Dear MAGNAT Customer,
We congratulate you on acquiring this exclusive Magnat product.
This Quantum 900 range loudspeaker will enable you to fulfil your wildest dreams for listening to natural,
unadulterated sound. The loudspeakers in the Magnat Quantum 900 range employ unique technology, including the Fmax
Plus Reference tweeter with an extended frequency response of up to 75 kHz and the innovative Neodynamics
woofers/subwoofers, which ensure the highest level of precision with their neodymium drive and Super-Navi aluminium
cones.
Please study the instructions and information below carefully before using your new loudspeakers.
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT CONNECTING YOUR MAGNAT QUANTUM 900 LOUDSPEAKERS
Warning: Only hi-fi amplifier loudspeaker outputs may be connected to the Quantum 900 loudspeaker terminal.
Please always use a good quality loudspeaker connection cable from an audio dealer. To prevent impairment of sound quality,
we recommend cables with cross-sections of at least 2.5 mm² for lengths up to 3 m and at least 4 mm² for lengths above
3 m.
Always turn off the amplifier or receiver before connecting or disconnecting loudspeaker cables. Place the loudspeakers in
their planned positions and cut the cables to the right length. The cables for both channels should always be exactly the
same length.
For good sound it is imperative that the cables must be connected in such a way that the speakers are “in phase”. This means
that the black negative terminals on the speakers (-) must be connected to the negative (-) terminals on the amplifier, the
red positive (+) speaker terminals to the positive (+) amplifier terminals. To make this easier one wire of most speaker cables
is marked with a coloured strip or a ridge in the insulation.
The Quantum 900 terminal is designed for 3 cord sets:
Connection via banana plugs (fig. 1a)
Connection via clevis type fittings (fig. 1b)
Non-ready-made (fig. 1c):
Strip 10 – 15 mm of insulation from the ends of non-ready-made cables. Twist the ends – this is much better than tinning
them with solder – insert them in the terminals and tighten the terminal screws firmly.
Before switching on the system double-check all your connections and make sure that the terminal screws are tight and that
there are no short circuits caused by stray wire filaments – this could cause serious damage to your amplifier!
THE MAGNAT QUANTUM 900 LOUDSPEAKERS IN 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. (Fig. 2)
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. When you install the loudspeakers the following distances should be maintained:
Quantum tower loudspeakers: at least 20 cm away from the rear wall and at least 30 cm from the side walls. This will
prevent excessive emphasis of the bass range.
Quantum shelf-top loudspeakers: shelf loudspeakers should also be as free-standing as possible, the distance to the sides
and rear to walls and items should be at least 10 cm, the tweeters should be located at ear height.
