Dear MAGNAT Customer,

Congratulations on your fine new loudspeakers and thank you very much for choosing MAGNAT! You have made an excellent choice. The high-quality speakers produced by MAGNAT are renowned all over the world.

Please study the instructions and information below carefully before using your new loudspeakers.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT CONNECTING YOUR MAGNAT NEOS LOUDSPEAKERS

Please always use a good quality loudspeaker connection cable from an audio dealer. To prevent impairment of sound quality, we recommend cables with cross-sections of at least 1.5 mm^2 for lengths up to 3 m and at least 2.5 mm^2 for lengths above 3 m.

Always turn off the amplifier or receiver before connecting or disconnecting loudspeaker cables. Place the loudspeakers in their planned positions and cut the cables to the right length. The cables for both channels should always be exactly the same length.

Strip 10 – 15 mm of insulation from the ends of the cables and twist the ends. The loudspeaker terminals are equipped with a screw mechanism. Unscrew the knurled screws on the terminals so that the bared cable end may be inserted into the hole on the side. Then tighten the screws again to ensure best possible contact. (Fig. 3).

For good sound it is imperative that the cables must be connected in such a way that the speakers are “in phase”. This means that the black negative terminals on the speakers (-) must be connected to the negative (-) terminals on the amplifier, the red positive (+) speaker terminals to the positive (+) amplifier terminals. To make this easier one wire of most speaker cables is marked with a coloured strip or a ridge in the insulation.

Before switching on the system double-check all your connections and make sure that the terminal screws are tight and that there are no short circuits caused by stray wire filaments – this could cause serious damage to your amplifier!

NEOS TOWER

Fig. 1 shows how to fit the support.

Attention: In order to prevent damage to the loudspeaker housing, the protective foil should initially only be removed from under the box when the stand is fitted and only completely removed once assembly has been completed.

NEOS SAT

Fig. 2 shows you how to fit the wall bracket.

THE MAGNAT NEOS TOWER AND SAT IN STEREO MODE

In the ideal configuration the speakers and the listening position should form an equilateral triangle. When the left and right speakers are the same distance from the listening position their sound arrives at the same time, resulting in a harmonious, natural music reproduction.

There should be a clear line of sight between the loudspeakers and the listening position. Any sound-absorbing or reflecting obstacles in the path will distort the sound.

MAGNAT NEOS TOWER AND SAT AS A FRONT OR REAR LOUDSPEAKER

The front loudspeakers are positioned at ear height on the left and right as equidistant from the television as possible. The rear loudspeakers are placed at ear height or a little above on the left and right sides next to or, even better, behind the listening position and fitted using the wall brackets (NEOS SAT).

If possible, the cross-over frequency for the front and rear channels should be adjusted to approximately 80 Hz – 120 Hz in the AV receiver's set-up. Otherwise all the recommendations made in the previous chapter also apply.

MAGNAT NEOS CENTER

The NEOS CENTER loudspeaker visually and acoustically ideally matches the other NEOS models. The loudspeaker is placed immediately on or under the television set.

Otherwise please adhere to the general recommendations outlined in the previous chapters.

COMBINATION WITH ACTIVE SUBWOOFER

The use of an active subwoofer is recommended particularly for home-cinema applications. Subwoofers in the MAGNAT BETASUB series are particularly well suited for such uses. In the AV receiver's set-up the crossover frequency for the NEOS TOWER should be set to around 80 Hz, for the SAT and CENTER to 120 Hz. Please also refer to the subwoofer's and your amplifier's operating instructions.

CONNECTING TO AN AV RECEIVER

Figs. 4 and 5 show two different methods of connecting to AV receivers.

HOW TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR VALUABLE SPEAKERS

All MAGNAT loudspeakers are designed and built for optimum sound reproduction with the tone controls in the central position – i.e. with “linear” amplifier output. Turning up the bass and treble controls too far delivers more power to the woofers and/or tweeters, and at high volumes this can actually destroy the speaker units!

If the output of your amplifier is significantly higher than the rated power handling capacity of your speakers extremely high volumes can physically destroy your speakers. This doesn't actually happen often but you should be aware that it is possible.

Weak amplifiers with low output ratings can actually be more dangerous for your speakers at medium volumes because weak amplifiers may overload much faster than powerful ones and this causes measurable and audible distortion, which is extremely dangerous to your loudspeakers.

Always turn the volume down immediately as soon as you hear distortion! If you like listening to loud music make sure that your amplifier can deliver at least as much power as the speakers' power-handling rating.

Amplifiers, tuners and CD players can all produce inaudible high-frequency signals – and this doesn't only apply to cheap products. If your tweeters fail at low or medium volumes you should have a qualified technician check your system components for dangerous inaudible signals.
