Features are only added to MJ Acoustics products
if they are truly useful ones. remote control of a subwoofer
could be argued a bit of a gimick. We would concur to a point
but being able to sit in your listening position and adjust
the setings for gain and crossover mean that setup is acheived
more accurately and much easier than with conventional methods.
ie jumping in and out of your chair to turn the dials.
The remote system supplied as standard to
all reference series subwoofers is very unique and comes as
a two part set.
The RM1 remote control is sculpted to sit securely in ones
hand. With just the right number of useful buttons so adjustments
can be easily performed by simple and light pressure on the
sensitive non slip coating. easy recall of preset memories
are made by a single press of the corresponding P1- 4 buttons.
Each press of the Data button scrolls through the menu items
and the Up and Down buttons either increase or decrease the
relative setting. Finally the blue standby button allows instant
switch off and or an A/B comparison of with and without subwoofer
interaction.
 
The remote eye which looks a bit like a mouse comes with a
2m lead wire which can be extended if required to a maximum
of 100 meters. The body of the eye is weighted and together
with the rubber pad on the underside enables firm non slip
and stable placement on top of vitually any substrate. This
part of the MJ Acoustics unique Out of Sight remote system
enables the positioning of the subwoofer virtually anywhere
in the room. once setup is complete and all settings have
been saved the user can recall each memory without having
to point at the panel on the subwoofer. So if you want to
hide the panel and display and or the whole subwoofer you
can. only the eye needs to be in line of sight for the remote
to work. The three pin 3.5mm jack plug carries power and data
signals from the eye receiver to the microprocessor
in the subwoofer.
Floor placement has become a major issue
these days with some customers having carpeted floors and
some having wooden floor coverings. It should be noted that
the use of spikes is at the users own risk. The hardened steel
spikes supplied have a very sharp point which is tempered
to assist in keeping the point as sharp as possible. With
the weight if the individual models ranging from 10kg to a
mighty 45kg the damage to a wooden floor can be seroius indeed!
The rubber insert feet are provided to decouple the cabinet
from smooth floor surfaces and also remove the likleyhood
of the cabinet from either vibrating causing unwanted noises
or moving across the room. The insert feet have been specially
made to form an inteference fit in the M8 threaded hole in
the base of each foot. Simply push each one in and place the
cabinet down on the floor surface. It is these touches and
attention to the finest detail that seperate MJ Acoustics
from the rest of the competition. nothing provided is surplus
to requirements.
