[. . . ] MAGNEPLANAR® MMG W Instruction Manual White Bear Lake, Minnesota www. magnepan. com 1. INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase. The Magneplanar MMG W loudspeaker was conceived and designed for perfectionists. One of the most revealing loudspeakers made, it will provide outstanding music and home theater reproduction when used with high quality components. [. . . ] The MMG W is designed to be placed next to a wall or cabinet. The boundary of a wall or cabinet is calculated in the MMG W design to achieve smooth frequency response to 100Hz. In front and surround applications, the front of the diaphragm should be faced toward the listener. The back of the diaphragm contains a wood crosspiece, the front does not. Melted diaphragms are not covered under the speaker warranty. Connect the (+) (red) output from your amplifier to the white wire (with red mark) on the MMG W, and (-) (black) of the amplifier to the all white wire on the MMG W. If the speaker wires are not routed through a wall or cabinet, "hide-a-cord" channels can be attached to the wall as shown below. *NOTE: This dimension is for an average person sitting in an average chair. You should adjust the speaker up or down for your height and seating. Ideally, your ears and the center of the speaker should be at the same level. Locate holes on stud or use hollow wall anchors as shown. Drill holes ­ 5/16" for hollow wall anchors or 3/32" for wood screws. Put rubber washer onto bottom bracket post. Install speaker by setting it on the bottom post while feeding wires through hollow center of post. Pull excess wire through lower bracket and set speaker on bottom post. [. . . ] However, our experience is that a direct radiating surround speaker can be too precise in rear imaging, and the listener becomes aware of the sound coming from a speaker which ruins the holographic effect of surround sound. Ideally, the MMG W should be positioned about 24 inches from the floor, but may be installed as high as the ceiling, as shown below. It also shows an optional horizontal ceiling installation. The MMG W may also be installed on the rear walls, as shown below. 4.
