Dear Customer,
Congratulations on your fine new loudspeakers and thank you very much for choosing MAGNAT! You
have made an excellent choice. The high-quality speakers produced by MAGNAT are renowned all over
the world.
Please study the instructions and information below carefully before using your new loudspeakers.
THE MAGNAT QUANTUM 630A ACTIVE SUBWOOFER
When connecting your loudspeaker, please make sure that everything has been switched off.
Furthermore, make sure that all loudspeaker cables are connected to the proper poles, i.e. the positive
pole for the output is connected to the positive pole for the input and the negative pole with the negative
pole. Please also refer to your receiver's/amplifier's and loudspeakers' instructions.
POSITIONING
The frequency range reproduced by the subwoofer cannot be pinpointed by the human ear. That's why
positioning generally doesn't present any problems. However, it is preferable to place the speaker close
to the front loudspeaker in front of the listening position. You should also make sure that the distance from
the sides and from the rear to items and walls is at least 20 centimetres as otherwise bass reproduction
may be impaired.
THE SUBWOOFER'S OPERATING ELEMENTS (FIG. 1)
MAINS CONNECTION (1), MAINS-VOLTAGE SWITCH (2)
The subwoofer is equipped with an integrated amplifier and needs to be connected to a mains outlet by
means of the supplied mains cable. The voltage selector has been set at the factory to 230 V for operation
in Europe.
Warning
: Connecting the subwoofer to a 230 V mains outlet while the voltage selector is set to 115 V
will lead to immediate destruction of the amplifier!
POWER SWITCH (3), POWER LED (4)
The subwoofer is switched off in position "Off" and on in position "On". The power LED is initially red
(standby). When the subwoofer receives a signal from the receiver, it automatically switches from standby
to normal, the LED then turns green. When signals to the subwoofer stop, it will automatically switch to
standby after around 15 minutes. The power switch should be switched to "Off" if the machine is not used
for longer periods of time.
AV INPUT (5)
Connect your receiver's low-level subwoofer output (sub-pre-out) to the subwoofer's AV input (see Fig.
3). You will require a mono-cinch cable for this (not supplied).
Another subwoofer can be connected via the LINK OUT jack (11).
HIGH-LEVEL INPUTS (6)
For connection to the high-level (speaker) outputs of the receiver/amplifier, refer to fig. 2.
