AMPLIFIERS
MHSAMP-06-WALL 5.1 Channel Integrated Amplifier
MHSAMP-06-CUBE 5.1 Channel Integrated Amplifier
MHSAMP-01 Zone 2 Amplifier
General Information
Models MHSAMP-06-WALL and MHSAMP-06-CUBE are identical except for the equalization circuitry
within the amplifier. This operating manual pertains to both amplifiers and they are referred to as
“Amplifier” in this operating manual. This manual also covers MHSAMP-01, referred to as “Zone 2
Amplifier” in this manual.
The Amplifier is designed to enhance audio performance from audio / video components without requiring
significant manual adjustments. The Amplifier utilizes QSound Lab’s sound processor, QSurroundTM, to
create dynamic surround sound from any stereo matrix encoded signal. The Amplifier incorporates internal
switching mechanisms and sensors to automatically distribute sound to and from the appropriate location
and source. Music can be distributed from the Amplifier to additional rooms through a connection to an
optional Zone 2 Amplifier. The Zone 2 Amplifier can be connected to an additional Zone 2 Amplifier to
distribute music to several additional rooms.
The Amplifier includes equalization circuitry that is designed to optimize the output for specific speakers
utilized in the system.

Connections
Amplifier
The Amplifier provides connections to audio / video components as illustrated below. The rear panel of the
audio / video component connected to the Amplifier requires an audio out feature (speaker or line level).
This audio signal must have variable output, this feature is usually found within the televisions audio menu.
If the system is connected to a fixed output signal, the volume +/- cannot be controlled by the television.
Hookups
Television
Stereo (speaker level)
Stereo (line level)
Note: The Amplifier provides two types of connections from a stereo source: speaker level or line level.
Only one of the two connections will be played through the Amplifier. The most common
connection from a stereo source is speaker level. See diagrams above for connections.

Audio Component
CD Player Connection
Component may be connected through certain stereo components or directly through
the television. If connection is made through the television, the audio out from the
CD player should be connected to the audio in of a video input on the television. Set
television to video input and control volume through the television (television screen
will be blank when operating under this connection). See illustration below:
Video Component
Audio outputs from video components should be connected through the television.
The audio signal is passed through the television to the Amplifier. See illustration
below:
Zone 2 Amplifier
Hookups
Audio Component
The Zone 2 Amplifier connects directly to the Amplifier and will play music from
the audio component connected to the Amplifier. See illustration below:
Video Component
A television can be connected to the Zone 2 Amplifier through an audio cable. See
illustration below:
Customizing Sound Fields
QSurroundTM is a trademark of QSound Labs, Inc.
If you feel the volume of the surround or subwoofer speakers are inadequate, perform the following:
Located on the top panel of the Amplifier are volume adjustments for the surround and subwoofer
speakers. Use a flat head screwdriver to adjust until the appropriate sound level is determined. Note:
optimal position varies based on proximity of listening area relative to speakers.
As all audio / video components have different audio output signals, a volume adjustment may be required:
The Amplifier may have a volume adjustment for the television on the top panel or may be supplied
with a separate in-line volume control (part # MHSLLA-01). The in-line volume control connects to
the television input of the Amplifier. To set the television volume adjustment, perform the following:
With the television connected to the Amplifier, set television volume to the middle of the volume
bar. Using a flat head screwdriver, turn the volume adjustment on the Amplifier or in-line volume
control until the desired listening volume is obtained.
Operating Situations / Tips
Television and Stereo on at same time:
Television has priority and will play through speakers in main listening area.
Once television is turned off, there is a 15 second delay before stereo plays in the main listening area.
In multi-room system, stereo will play in additional zones simultaneous to television in the main
listening area.
Mute Television:
Allows you to listen to stereo source while watching television. If television is muted, stereo will
play after a 15 second delay.
Volume Control:
Main listening area volume is controlled through audio / video component connected to the
Amplifier.

Additional Rooms:
The signal from the audio component connected to the Amplifier will pass though to a Zone 2
Amplifier connected to the Amplifier. Volume in the additional room can be controlled through an
in-wall volume control located in the additional room.
A television signal connected to the Zone 2 Amplifier will override the signal received from the
Amplifier. Once the television signal is terminated, the audio signal from the Amplifier will play
after a 15 second delay.

Placement of Speakers
In-Wall Speaker Placement Cube Speaker Placement
IN-WALL SYSTEM
Center Speaker (4”x 6” Center)
1. Center the speaker as close as possible to the top of the television
monitor. The speaker is magnetically shielded to prevent interference
with the television monitor.
Front Left and Right (6 ½” In-Wall)
2. The left and right speaker should be placed an equal distance from the
center of the television monitor. The speakers should be a least 6 feet,
or as much as 15 feet apart from each other. A reference is to place the
speakers so that they form a 45 degree angle to the listening area.
3. The speakers should be in line with the television monitor or just above
the television monitor.
QSurroundTM is a trademark of QSound Labs, Inc.
4. The speaker is not magnetically shielded and needs to be at least two
feet away from the television monitor.
Surrounds (4” x 6” Surrounds or 6 ½” Ceiling)
Wall Application
1. Placement on the wall directly behind the listening area or on the walls
to the side of the listening area. For best results, place speakers on rear
walls.
2. Placement should be approximately 2 to 3 feet above the listening area.
Ceiling Application
1. Placement should be just beyond the listening area.
Subwoofer
2. For best results, place speakers close to intersecting walls – corner or
wall and floor.
3. The speaker is not magnetically shielded and needs to be a least two
feet away from the television monitor.
4. We recommend placing speakers at same end of room as the television
monitor. An alternative method is to place speakers at opposite ends of
the room.
CUBE SYSTEM
The cube speakers are identical and are used as the Center, Front Left and Right,
Surround Left and Right. Follow same placement recommendations for In-Wall
speakers.
The Subwoofer placement is identical to the In-Wall speakers.
