Micca MB42X 4-Inch 2-Way Loudspeaker

Thank you for purchasing the Micca MB42X

Bookshelf Speaker! This product has been

designed for optimal audio reproduction

performance in a variety of home

entertainment configurations, with accuracy,

clarity, and impact that discerning

audiophiles listen for.

Please take the time to become familiar with

the MB42X and the placement options as

detailed in this manual.

General Recommendations

Height - For stereo listening from a fixed

listening area, the MB42X should ideally be

placed at the ear-level of the listener, with the

listener comfortably situated in the listening

location.

Separation - The distance between a pair of

MB42X speakers should be shorter than the

distance from the speakers to the listener. Tilt

the two speakers inward toward the listener

slightly for best results.

Orientation - The speakers provide the best

results in its normal vertical orientation. When

the speakers are placed much higher or much

lower than the recommended ear-level height,

the speakers can be placed on its side to

provide better off-axis performance in these less

than optimal placements.

Usage-Specific Recommendations

Bookshelf Speakers

When placed on bookshelves, it is important to

keep both speakers at the same height. Avoid

placing the speakers at different heights as this

will degrade the sound. Speaker height should

be selected so that it is as close to ear level as

possible while considering whether listeners will

be seated or standing in the listening area.

Stereo Speaker on Stands

When used with speaker stands, it is important

to select speaker stands that place the speakers

to the ear level of the listener. Do this by

measuring the height of the listener’s ear when

seated in the listening area, and subtracting 6

inches. For example, if the listener’s ear is

measured at 36 inches from the floor when

seated, select speaker stands that are

approximately 30 inches high.

Desktop Near-field Monitor

The MB42X can be used as desktop/near-field

monitor speakers, such as when placed to the

either side of a display or mixing console. If the

MB42X cannot be located near ear level,

Monitor isolation wedges like the Auralex

MoPAD, as well as inexpensive alternatives, can

be used to slightly tilt back the speakers, and to

decouple the speakers from the desk surface.

Be aware that the MB42X is not shielded and

thus should not be placed in proximity to CRT

displays or other magnetic-sensitive equipment.

Speaker Wire

The MB42X should be connected to the

amplifier with good quality oxygen-free copper

speaker wire for best performance.

The gauge or thickness of the speaker wire can affect the performance of the MB42X. Always choose a speaker wire of the appropriate gauge to prevent excessive speaker wire resistance. Using undersized speaker wire can result in lose of volume, detail, and dynamic range.
