IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
You should always follow these basic safety precautions when
using your Sonance MAG Concealed TV Audio System, to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons:
1. Read and retain instructions: Read all the safety and operating
instructions before operating the amplifier, and retain them for
future reference.
2. Heed warnings: Adhere to all warnings and precautions listed
on the amplifier and in the operating instructions.
3. Follow instructions: Follow all
operating instructions.
4. Water: Never use the amplifier next to water.
5. Carts and stands: The amplifier should be
used only with a cart or stand that is recommended by the

6. CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THE
POLARIZED PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORD, RECEPTACLE,
OR OTHER OUTLETS UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY
INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.
7. Ventilation: The Subwoofer should be situated so that its
location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation.
For example, the subwoofer should not be situated on a bed,
sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation
openings; or be placed in a built-in situation, such as a book case
or a cabinet, that may impede the flow of air over the subwoofer.
• The amplifier has been exposed to rain.
• The amplifier does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance.
• The amplifier has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
16. Servicing: The user should not attempt to service the
amplifier beyond that described in the operating instructions. All
other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.
17. Lifting: Improper lifting of the 28 lbs. MS10 SUB can cause
personal injury.
18. Power requirement: Do not connect the Subwoofer to the
accessory outlet of any other component. A minimum 15 amp
(20 amp preferred) grounded wall outlet is required.
WARNING: THE POWER (MAINS) PLUG SERVES AS THE
AMPLIFIER’S DISCONNECT DEVICE. THE DISCONNECT DEVICE
SHALL REMAIN READILY OPERABLE DURING OPERATION.
TO ENSURE THAT THE DISCONNECT DEVICE (POWER PLUG)
IS EASILY ACCESSIBLE, THE USER SHALL NOT PLACE THE
AMPLIFIER IN A CONFINED AREA DURING OPERATION.
19. Storms: To prevent damage to components, unplug all
electronic equipment during thunderstorms.
8. Heat: Situate the amplifier away from heat sources such
as radiators, stoves, or other appliances (including external
amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Grounding or polarization: Grounding or polarization are
precautions that should be taken so that these attributes are
not defeated.
10. Power-cord protection: Route power supply cords so that
they will not be walked on or pinched by items placed on or
against them.
11. Cleaning: To clean the amplifier, use “canned air” or wipe
the amplifier with a soft cloth. Do not use solvents, as they may
damage the amplifier.
12. Non-use periods: Unplug the amplifier’s power cord from
the outlet when the amplifier will be left unused for a long period
of time.
13. Object entry: Care should be taken so that objects do not fall
through the opening of the enclosure.
14. Moisture: Do not expose the amplifier to dripping or
splashing. Do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases,
on the amplifier.
15. Damage requiring service: Have the amplifier serviced by a
qualified service personnel when:
• The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged.

BEFORE INSTALLATION
Determine the location for the speakers and Wall Box
(see before you begin below).
Perform an obstruction survey using a stud finder to be
certain that there are no studs, conduit, pipes, heating,
ducts, pocket doors or air returns in the wall cavity that
will interfere with the speaker or SONANCE TV Box.
If you are unsure about obstructions, drill a small hole in
the center of the outline and insert a coat hanger wire
into the hole to feel around for possible obstructions.
NOTE: CONSULT LOCAL BUILDING CODES BEFORE RUNNING
AC WIRES AND SPEAKER WIRES THROUGH WALLS.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Plan your layout of your TV, TV bracket, SONANCE TV Box
and Speakers before cutting any holes.
1. IMPORTANT: Determine the final location where you want
your TV when the install is complete, this will determine
were you place the TV bracket, SONANCE TV Box and
the Speakers.
2. Once you have determined the final install location of where
your TV will be installed measure and mark o with tape the
top and the bottom of where the TV will be installed.
3. Measure from the top and bottom of the marked location to
determine the center location of the TV when mounted and
mark the center location with tape on each side of the TV.
4. Install the TV bracket arms onto the TV, measure and
determine where to mount the TV braket so the TV hangs
in the final location you have previously measured in step
2. Mark the location of the TV bracket.
5. Once you have determined where your TV bracket will
be installed, determine if the SONANCE TV Box will
be installed above or below the TV bracket to best
conceal the SONANCE TV Box but still allows access to
electronics when the TV is installed.
6. Mark the location of the SONANCE TV Box.

