Quick Set-up
1.
Remove panels and feet from the carton. KEEP ALL PACKAGING! If you should
ever return the speakers to Magnepan, they must be returned in their original
carton. There will be a charge if it is necessary to replace packaging.
2.
Install the feet on the back of the speakers and tighten the screws. If the little
fl
ippers on the ends of the feet do not fall loosely by their own weight, spread
their ends apart until the friction is eliminated.
3.
The LRS uses a unique high-current connector (See Figure 1). Strip approximately
1/4-inch of insulation from the speaker cable end and insert it into the connector
and tighten the set screw with the Allen wrench provided. Special spade lug
adapters are available from Magnepan...call to order.
Magnepan encourages the use of large gauge speaker wire (preferably 16 gauge
or larger).
TO INSURE PROPER PHASING OF THE SPEAKERS, MAKE SURE PLUS (+) IS TO PLUS
AND MINUS (-) IS TO MINUS.
4.
Your speakers come in matched pairs and are mirror-imaged. The serial number
for each speaker in the pair is the same except a "1" or "2" follows each serial
number. Place speaker "1" on the left and "2" on the right. This places the
tweeters to the outside.
Whether the tweeter is on the inside or outside,
the
tweeter should not be closer to the listener than the bass section. Measuring
from your seated position, if the bass panel is 10 feet, 6 inches, the tweeter
should be at least 10 feet, 7 inches (think in distance, not angles).
5.
Locate the speakers 2 feet or more in front of a wall.
6.
The distance between the speakers should be approximately 60% of the distance
you will be from the speakers when you listen to them, for example: if you will be
10 feet from the speakers, position them about 6 feet apart.
7.
Tweeter attenuation-- The tweeter attenuator jumper provides maximum
tweeter volume for heavily-damped rooms. Your room may require tweeter level
reduction by inserting a resistor in place of the jumper.
