Dear MAGNAT Customer,
Congratulations on your ne 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.
Please study the instructions and information below carefully before using your new loudspeakers.
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT CONNECTING YOUR MAGNAT QUANTUM 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 2.5 mm² for lengths
up to 3 m and at least 4 mm² for lengths above 3 m.
Always turn off the amplier 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. Twist the ends – this is much better than tinning
them with solder – insert them in the terminals and tighten the terminal screws rmly. (Fig. 1)
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 amplier, the red positive (+) speaker terminals to the positive (+) amplier
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 laments – this could cause serious
damage to your amplier!
THE MAGNAT QUANTUM LOUDSPEAKERS IN STEREO MODE
In the ideal conguration the speakers and the listening position should form an equilateral triangle. When
the left and right speakers are the same distance from the listening position their sound arrives at the
same time, resulting in a harmonious, natural music reproduction. (Fig. 2)
There should be a clear line of sight between the loudspeakers and the listening position. Any sound-
absorbing or reecting obstacles in the path will distort the sound. When you install the loudspeakers the
following distances should be maintained:
Quantum oorstanders: at least 20 cm away from the rear wall and at least 30 cm from the side walls.
This will prevent excessive emphasis of the bass range.
Quantum bookshelf speakers: shelf loudspeakers should also be as free-standing as possible, the
distance to the sides and rear to walls and items should be at least 10 cm, the tweeters should be located
at ear height.
Spikes (Quantum oorstanders): you should use the supplied spikes when setting the speakers up.
This isolates them from the supporting surface, preventing unpleasant resonance effects. You can
choose between metal and hard rubber spikes for the standing speakers. The spikes are screwed into
the threaded bushes on the bottom of the speaker.
MAGNAT QUANTUM LOUDSPEAKERS AS A FRONT OR REAR LOUDSPEAKER
The front loudspeakers are positioned at ear height on the left and right as equidistant from the television
as possible. The rear loudspeakers are placed at ear height or a little above on the left and right besides
or better behind the listening position. (Fig. 3)

MAGNAT QUANTUM 677, 675, 673 – BI-WIRING AND BI-AMPING
Bi-wiring means using separate cables to carry the high and low audio frequencies. Bi-amping takes this
idea one step further and uses separate power ampliers as well as separate cables for high and low
frequencies. Bi-amping in particular produces an additional improvement in sound reproduction quality.
The special connection terminals of the Quantum loudspeakers support both conventional connection
and operation in bi-wiring and bi-amping modes. There are four screw terminals on each speaker. The
top pair are for the tweeter (high frequencies), the lower pair for the woofer (low frequencies). The
factory-installed metal strips connecting the positive and negative terminals are for conventional 2-wire
connection and must be removed for bi-wiring and bi-amping operation. The pictures below show the
correct set-up for conventional operation (Fig. 4a), bi-wiring (Fig. 4b) and bi-amping (Fig. 4c).
MAGNAT QUANTUM CENTER 67
The Quantum Center 67 loudspeaker visually and acoustically ideally matches the other Quantum
models. The loudspeaker is placed immediately on or under the television set. Otherwise please adhere
to the general recommendations outlined in the previous chapters.
MAGNAT QUANTUM 6725A
The Quantum 6725A active subwoofer visually and acoustically ideally matches the other loudspeakers
in the Vica series. Please refer to the separate operating instructions supplied with this product.
CONNECTING TO AN AV RECEIVER
Figs. 5 and 6 show two different methods of connecting to AV receivers.

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” amplier 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!
If the output of your amplier is signicantly higher than the rated power handling capacity of your
speakers extremely high volumes can physically destroy your speakers. This doesn’t actually happen
often but you should be aware that it is possible.
Weak ampliers with low output ratings can actually be more dangerous for your speakers at medium
volumes because weak ampliers may overload much faster than powerful ones and this causes
measurable and audible distortion, which is extremely dangerous to your loudspeakers.
Always turn the volume down immediately as soon as you hear distortion! If you like listening to loud music
make sure that your amplier can deliver at least as much power as the speakers’ power-handling rating.
THE SOUND YOU CAN’T HEAR...
Ampliers, tuners and CD players can all produce inaudible high-frequency signals – and this doesn’t
only apply to cheap products. If your tweeters fail at low or medium volumes you should have a qualied
technician check your system components for dangerous inaudible signals.
