Magneplanar 1.7 Instruction Manual
Quick Step-Up Instructions
The 1.7 has exceptional phase characteristics that are accomplished without the use of compensation networks. To
realize the optimum phasing, the 1.7 should be angled inward to be on-axis with the listener. (Do not place parallel to the
front wall.)In most rooms, we have achieved the best imaging with the tweeters placed on the inside.The frequency
balance should be smooth for rooms with a modest amount of damping. The enclosed resistor should be used for under-
damped rooms.

    E. Tighten all the bolts securely. Hookup The 1.7 features unique, high current connectors which provide optimum contact area with the speaker cables up to 10 gauge (or for banana connectors). Simply strip 1/2" of insulation from the end of the cable. Insert the cable into the terminal (observing polarity), and tighten the set screws with the Allen wrench provided.
  • Page 3 Left/Right The 1.7's are matched pairs and mirror-imaged. The serial number for each speaker in the pair is the same, except for a "1" or "2" following each serial number. As you face the front of the speakers, the speaker with the serial number ending with the "1"...

    A. Pop or rock recordings often exhibit a pronounced rise in the treble region. B. 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"...
