Magnepan MG 1.6 - Manual (Page 2)

1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase. The Magneplanar MG1.6/QR loudspeaker was conceived
and designed for perfectionists. One of the most revealing loudspeakers made, it will provide
outstanding music reproduction when used with high quality components. Due to the elegant
simplicity and ruggedness of the design, the Magneplanar MG1.6/QR loudspeaker will give
many years of trouble-free service.
2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MG1.6/QR consists of a 2-way planar magnetic driver utilizing a common 1 /2 mil. Mylar
diaphragm. The voice grid of the bass section consists of a lightweight aluminum wire. The
Quasi Ribbon Tweeter is made of 1 mil. aluminum foil.
3. 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 return your loudspeakers, but should the
occasion arise, they should not be shipped in any packaging but the original. Should you
discard it, packaging is available.
4. ASSEMBLY
The four support feet for the MG1.6 are shipped in the speaker carton along with the 8
mounting bolts. The nuts for the mounting bolts are already installed in the panel.
The spacers and 4 longer bolts are provided to adjust the vertical angle of the speaker. The
amount of angle will be dependent on your particular listening conditions. Under most
conditions, stacking 2 spacers will be adequate; however, some experimentation may be
necessary.
A. Remove speakers and feet from carton. The 8 mounting bolts are installed in the
speakers.
B. We suggest the assistance of a second person will facilitate the installation of
the feet. Hold a speaker upright on it's side.
C. Remove the 8 bolts from the nuts. Carefully align foot on backside of panel so
holes in the foot line up with the bolts in the panel. Using your fingers, insert a
bolt through the center hole (see Figure 1 if using spacers and long bolts),) until
the bolt engages with the nut in the panel. Care must be taken not to cross-
thread the bolts.
E. Repeat the same procedure for top hole, eliminating the spacers.
F. Tighten all bolts securely.
