MAGNAT SIGNATURE 500 LOUDSPEAKERS 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 besides
or better behind the listening position. (Fig. 4)
BI-WIRING AND BI-AMPING (SIGNATURE 503, 505, 507)
Bi-wiring means using separate cables to carry the high and low audio frequencies. Bi-amping takes this
idea one step further and uses separate power amplifiers as well as separate cables for high and low
frequencies. Bi-amping in particular produces an additional improvement in sound reproduction quality.
The special connection terminals of the SIGNATURE 500 loudspeakers support both conventional
connection and operation in bi-wiring and bi-amping modes. There are four screw terminals on each
speaker. The top pair are for the tweeter (high frequencies), the lower pair for the woofer (low frequencies).
The factory-installed metal strips connecting the positive and negative terminals are for conventional
2-wire connection and must be removed for bi-wiring and bi-amping operation. The pictures below show
the correct set-up for conventional operation (Fig. 5a), bi-wiring (Fig. 5b) and bi-amping (Fig. 5c).
MAGNAT SIGNATURE CENTER 53
The SIGNATURE CENTER 53 loudspeaker visually and acoustically ideally matches the other
SIGNATURE 500 models. The loudspeaker is placed immediately on or under the television set.
Otherwise please adhere to the general recommendations outlined in the previous chapters.
MAGNAT SIGNATURE SUB 530A
The SIGNATURE SUB 530A active subwoofer visually and acoustically ideally matches the other
loudspeakers in the SIGNATURE 500 series. Please refer to the separate operating instructions
supplied with this product.
CONNECTING TO AN AV RECEIVER
Fig. 6 shows the connecting to an AV receiver. Please also refer to your receiver's/amplifier's instructions.
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.
