Questions, Answered
Everything You Need to Know
What is included in the MK 5.1 system?
Cinema 5.1 includes four MK103 speakers, one MK203 center speaker, one SUB-12 powered subwoofer and a Denon AVR-X580BT AV Receiver. Compact 5.1 includes five MK-103 speakers, one SUB-12 powered subwoofer and a Denon AVR-X580BT AV Receiver.
What is the difference between Compact 5.1 and Cinema 5.1?
Cinema 5.1 uses the dedicated MK203 center channel and SUB-12 powered subwoofer. Compact 5.1 uses MK-103 across all five speaker positions with a SUB-12 powered subwoofer for smaller rooms and more flexible placement.
Can the speakers be wall mounted?
Yes. The compact MK speakers are wall-mount ready, so placement can be adapted around the screen and listening position.
Does the system require speaker wiring?
Yes. The speakers connect to the included AV receiver with speaker wiring, and the powered subwoofer connects separately.
What room size is this system suitable for?
Compact 5.1 is intended for apartments, bedrooms and smaller living spaces. Cinema 5.1 is the stronger choice for larger living rooms or a more dedicated movie setup.
Is the AV receiver included?
Yes. The MK systems include a Denon AVR-X580BT AV Receiver.
Which finish options are available?
Compact 5.1 is available in Black or White. The White system uses a White MK103 as the center channel because MK203 is not currently available in white.
What should I know about delivery and warranty?
Delivery timing and warranty coverage are confirmed for your destination during purchase. Contact Arden Audio before ordering if you need region-specific details.
