6 Hookup
Th
e 1.7i features unique, high current connectors which provide optimum
contact area with the speaker cables up to 10 gauge (or for banana connectors).
Simply strip 1/2" of insulation from the end of the cable. Insert the cable into
the terminal (observing polarity), and tighten the set screws with the Allen
wrench provided. Banana plug connectors can be used and locked in place
with the set screws. Spade lug adapters are available from your Magneplanar
dealer for spade connectors that are incompatible with the Magneplanar high
current connector.
7 Caution
Th
e terminal plate states a maximum fuse value of 4 amps Type 3AG ("normal"
or "fast blow").
Th
e bass section does not require fusing protection.
Th
is fuse
value should never be increased or bypassed. Do not use slow-blow fuses.
BURNED OUT TWEETERS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE
WARRANTY.
8 Speaker Placement
Proper speaker placement and room acoustics can have a greater e
ff
ect on a
music system than upgrading one of the components in the system.
Unfortunately, there is no de
fi
nitive guideline which will cover all possible
listening rooms. Some experimentation is required for locating the optimum
position.
Th
e following are a few general guidelines:
9 Bass Response
Play a CD with repetitive bass. Try the speakers in several possible locations in
the room. Begin experimenting with the speakers about 3 feet from the front
wall. Try moving the speakers forward or backward in increments of 6 to 12
inches. One position in the room should be noticeably better than others. Also
experiment with your listening location to avoid standing waves.
