USER MANUAL Transforce 1200 MAGNAT

IHR NEUER SUBWOOFER.....

We congratulate you on acquiring this MAGNAT Car Stereo Product. You are now the proud owner of a top high-quality car audio appliance, which we hope will give you many years of enjoyment.

Please read these instructions carefully so as to ensure optimum and disturbance-free functioning of the appliance. Technical modifications reserved.

YOUR NEW SUBWOOFER......

is the ultimate extension to your car stereo system. It is designed to reproduce the bass range right down to the lowest frequencies as dynamically as possible. The speaker system should be connected to your car stereo amplifier, something we recommend in every case. Technical data plus tips and further advice are also contained in these instructions.

POSITIONING AND SECURING THE SUBWOOFERS

Ensure that the subwoofer cabinet rests on an even surface. The cones (and, where applicable, the bass reflex tube) should not be placed directly against the car's interior walls.

Make sure that the subwoofer is secured in such a way that it cannot slip or slide. Damage resulting from sudden changes in speed (e.g. hard braking) is not covered under the terms of our guarantee.

CONNECTING TO THE POWER AMPLIFIER (FIG. 1)

The subwoofer should be connected to an external power amplifier in every case. This can provide the required electrical power and create corresponding dynamic reserves. The relevant instructions also contain the customized connection diagram for the operation of a subwoofer.

The basic equipment of a power amplifier also includes an active crossover switch (low-pass) to keep undesirable mid-tone ranges away from the subwoofer.

ADDITIONAL PASSIVE FILTERS (FIG. 2)

Should you not have any active filter switching available (e.g. use of a mono-block or tri-mode two-channel power amp), this function has to be performed by a passive crossover. Please select your subwoofer's cutoff frequency and wire the components as follows.

Cut off frequency Subwoofer Coil L / min. Capacitor C / cable diameter electric strength

60 Hz 380 mm 15 mH / 1.5 mm	2	470uF / 100Vdc
80 Hz 380/300 mm 12 mH / 1.0 - 1.5 mm		2 330uF / 100Vdc
90 Hz 300 mm 10 mH / 1.0 mm	2	330uF / 100Vdc
110 Hz 300/250 mm 8.2 mH / 0.7 - 1.0 mm		2 220uF / 100Vdc
130 Hz 250 mm 6.8 mH / 0.7 mm	2	220uF / 100Vdc
160 Hz 250/200 mm 5.6 mH / 0.5 - 0.7 mm		2 150uF / 100Vdc

The use of subwoofoers leads to a multiple increase in the dynamics of your audio system. To safeguard your tweeter systems, we recommend protecting these with an additional protective condenser (100 - 200uF series-connected in front of the overall mid-tweeter system).

THE FOLLOWING POINTS SHOULD BE HEADED WHEN CHOOSING COMPONENTS:

• Although core coils offer a good price-performance ratio, they also penetrate the saturation region, which results in acoustic distortions. The coils should therefore have as little ferrite / iron content as possible.
• Be sure to adhere to the recommended minimum cable diameter.
• W ith regard to condensers, electrolyte condensers with the highest possible electric strength should be used.
• The components should not be mounted directly on the speaker. Secure the parts with screws, cable ties and hot-setting glue. Keep the cable runs as short as possible.
• The components are available from specialist electronic equipment dealers.

CABLES TO BE USED

To transport the output from the amplifier to the subwoofer efficiently and reliably, you should bear in mind when selecting the speaker cable that 2 × 4 ~mm^2 gauge wiring is required for cable lengths in excess of 3 meters. 2 × 2.5 ~mm^2 cable is sufficient for

shorter runs. Lay the cable in such a way that short-circuiting cannot occur, i.e. the cable may at no time be jammed between metal parts. Make sure that terminals on the speaker are screwed tight and check their contact at regular intervals.

SUBWOOFER POLARITY

Because of the different spatial conditions prevailing in different vehicles, subwoofer polarity can best be determined by trial and error. To do this, choose some music material you know very well and select the setting you like most. Some radios / control units also offer the possibility of setting the polarity on the appliance itself (phase). One change in polarity corresponds to a phase shift of 180 degrees.
