K  Phasing 

     

a. Correct phasing between a "small" speaker, like the MMC 2, and the Bass 

Panel is much more di

cult to detect than an out-of-phase condition 

between le

ft

 and right speakers. 

Th

e ear/brain is less sensitive to phase 

shi

ft

 problems at lower frequencies and therefore, making it more di

cult 

to detect. However, an out-of-phase condition between the MMC 2s and 
the Bass Panel will result in a perceived frequency imbalance. A "suckout" 
in the midbass due to an out-of-phase condition will subjectively make the 
MMC 2s seem "bright" with excessive high frequencies. 

b.

Th

e manufacturer of a full-range speaker gives considerable attention to 

achieving correct phasing between the midrange and bass drivers. To get 
the full bene

fi

t of your high performance MMC 2s, we suggest that you get 

the help of your dealer or a technician to ensure that the phasing between 
the MMC 2s and your woofer is correct. 

c. A Magnepan "Shaped" Pink Noise CD Test Disk is included with your 

MMC 2s to assist in the proper phasing between the MMC 2s and your 
Bass Panel. 

Th

e pink noise CD is "shaped" with a 9 db peak at 80-100 Hz. 

Th

is aids in the detection of an out-of-phase condition. 

Th

is peak in the 

midbass focuses the attention of the listener on this area of the frequency 
response. When the MMC 2s are out of phase with the Bass Panel, this 
peak will be reduced in level. Place the Magneplanar Bass Panel (or 
subwoofer) next to the MMC 2s (It is much easier to detect an out-of-
phase condition when the "small" speaker is physically next to the Bass 
Panel.)
