    Save all packaging. The CC5 can be shipped safely only in the original packaging. Should you discard it, packaging is available from Magnepan. Amplification The CC5 is a 3 ohm speaker and should be used with high current amplifiers that are stable with low impedances. Hookup The CC5 employs a unique, high-current connector.
  • Page 3 Installation and Placement The CC5 can be mounted in or on a cabinet or on credenza or shelf. The CC5 is a "small" speaker. Like all Magneplanars, the CC5 is a dipole speaker. We recommend 12 inches clearance, measuring from the back of the CC5 to the surface behind the CC5.

  • Page 5 CC5. Your full-range, left/right Magneplanars will provide the center channel midbass and bass, thereby giving the illusion of a large Magneplanar in the middle. The definition of your left/right Magneplanar bass/midbass is vastly superior to the bass that can be achieved if the center channel bass were routed to the subwoofer.
  • Page 6 Magnepan DVD test disc, check the phase between the CC5 and the center channel bass/midbass provided by the full-range left/right speakers. Intentionally reverse the phase on the CC5. In some cases, especially if the CC5 is not equal- distance to the front left/right speakers, the frequencies between approximately 100-200 Hz may increase with the phase reversed and it will be necessary to operate the CC5 in an electrically out-of-phase condition.
  • Page 7 CC 5 is evaluated with pink noise. If you are having trouble getting similar pink noise sound from the CC5 as compared to the large left/right Maggies, the problem might be the level setting (with respect to the left/right speakers), or the crossover setting and the phasing between the CC5 and the left/right speakers.

    Full-Range Operation The CC5 is a "small" speaker and if free-standing operation is desired, the DWM Bass Panel can be used with the CC5 to provide full-range Magneplanar center channel performance. However, the best center channel bass and midbass performance may be obtained by using the Bass Panel to fine-tune the front left/ right speakers and using your bass management system to send the center channel bass to the front left/right speakers.
