Dear Customer,

Congratulations on your fine new loudspeakers and thank you very much for choosing

MAGNAT! You have made an excellent choice. The high-quality speakers produced

by MAGNAT are renowned all over the world.

For best results and to avoid damage please study the instructions and information below

carefully before using your new loudspeakers.

GENERAL NOTES ON CONNECTING YOUR MAGNAT

SPEAKERS

The connectors are located at the rear of the speakers. They are equipped with a

clamping mechanism for cables cross-sections of up to 1mm

. To connect the satellites,

please use normally available 2 x 0.75mm

or 2 x 1mm

loudspeaker cables. The

cables are to be cut to the required length, the ends stripped and the end of the wires

twisted to make it easier to connect them to the terminals.

Always turn off the amplifier or receiver before connecting or disconnecting loudspeaker

cables. For good sound the cables must be connected so that the speakers are “in phase”.

This means that the black negative terminals on the speakers (-) must be connected to the

negative (-) terminals on the amplifier, the positive (+) speaker terminals to the positive (+)

amplifier terminals. To make this easier one wire of most speaker cables is marked with

a coloured strip or a ridge in the insulation.

Before switching on the system double-check all your connections and make sure that the

terminal screws are tight and that there are no short circuits caused by stray wire filments

– this could cause serious damage to your amplifier!

Fig. 4 shows the use of the supplied wall mounts for the satellites.

Tower: Fig. 3 shows how to fit the support.

CONNECTION TO AN AV RECEIVER

Connection of the system to an AV receiver is shown in figure 1 (receiver without a

subwoofer output) and Figure 2 (receiver with low-level subwoofer output).

Note: In the receiver set-up, the front, centre, and rear loudspeaker channels should be

set to ‘small’. Some receivers also provide the option of setting the cross-over frequency

between the subwoofer and satellites. If this is the case, please set this frequency to

150 Hz or the frequency that comes closest to 150Hz. Please consult the user manual

supplied with your receiver.
