Hookup
The 3.7i 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.
Caution
The terminal plate states a maximum fuse value of 5 amps Type 3AG ("normal" or
"fast blow") for the midrange and 2 1/2 amps for the tweeter. The bass section
does not require fusing protection. This fuse value should never be increased or
bypassed. Do not use slow-blow fuses. BURNED OUT MIDRANGE OR TWEETERS
ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.
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. The following are a few general guidelines:
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.
Need more bass?
Most of the area of any full-range Maggie is devoted to bass reproduction. (In the
case of the 20.7, 76% of the total radiating area is devoted to bass.) The
Magneplanar Bass Panel o
ff
ers you the
fl
exibility to add bass diaphragm area to
fi
t
the needs of your room. From the $600 pair MMG to the 20.7, the Maggie Bass
Panel can get the bass/midbass "just right".
