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

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.
