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.
MAGNAT INTERIOR IW LOUDSPEAKERS - SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR WALL
MOUNTING
Magnat Interior IW speakers have an ingenious clamping mechanism that enables you to
easily fit them into a hole cut into a baffle. The easiest way is to fit them in a plasterboard wall.
When using an opening in a masonry wall, a plaster or timber board is also needed. For the
fitting dimensions, please see the technical data given at the end of the manual.
The clamping mechanism is shown clearly in Fig. 1. Loosen the screws and move the clamps
to position A. After placing the appliance in the cut-out hole, tighten the screws. This
automatically turns the clamps to position B and tightens them. Fig. 2 shows how the mounted
speaker should look from the rear.
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.
Multichannel mode:
The centre speaker is normally positioned in the centre directly below the screen. The rear
speakers are fixed vertically to the left and right beside or, preferably, behind the listening
position at ear height or a little higher.
The different Interior IW series models can easily be combined with each other in a surround
system depending on the size of the screen and the room conditions. However, left/right
speaker pairs must always be configured identically, e.g. front left/right or rear left/right. Fig.
3 shows a typical 5.1 configuration. 6.1 and 7.1 configurations are also possible, of course.
The additional rear centre unit (6.1) should be placed vertically or horizontally in the centre
behind the listening position. The additional rear speakers (7.1) should be mounted vertically
a little in front of the listening position.
Subwoofer:
The use of a subwoofer is recommended for stereo mode and is necessary for multichannel
mode. All subwoofers with a chassis of at least 20 cm and minimum nominal output of 50 watts
