MAGNACAST SPEAKER

1) The Magnacast should be mounted with a slight downward angle
as shown below. The horn should never be mounted with the
opening facing up. Using the device in a manner contrary to these
instructions will void factory warranty.
Magnacast Downward Angle
2) The Magnacast comes with a junction box for speaker
connection. Speaker + should be wired into terminal block 1 and
Speaker –should be wired into terminal block 3. The Magnacast
is rated at a maximum input voltage of 45 VRMS (64 V peak).
Driving the unit beyond this voltage will void factory warranty.

3) The junction box comes pre-drilled with a ¼” pilot hole. The installer
must drill this hole to the correct size based on input conduit
connection (not included). (Note: After drilling, ensure all metal
shavings are removed from the box. Failing to properly seal this
connection could result in premature failure of the device and void
the factory warranty.)

Magnacast Vertical Beamwidth Reductions
4) The primary beam angle of the Magnacast is 70° x 80° @ 1 kHz.
Within the primary beam angle the user can expect to achieve the
full rated SPL. Outside of the primary beam angle, the device will
still be able to be heard but at a reduced output as depicted below.

MAGNACAST SINGLE UNIT MOUNTING OPTIONS
1) The Magnacast comes standard with eye bolts for hanging by
chains. Again, the unit should be mounted at a slight downward
angle with the mounting bracket up.
2) Optional mounting hardware is available to attach a single
