Page 2: General Description
ASSEMBLY The four support feet for the MG1.6 are shipped in the speaker carton along with the 8 mounting bolts. The nuts for the mounting bolts are already installed in the panel. The spacers and 4 longer bolts are provided to adjust the vertical angle of the speaker. The amount of angle will be dependent on your particular listening conditions. -
Page 3: Conventional Hookup
Figure 1 HOOKUP The MG1.6 features unique, high current connectors which provide optimum contact area with speaker cables up to 10 gauge. The MG1.6 is shipped ready for conventional or bi-wire hookup. CONVENTIONAL HOOKUP Simply strip 1/2" of insulation from the end of the cable. Insert the cable into the top set of connectors and tighten the set screws with the Alien wrench provided. -
Page 4: Bass Response
Remove both jumpers. Connect one set of cables to the low-cable input and the other set to the hi-cable input. Connect the other end of the cables together (observe +/- polarity), and connect to one channel of the amplifier outputs. If frequency specialized cables are used, connect them to their respective inputs. - Page 5 "2" has the tweeter near the right edge. To obtain correct phasing between the tweeter and bass of the MG1.6, the tweeters should be placed on the outside.

Page 7: Room Acoustics
Recordings, typically in the "pop" or "rock" vein, often exhibit pronounced rise in the treble region. The Magneplanar Quasi Ribbon Tweeter is very efficient in its total "energy dispersion." If the surrounding walls are exceptionally reflective, the overall perceived acoustical balance will be tipped towards a "hot" high end. Attenuation is performed through insertion of a simple non-inductive resistor in series with the tweeter. -

Figure 5 MAINTENANCE The hardwood trim can be cleaned with a slightly damp dust cloth. Light vacuuming of the grille cloth is possible. SPECIFICATIONS* SYSTEM DESCRIPTION: Two-way full range planar-magnetic dipole radiator. BASS RADIATING AREA: 442 Sq. In. QUASI RIBBON TWEETER SIZE: 2" x 48" FREQUENCY RESPONSE: 40Hz - 22kHz** ±3dB NORMAL POWER REQUIREMENTS: 100 Watts RMS 8 Ohms MAXIMUM POWER REQUIREMENTS: 250 Watts RMS 8 Ohms... - Page 9 (or better) can be realized. While this 5Hz or more of lower bass response is important, the most important factors in obtaining good bass response from the MG1.6 speakers are room size and geometry, wall material, and speaker placement.
