Installation and Placement 

The CC5 can be mounted in or on a cabinet or on credenza or shelf. The CC5 is a 
"small" speaker. Like all Magneplanars, the CC5 is a dipole speaker. We recommend 
12 inches clearance, measuring from the back of the CC5 to the surface behind 
the CC5. 

Wall Mounting-- Two vertical wood supports on the back of the speaker allows the 
CC5 to be mounted on the wall (typically below a video monitor) utilizing a small 
omni-mount cantilever. Install with four 10x3/4 inch wood screws. When in 
operation, the CC5 should be extended from the wall to the maximum distance. 

For installations that require custom mounting of the CC5, 1/4"-20 T-nuts are built 
into the bottom of the CC5 that can be utilized for di

erent installation 

requirements. A diagram of the T-nut placement is shown below. 

 

Phasing 

Correct phasing between the tweeter and midrange is accomplished when the 
speaker is angled relative to the listener as shown below. Correct phasing 
between the midrange of the CC5 and the bass augmentation provided by the 
left/right Maggies is described in the Bass Management and Processor Settings 
below.
