OUR MAGICO
MODEL5
LOUDSPEAKERS ARE MANUFACTURED USING AN AIRCRAFT-GRADE ALUMINUM FRONT
BAFFLE AND A BALTIC BIRCH CABINET IN AN ACOUSTIC SUSPENSION ENCLOSURE. THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM IS RE-
ENFORCED THROUGH A CUSTOM-DEVELOPED TORSION ROD TENSION-COUPLING MECHANISM. IN TRANSIT, AND OVER
TIME, THESE MATERIALS EXPAND AND CONTRACT AT DIFFERENT RATES, REQUIRING PERIODIC MAINTENANCE. AFTER
YOU RECEIVE YOUR
MODEL 5s
, AND PERIODICALLY THEREAFTER, PLEASE FOLLOW THE OUTLINED MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURE TO INSURE THAT YOUR
MODEL 5s
ALWAYS PERFORM AT THEIR BEST.
F
IRST, LOCATE THE HOLES IN THE TIGHTENING PUCKS ON THE BACK OF THE SPEAKER. NEXT, REMOVE THE CRANKING
ROD FROM THE ACCESSORY PACKAGE. THEN, INSERT THE CRANKING ROD INTO THE PUCK AND TIGHTEN IT BY
TURNING IT CLOCKWISE AS SHOWN. BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE PUCKS FIRMLY. DO THIS FOR EACH OF THE PUCKS.
WHEN YOU FIRST RECEIVE THE LOUDSPEAKERS, IT MAY REQUIRE SEVERAL ROUNDS OF TIGHTENING BEFORE
ARRIVING AT THEIR OPTIMUM LEVEL OF TIGHTNESS. ACHIEVING THIS LEVEL MAY TAKE A COUPLE OF DAYS. ONCE
THIS LEVEL IS REACHED, THE PERFORMANCE OF THE LOUDSPEAKER WILL IMPROVE NOTICEABLY. FROM THAT POINT
ON, REGULAR MAINTENANCE WILL KEEP THE
MODEL 5s
SOUNDING GREAT.
