1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase. The Magneplanar MG12/QR loudspeaker was
conceived and designed for perfectionists. One of the most revealing loudspeakers
made, it will provide outstanding music reproduction when used with high quality
components. Due to the elegant simplicity and ruggedness of the design, the
Magneplanar MG12/QR loudspeaker will give many years of trouble-free service.
2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MG12/QR consists of a 2-way planar magnetic driver utilizing a common ½ mil.
Mylar diaphragm. The voice grid of the bass section consists of a lightweight aluminum
wire. The Quasi Ribbon Tweeter is made of 1 mil. aluminum foil.
3. PACKAGING
Save all packaging. If you need to transport the speakers, they can be shipped safely
only in the original packaging. You may never have to return your loudspeakers, but
should the occasion arise, they should not be shipped in any packaging but the original.
Should you discard it, packaging is available.
4. ASSEMBLY
The four support feet for the MG12 are shipped in the speaker carton along with the 8
mounting bolts. Install the foot supports on the back of the speakers and tighten the
bolts.
5. HOOKUP
The MG12 features unique, high current connectors which provide optimum contact
area with speaker cables up to 10 gauge.
Simply strip 1/2" of insulation from the end of the cable. Insert the cable into the top set
of connectors and tighten the set screws with the Allen wrench provided. Banana plug
connectors can be used and locked in place with the set screws. Spade lug adapters
are available from your Magneplanar dealer for speaker cables that are incompatible
with the Magneplanar high current connector.
To ensure proper phasing of the speakers, make sure the plus (red) is to plus and
minus (black) is to minus.
