a smooth and flat frequency characteristic, the specification of the MFB loudspeaker box surpassing by far the requirements laid down in the HiFi standard, DIN 45500.

Note for users in Great Britain When fitting a mains plug to the mains lead, please proceed as follows: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live.As these colours may not correspond with thecolour markings identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows: The brown wire must be connected to the terminalwhich is marked with the letter L or coloured Red.The blue wire must be connected to the terminalwhich is marked with the letter N or coloured black.Note: This apparatus must be protected by a 3 amp fuse if a 13 amp plug is used, or if any other type of plug is used by a 5 amp fuse either in the plug or adapter, or at the distribution board. lf in doubt consult a qualified electrician. Location of the MFB enclosures The location of the loudspeakers should be chosen with care to ensure optimum sound reproduction. Their acoustic properties largely depend on the size, shape, upholstery and furniture of the room in which they are to be placed. As these conditions differ for every situation, it is impossible to provide a uniform solution The most favourable position can therefore be determined only by trial and error. The following hints may be useful. · The distance between the individual enclosures should be approximately the same as that between the listener and the enclosures. · lf the enclosures are placed in corners, against the wall or on the floor, the bass reproduction is reinforced.· Location of the loudspeaker enclosures behind furniture, curtains or heavy textiles should be avoided, as this has an adverse effect on the reproduction of treble notes. · Keep the arrangement as symmetrical as possible. A certain degree of asymmetry can be corrected by adjusting the stereo balance control on the driver unit. · In the case of ambiophonic reproduction with 4 loudspeaker enclosures the above rules apply equally to the enclosures behind the listener. Connection to the mainsAfter making sure that power switch -š is in 'off' position (not-depressed) connect each enclosure to the mains by plugging the mains plug into thewall socket.Connection to the driver unit Irrespective of the type of amplifier or preamplifier being used the connections should be made as follows: By means of one 2-channel audio signal cable A connect the right and left signal input sockets -¡ and -° of one enclosure to the right and left output sockets of the driver unit. If your driver unit has been provided with DIN loudspeaker sockets, a 5-pole DIN connection socket, or screw or clamp terminals, use should be made of adapter B, C or D respectively. Ensure that the connections for 'right' and 'Ieft' are not interchanged! Now connect the right and left signal output sockets ˆ and Å  of this enclosure to the right and left signal input sockets -¡ and -° of the second enclosure by means of the second 2- channel audio cable A Without using this interconnection facility it is, of course, also possible to connect the left and right channel outputs of your driver unit directly and separately to the input sockets of each loudspeaker enclosure by means of only one lead of both 2-channel audio cables A.Attention: Irrespective of the way of connection being chosen the channel selector switch -  on each enclosure should be set to the correct position (read chapter 'Position of switches'). Increasing the power lf a higher power/channel is required, several enclosures can be coupled to one another in theway described above.
