Packaging
Save all packaging. The CC5 can be shipped safely only in the original packaging.
Should you discard it, packaging is available from Magnepan.
Ampli
fi
cation
The CC5 is a 3 ohm speaker and should be used with high current ampli
fi
ers that
are stable with low impedances.
Hookup
The CC5 employs a unique, high-current connector. To install speaker cable,
simply strip approximately 1/4-inch of insulation from the speaker cable end,
insert the cable and tighten the set screw. Cables terminated with banana plugs
or pins may also be used. For cable terminated with spade lugs, spade lug
adapters are available from your Magneplanar dealer.
Connect the output of a high pass crossover (such as the Magneplanar DWM
Woofer) to the input of the CC5 (observing correct polarity). If the CC5 is
connected directly to the center channel ampli
fi
er, the processor must be set on
"small" center channel speaker. (See Bass Management and Processor Settings
section below for correct settings of the processor.)
