IMPORTANT: DO NOT CONNECT THE SUBWOOFER’S LINE
INPUTS AND SPEAKER INPUTS AT THE SAME TIME UNDER
ANY CONDITIONS.

2. The speaker’s terminals are
spring-loaded. Push the top of
each terminal down to open the
connector and insert the exposed
wires into the holes in the
spring terminals.
The speaker’s positive spring
terminal is labeled with a red
dot; the negative spring terminal
is labeled with a black dot.
Doublecheck that you connected
amplifier “+” to speaker “+”
and amplifier “–” to speaker “–”.
3. Make sure all the Roto-Lock
toggle feet are retracted so that they
are tucked within the mounting
hole’s border. Insert the speaker
into the hole in the ceiling (Figure
3). The Roto-Lock system can
accommodate a ceiling material
thickness of 1-1/2” (38mm).
4. Tighten the screws on the front
of the speaker baffle. The Roto-
Lock toggle feet will automatically
rotate into position and begin
clamping the speaker (Figure 4).
When you notice resistance on
the screws the speaker has been
clamped successfully.
5. I M P O R T A N T : Always
use low torque settings; NEVER
over-tighten.

NOTE: ADJUST THE TENSION OF THE ROTO-LOCK CLAMPS SO
THAT THE SPEAKER FRAME IS FLAT. THIS WILL HELP ENSURE
THAT THE GRILLE CONTACTS THE CEILING ALL THE WAY
AROUND THE SPEAKER FOR A PROPER FIT.
6. The micro-trim grille is held in place by several small, powerful
magnets on the speaker frame. Place the grille against the speaker
and the magnets will hold it firmly in place. When properly
installed, the grille trim should make contact with the wall all the
way around the speaker.
Speaker Adjustments
MAG6R – Left, Center and Right Channels
MS8 SUB - Connection
Your MS8 SUB will need both AC power and a standard subwoofer
cable with RCA connectors on both ends.
Follow the connection example in figure 6 below for connecting
the MS8 SUB directly to your A/V home theater receiver. You’re A/V
home theater receiver should have a LFE or SUB OUT connector,
the cable from your MS8 SUB should be connected here.
MS8 SUB - Crossover Control
The crossover control on the rear panel of the MS8 SUB (figure 7)
should normally be set to the 250Hz or FULL CLOCKWISE setting.
A/V home theater receivers have built in crossover filters for
subwoofer and satellite speakers. The settings for the crossovers
can be adjusted in the on screen menu for your A/V home theater
receiver. By setting the MS8 SUB in this way the correct crossover
filter will be applied in your A/V home theater receiver and not in
the subwoofer.
If you want to experiment with the crossover control on the rear
panel of the MS8 SUB the variable internal crossover operates
between 50Hz and 250Hz, with a crossover slope of 12dB/octave.
MS8 SUB - Phase Switch
The phase switch on the rear panel of the MS8 SUB (figure 7)
should generally be left in the 0 DEG settings.
When the subwoofer’s PHASE switch is in the 0 position, a positive
input voltage will cause the woofer cone to move out (towards the
room). When the PHASE switch is in the 180 position, a positive
input voltage will cause the woofer cone to move in (away from
the room).
There is no absolute correct setting for the PHASE switch.
Depending on the location of the subwoofer relative to your main
speakers and seating location, one of the settings will produce a
better match with the main speakers, improving bass impact, and
in some cases, improving overall bass level as well.
To determine the correct setting of the PHASE switch, listen to a
movie or music with significant impactful bass content with the
switch in each position, it may be helpful to sit in the normal
listening position while someone else changes the PHASE switch
between 0 and 180. Leave the switch in the position that produces
audibly louder bass with more impact.
The woofer and tweeter of the
MAG6R should be pivoted directly
towards the listening area. To pivot
the drivers apply light pressure to
the ring around the outside edge
of the woofer and tweeter, as
shown in Figure 5. Take care not
to touch or apply pressure to the
cone or dome itself.
MAG6R SUR – Surround Channels
The woofer of the MAG6R SUR
should be pivoted towards a wall
or window, away from the listeners to create a more spacious
surround presentation. To pivot the woofer apply light pressure to
the ring around the outside edge of the woofer, as shown in Figure 5.
Take care not to touch or apply pressure to the cone itself.
