Magnepan MG 1.7 - Manual

Magneplanar 1.7i Instruction Manual
Quick Step-Up Instructions
Remove the steel magnetic strip from the front of the speakers. If the fabric
sticks to the diaphragm, use a high tack tape to gently pull the fabric loose
from the diaphragm.
The 1.7i has exceptional phase characteristics that are accomplished without
the use of compensation networks. To realize the optimum phasing, the 1.7i
should be angled inward as shown in the diagrams in the manual. (Do not
place parallel to the front wall.) For a larger "sweet spot" and multiple listeners,
place tweeters on the outside. Single listeners may choose to place the tweeters
on the inside. If you do, cant the speakers inward sufficiently so that the
tweeter is not ahead of the bass/midrange in time as shown in the diagrams
below .
Tweeter attenuation may be necessary for rooms with hard, reflective walls. See
Section 14 below.
