1. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase. The Magneplanar MMG W loudspeaker was conceived and
designed for perfectionists. One of the most revealing loudspeakers made, it will provide outstanding
music and home theater reproduction when used with high quality components. Due to the elegant
simplicity and ruggedness of the design, the Magneplanar MMG W loudspeaker will give many years
of trouble-free service.

2. PACKAGING

Save all packaging. If you need to transport the speakers, they can be shipped safely only in the
original packaging. You may never have to ship your loudspeakers, but should the occasion arise,
they should not be shipped in any packaging but the original. Should you discard it, you may purchase
new packaging from the factory.

3. INSTALLATION

The MMG W is a multi-channel speaker designed for front channel, side, or rear channel applications.
The MMG W has a frequency response from 100Hz to 16kHz and is intended for use with a
subwoofer. Set your processor or receiver to "small speaker" for the MMG W. Frequencies below
100Hz will be assigned to the subwoofer. The MMG W is designed to be placed next to a wall or
cabinet. The boundary of a wall or cabinet is calculated in the MMG W design to achieve smooth
frequency response to 100Hz.

In front and surround applications, the front of the diaphragm should be faced toward the
listener. The back of the diaphragm contains a wood crosspiece, the front does not.

Melted diaphragms are not covered under the speaker warranty.

Connect the (+) (red) output from your amplifier to the white wire (with red mark) on the MMG W, and
(-) (black) of the amplifier to the all white wire on the MMG W. If the speaker wires are not routed
through a wall or cabinet, "hide-a-cord" channels can be attached to the wall as shown below.

*NOTE: This dimension is for an average person sitting in an average chair. You should adjust the
speaker up or down for your height and seating. Ideally, your ears and the center of the speaker
should be at the same level.

MMG W WALL BRACKET INSTALLATION

1. Locate holes on stud or use hollow wall anchors as shown.

2. Use level to check vertical alignment.

3. Drill holes – 5/16" for hollow wall anchors or 3/32" for wood screws.

4. Fasten brackets to wall as shown.

5. Put rubber washer onto bottom bracket post.

6. Install speaker by setting it on the bottom post while feeding wires through hollow center of
post. Pull excess wire through lower bracket and set speaker on bottom post.

7. Align hole in top of speaker with hole in top bracket and insert clevis pin.

MMG W INVERTED INSTALLATION

The MMG W may be installed in an inverted position (if you wish to have the wires exit at the top of
the speaker). Invert the brackets during installation. Since the pin may fall out in an inverted position,
Magnepan will provide a special friction pin upon request.
