MAGNEPLANAR ® MMG MANUAL
QUICK SET-UP 1. Remove panels and feet from the carton. KEEP ALL PACKAGING! If you should ever return the speakers to Magnepan, they must be returned in their original carton. There will be a charge if it is necessary to replace packaging. 2. Install the feet on the back of the speakers and tighten the screws. If the little flippers on the ends of the feet do not fall loosely by their own weight, spread their ends apart until the friction is eliminated. 3.
CAUTION – CAUTION – CAUTION 1. FUSING: The speaker terminal plate indicates a maximum fuse value of 4 amps-- Type 3AG (“normal” or “fast blow”). As a precaution, your speakers have been shipped with 3 amp fuses installed. Never bypass, increase the value beyond 4amps, or use “slow blow” fuses in these speakers. Our destruct tests indicate itis virtually impossible to burn out the tweeters if the above precautions are observed. NOTE: Burned out tweeters indicate abuse and are not covered by the warranty. 2.
FINE TUNING 1. BASS RESPONSE: If you do not have access to test equipment play a record orCD with a repetitive bass line. Try the speakers in several positions. Beginexperimenting with the speakers approximately 3 feet from a back wall. Whilelistening to the repetitive bass, move the speaker forward and backward inincrements of about 6 inches. You should notice positions where the bass isstronger or weaker. Avoid positioning the speaker the same distance from a sidewall as a back wall.
4. OPTIONAL TWEETER ATTENUATION: There are several reasons for possibly needing to attenuate the tweeters in your MMGs: 1. Recordings typically in the “pop” or “rock” vein often exhibit a pronounced rise in the treble region. 2. The Magneplanar Quasi ribbon tweeter is very efficient in it’s total energy dispersion. If the surrounding walls are exceptionally reflective, the overall perceived acoustical balance can be tipped toward a “hot” high end. 3. Put A and B together and it can be unbearable.
