POSITIONING YOUR MAGNAT SYMBOL X SPEAKERS FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE
Stereo reproduction
Reproduction of stereo sound requires two loudspeakers, which are sometimes supported with an additional subwoofer. The speakers
are generally referred to as the left and right speakers or the left and right channels. They should be located in front of and to the left
and right of your listening position.
In the ideal configuration the speakers and the listening position should form an equilateral triangle, which is known as the "stereo
triangle" (Fig. 1). 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.
It is also best to position the loudspeakers in the part of the room containing the most "hard", acoustically reflective surfaces – for
example in front of a wall or windows. The sound from the speakers should be directed from the "hard part" of the room into the "soft
part" – i.e. the area containing the most carpets, couches and other sound-absorbing furniture and materials. 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
music.
Fig. 2 shows the function of the wall bracket and how to mount it.
Please note that the speakers can also be mounted horizontally. In this case, the Magnat logo on the grille can be rotated by 90°.
Pull the logo forwards slightly and rotate it in the desired direction.
Mounting
A) Secure the wall bracket/base plate (3) to the wall by using the wall plugs (8) and screws (7) supplied. Use the wall bracket
as a template to mark out the drill holes. When doing this, make sure everything is horizontal.
B) Secure the wall bracket (part 1) (2) together with the wall bracket (part 2) (4) to the rear of the speaker; do not tighten the
screws (9) yet. Align the speaker as desired and tighten the screws (9).
C) Secure the speaker together with the already mounted wall bracket (part 1) (2) to the wall bracket/base plate (3) by using
the screws (5). Do not tighten the screws initially here either. Align the speaker as desired and tighten the screws (5).
To ensure stability, the supplied rubber feet should be attached to the bottom of the box (four per box) if the loudspeakers are used
without wall brackets.
The Symbol X loudspeakers are IPX5 proofen and widely resistant to moisture so that they may also be used outdoors and in damp
rooms. Observe the following points in order to ensure perfect functioning over the long-term:
• Do not expose to direct sunlight and permanent humidity (e.g. rain) for extended periods of time.
• Only use at temperatures ranging between 0 °C and +40 °C.
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT CONNECTING YOUR MAGNAT SYMBOL X LOUDSPEAKERS
Please always use 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 mm², better 2.5 mm² for lengths up to 3 m and at least 2.5 mm² or 4 mm²
for longer lengths.
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 (see Positioning Your Magnat Symbol X loudspeakers above). The cables
for both channels should always be exactly the same length.
Strip 10 – 15 mm of insulation from the ends of the cables. Twist the ends – this is much better than tinning them with solder – insert
them in the terminals and tighten the terminal screws firmly.
