Magnepan Magneplanar CC3 - Manual (Page 4)

A) GENERAL
The CC3 is designed for use on top of a TV, in or on top of a cabinet. For free-
standing applications where the CC3 will be set on a speaker stand, call
Magnepan for special instructions for this type of installation.
The CC3 may be placed on top of a TV monitor as shown in Figure A. Magnetic
shielding is not required. To achieve the smoothest vertical response, rotate the
adjustment feet located on the bottom of the speaker. Adjust until the CC3 is
aimed approximately at the listener's head, as shown in Figure A.
FIGURE A
B) INSTALLATION IN A CABINET
The CC3 may be placed above or below the TV monitor in a cabinet. If the CC3
is placed in an enclosed part of the cabinet, a space of 12" or more is required
behind the CC3 for damping material. A special damping material is required,
which is available from Magnepan for a small charge.
Starting at the rear of the cabinet, LOOSELY pack insulation in the cavity behind
the CC3. Leave an empty space of about 6 inches between the rear of the CC3
and the insulation.
If the speaker is placed below the TV or screen, the speaker can be tilted
upward by removing the 2 existing adjustable feet. Locate the front T nut shown
in the following diagrams. Use a hot soldering iron to burn a hole in the fabric to
allow installation of an adjustable foot in the front T nut.
Whenever possible, the rear of the cabinet should be vented or left open to
allow the rear wave from the CC3 to escape.
Again, for the smoothest response, tilt the speaker to aim it approximately at the
listener's head as shown in Figure A.
