Magneplanar .7 Instruction Manual
Quick Set-Up Instructions
Remove the steel magnetic strip from the front of the speakers. If the fabric
sticks to the diaphragm, use a high tack tape to gently pull the fabric loose
from the diaphragm.
e .7 has exceptional phase characteristics that are accomplished without the
use of compensation networks. To realize the optimum phasing, the .7 should
be angled inward as shown in the diagrams below. (Do not place parallel to the
front wall.) Tweeters on the inside will give a precise image for a single listener.
For a large "sweet spot" and multiple listeners, place tweeters on the outside.
Especially for tweeters on the inside, the speakers must be angled sufficiently
inward as shown in the diagrams below so that the tweeter is not ahead in
time.
Tweeter attenuation may be necessary for rooms with hard, reective walls. See
Section 14 below.
