Dear MAGNAT 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.
MAGNAT INTERIOR IC LOUDSPEAKERS - SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR CEILING
FITTING
Magnat Interior IC ceiling speakers have an ingenious clamping mechanism that enables you
to easily fit them into a hole cut into a baffle. The easiest way is to fit them in a plaster board
or similar ceiling. When using an opening in a masonry wall, a plaster or timber board is also
needed. For the fitting dimensions, please see the technical data given at the end of the
manual.
The clamping mechanism is shown clearly in Fig. 1. Loosen the screws and move the clamps
to position A. After placing the appliance in the cut-out hole, tighten the screws. This
automatically turns the clamps to position B and tightens them. Fig. 2 shows how the mounted
speaker should look from the rear.
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT CONNECTING YOUR MAGNAT LOUDSPEAKERS
Please always use a good quality loudspeaker connection cable from an audio dealer. To
prevent impairment of sound quality, we recommend cables with cross-sections of at least
1 mm² for lengths up to 3 m and at least 1.5 mm² for lengths above 3 m.
Always turn off the amplifier or receiver before connecting or disconnecting loudspeaker
cables. Place the loudspeakers in their planned positions and cut the cables to the right length.
The cables for both channels should always be exactly the same length.
Strip 10 – 15 mm of insulation from the ends of the cables and twist the ends. The loudspeaker
terminals are equipped with a clamping mechanism (fig. 3). Press the terminal head down and
guide the stripped cable end into the hole on the side. On releasing the terminal head, the
cable is secured, ensuring the best possible contact.
For good sound it is imperative that the cables must be connected in such a way that the
speakers are “in phase”. This means that the black negative terminals on the speakers (-) must
be connected to the negative (-) terminals on the amplifier, the red positive (+) speaker
terminals to the positive (+) amplifier terminals. To make this easier one wire of most speaker
cables is marked with a coloured strip or a ridge in the insulation.
