Introduction/General Description
1.
The Magneplanar DW 1 is a dipole, thin-film planar/magnetic woofer which is a derivative of the MG 20.1
DiPlanar woofer technology. The DW 1 can be driven simultaneously by 3 separate amplifiers (typically the front
left, center and right channels).
The DW 1 is a "fast" woofer with flat response to 5 kHz which makes the DW 1 ideal for blending with all
Magneplanar on-wall models or center channels that have limited bass response.

- Page 2 Cosmetically, the front and back of the DW 1 are identical. To identify the back of the speaker and ensure proper phasing, the back of the DW 1 can be identified as shown in Fig. 1. Connect the output of a high pass crossover (such as the Magneplanar XO 2) to the input of the DW 1 (observing correct polarity).
- Page 3 The DW 1 is a woofer, not a subwoofer. And the superior performance of the DW 1, as compared to a subwoofer, is due in part, to extremely wide bandwidth (flat to 5 kHz). The DW 1 can seamlessly cross over at a higher frequency to any of the limited bandwidth "Maggie"...
- Page 4 Phasing The Magnepan Pink Noise CD Test Disk included with your DW 1 can be used to determine if the DW 1 is in phase with your limited bandwidth Magneplanar. The test CD has a 9 db peak at 80-100 Hz that draws attention to the frequencies which will be depressed in an out-of-phase condition.
