If you ever need to ship the MMG C, it can be shipped safely only in the original packaging. [. . . ] Leave an empty space of about 6 inches between the rear of the speaker and the insulation. Whenever possible, the rear of the cabinet should be vented or left open to allow the rear wave from the MMG C to escape. If the speaker is placed below the TV or screen, the speaker can be tilted upward by removing the 2 existing adjustable feet. Using a hot soldering iron, burn a hole in the fabric to allow installation of an adjustable foot in the front T nut. If the speaker is placed below the TV or screen, the speaker can be tilted upward by removing the 2 existing adjustable feet. Locate the front T-nut shown in the following diagrams. Again, for the smoothest response, tilt the MMG C to aim it approximately at the listener's head as shown above. INSTALLATION USING BUILT- IN "T" NUTS As shown below, there are 3 "T" nuts built into the top and bottom of the MMG C, at the designated locations. These built-in T nuts allow hanging or any other type of installation you may devise. Carefully burn a hole in the cloth with a hot soldering tip or a method that will seal the hole in the cloth. Eye-bolts or hooks may be installed in the built-in nuts, and use 1/4-inch X 20-inch threads. D. DAMPING When the MMG C is placed close to a rear wall, the sound quality can usually be improved with a damping material, such as a wall hanging, behind the speaker. 6. PROCESSOR SETTINGS Set your receiver or processor on "small" speaker for the center channel, and "large" or "full range" for the left/right speakers. (This does not apply if the MC1 or MMG W are used as front left/right speakers. ) Set the MMG C crossover point at 100Hz. Try higher crossover points to achieve natural reproduction of male voice. Depending upon your room conditions and the center channel placement, a different crossover point from 100Hz may be needed. Even though you will probably be using a subwoofer, set your receiver or processor for "no subwoofer. " This may seem strange, but it is necessary for the proper integration of the center channel bass. [. . . ] Adjust the subwoofer crossover point so it does not overlap with the "full range" front left/right Magneplanars. 7. AMPLIFICATION WARNING: The MMG C is a 5 ohm speaker. Be certain the amplifier or receiver you are using is capable of driving a 5 ohm load. If you are uncertain, call the manufacturer of the amplifier. 8.