SONANCE TV BOX INSTALLATION
1. Determine the center location of your TV first. Use a
stud finder to locate the space in-between two studs
that are as close to the center of your TV as possible.
2. Mark the two studs on each side of the location
determined to mount the wall box. It is recommended
to mound the wall box as close to the center of the TV
as possible. Measure between the two marked studs to
confirm that the SONANCE TV Box will fit (width >= 13”).
3. Use a drywall saw to cut a hole 13 Inches wide and 14
inches tall to mount the SONANCE TV Box.
4. Test fit the SONANCE TV Box into the opening that was
just cut and make any needed modifications to the opening
at this time.
5. DO NOT SECURE THE SONANCE TV BOX WITH
SCREWS AT THIS POINT. CONTINUE TO
INSTALLATION OF MAG6 LCR BELOW.
Sonance speakers feature integral Roto-Lock
®
mounting
system for quick mounting directly into existing walls.
1. Fish speaker wire through the wall into the SONANCE
TV Box openings using one of the provided knock outs if
needed. This needs to occur before the speaker is in place.
2. Strip 1/4” – 1/2” (6mm – 12mm) of insulation from each
speaker wire. Twist the strands or tin the exposed wire
with solder to ensure that there are no stray strands.
NOTE: STRAY STRANDS THAT TOUCH EACH OTHER CAN
CAUSE A SHORT-CIRCUIT THAT CAN DAMAGE THE AMPLIFIER.
3. The speaker’s terminals are spring-loaded. Push the top of
each terminal down to open the connector and insert the
exposed wires into the holes in the spring terminals. The
speaker’s positive spring terminal is labeled with a red dot;
the negative spring terminal is labeled with a black dot.
Double check that you connected amplifier “+” to speaker

GRILLE PAINTING INSTRUCTIONS
Before You Begin
The MAG6 LCR grilles completely cover the exposed speaker
frame, so only the grilles (not the speakers themselves)
require painting.
IMPORTANT: If the wall is painted after MAG6 LCR Speakers
are installed, remove the speakers before painting. The
speaker flanges must be masked before painting the wall.

Preparing the Grilles for Painting
Carefully remove the scrim cloth from the underside of the
grille. The scrim cloth is held in place with a light tacking
glue. Use a heating agent such as a heat gun or hair dryer
to soften the glue and carefully remove the cloth, since you
will need to replace it when you’re done painting the grille.
Be careful not to deform the cloth’s shape while removing
it - this will make it very dicult to properly replace the
cloth on the grille. Remove any adhesive residue from the
back of the grille before beginning painting.
Painting the Grilles
1. Prime the grille with a metal primer/bonder in a spray can
carefully follow the manufacturer’s directions on the can
and apply very lightly to not clog the grille.
2. We recommend using water-based latex paint on the
grilles. Thin the paint with a proper thinning agent to
a ratio of 1:1 paint-to-thinner, and strain it through a
standard mesh strainer to remove any lumps.
3. Use a small touch-up gun or cap-spray gun with a #3 tip
for painting.
(A) Set the nozzle with a medium to wide fan
(B) Set the pressure regulator to 60psi
(C) Lightly spray the front of the grille in 3 quick
strokes from approximately 10 inches away
(D) Let the paint set for a minute, then turn the grille
90º and lightly spray the grille again in 3 quick
strokes. Repeat this step until all four sides of the
grille have been evenly painted.
4. While the paint is still wet, inspect the grille and make
sure that excess paint has not collected underneath the
grille frame, and that none of the grille perforations are
filled with paint. If any are, use compressed air to blow
the paint out of the perforations.
IMPORTANT: If you find any grille perforations that are
plugged with paint after the paint has dried, use a straight
pin or sewing needle to carefully remove the paint.
5. Once the paint has thoroughly dried, replace the scrim cloth
on the back of the grille and mount the grille on the speaker.
