HOOKUP

This section covers amplification with a single stereo amplifier. For instruction on bi-
amplification or bi-wiring, refer to Sections 11 and 12.

DIRECT-CONNECT CROSSOVER INSTALLATION

A.

Insert the small connectors in the four output ports of the crossover box, using a
5/64" hex wrench. See Figure 2, Page 4.

B.

Screw the support bracket to the bottom of the crossover box with the 3/8" long
screw provided. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!

C.

Insert and secure the crossover box to the respective connector holes in the
nameplate, using a 5/64" hex wrench.

D.

Locate the lower mounting hole on the speaker panel 5/8" up from the bottom of
the panel, and located on the center line of the nameplate (as shown). Hand-
insert the 3/4" long machine screw. CAUTION: Do not cross thread the screw.
Tighten with a Phillips head screwdriver.

The MG3.6/R features high-current cable connectors which provide optimum contact
area with speaker cables up to 10 gauge. To prepare cables, strip 1/2" of insulation
from the end of the cable. Insert the bare wire into the connector and tighten the set-
screw with the Alien wrench provided. Take special precautions to ensure correct
polarity on all speaker cable connections. Most speaker cables have some sort of
coding on one lead, either printing, colors, or a "rib" to help in maintaining polarity.

Spade lug adapters are available from your Magneplanar dealer for speaker cables
that are incompatible with the Magneplanar high-current connector.
