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 ACTIVE SUBWOOFERS OF THE MAGNAT BETASUB RANGE
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. 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D)
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!
