MAGNAT INTERIOR IC LOUDSPEAKERS - SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR CEILING FITTING
Magnat Interior IC ceiling speakers have an ingenious clamping mechanism that enables you to easily fit them into a hole cut into a baffle.
The easiest way is to fit them in a plaster board or similar ceiling. When using an opening in a masonry wall, a plaster or timber board is
also needed.
For the fitting dimensions, please see the technical data given at the end of the manual.
The clamping mechanism is shown clearly in Fig. 1. Loosen the screws and move the clamps to position A.
After placing the appliance in the cut-out hole, tighten the screws. This automatically turns the clamps to position B and tightens them.
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT CONNECTING YOUR MAGNAT LOUDSPEAKERS
Please always use a good quality loudspeaker connection cable from an audio dealer. To prevent impairment of sound quality, we recommend
cables with cross-sections of at least 1 mm² for lengths up to 3 m and at least 1.5 mm² for lengths above 3 m.
Always turn off the amplifier or receiver before connecting or disconnecting loudspeaker cables. Place the loudspeakers in their planned
positions and cut the cables to the right length. The cables for both channels should always be exactly the same length.
Strip 10 – 15 mm of insulation from the ends of the cables and twist the ends. The loudspeaker terminals are equipped with a clamping
mechanism (fig. 2). Press the terminal head down and guide the stripped cable end into the hole on the side. On releasing the terminal head,
the cable is secured, ensuring the best possible contact.
For good sound it is imperative that the cables must be connected in such a way 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 red 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 filaments – this could cause serious damage to your amplifier!
CONNECTING A STEREO AMPLIFIER

TWEETER LEVEL ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 3)
The crossover facilitates individual sound adjustment of the speaker system via high-quality jumpers.
It is advisable to conduct the optimum setting according to your own personal listening preferences. We recommend the following switch
positions as a basic setting for various listening areas:
Listening area
Low
sound-absorbing setup
Normal
sound-absorbing setup
High
sound-absorbing setup
HOW TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR VALUABLE SPEAKERS
All MAGNAT loudspeakers are designed and built for optimum sound reproduction with the tone controls in the central position – i.e. with "linear"
amplifier output. Turning up the bass and treble controls too far delivers more power to the woofers and/or tweeters, and at high volumes this
can actually destroy the speaker units!
Example
Wet rooms, hard reflective surfaces, tiles, large glass areas,
ooms with minimal furniture
Carpets, glass surfaces with curtains, leather objects,
rooms with a normal amount of furniture
Carpets, upholstered objects, heavy curtains,
rooms with lots of furniture
