5 Installation
Setup instructions for optimum sound —
All speakers sound best when they have plenty of room to "breathe". (Notice show reports how manufacturers place their speakers in the hotel rooms far from room boundaries.) e optimum amount of space is 10 milliseconds for the rst reection. Strive to get as close to the ideal as your room will allow. Because the Mini Maggie is a desk system does not negate the laws of physics.
Bass Panel operating in dipole manner with baing as shown on webpage.
Tweeters on the outside with 1 ohm resistors for attenuation due to near­eld listening.
For better high frequency dispersion, tilt Mini back with rubber bumpers under speaker base.
Use Class AB amplier (We have been disappointed in the little, inexpensive Class D ampliers.)
Place the DWM Woofer under the desk, in the foot well, and far forward to allow room for your feet. (Don't worry if you accidentally kick it. It is not delicate.) However, do not place the Woofer directly against the front foot well panel. A heavy or solid wood front panel that blocks most of the rear wave from the DWM Woofer will reduce bass output since there is little room for the woofer to "breath". A dipole woofer is dierent from a conventional dynamic woofer and may require some experimentation to nd the best placement. Bass response can be enhanced if one edge of the woofer panel can be placed perpendicular to a barrier (reducing dipole cancellation).
