SERIAL NUMBERS
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO RECORD YOUR SPEAKERS’ SERIAL NUMBERS
BELOW.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT AND POSITIONING
THE MAGICO M6 LOUDSPEAKERS ARE PRECISION INSTRUMENTS FOR MUSIC
REPRODUCTION. AS SUCH, PROPER CARE AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL WHEN
SETTING UP THESE SPEAKERS WILL YIELD THE MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE,
REGARDLESS OF THE PARTICULAR ROOM. FOLLOWING THESE SET-UP GUIDELINES
WILL ENSURE THE SPEAKERS ARE PROPERLY POSITIONED TO DELIVER THE OPTIMUM
LISTENING EXPERIENCE. ALL THAT IS REQUIRED IS A TAPE MEASURE, A PEN, A
CALCULATOR, A BALL OF STRING, A COUPLE OF DEMO CDS, AND SOME PATIENCE.
PLACEMENT—M6s IN RELATION TO BACK AND SIDE WALLS
BEFORE YOU BEGIN: LOOK FOR OBVIOUS IMPEDIMENTS INCLUDING ANYTHING THAT
COULD IMPEDE OR DIMINISH THE SOUND—E.G., OTHER SPEAKERS, AMPLIFIERS,
EQUIPMENT RACKS, ANYTHING ON THE WALL THAT COULD CAUSE A REFLECTION, A
SEVERE MISMATCH IN QUALITY AMONG INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS, AND
UNNECESSARY OR POORLY RUN SPEAKER/INTERCONNECT CABLES.
BASS—DISTANCE FROM REAR WALL
THE INITIAL PLACEMENT SHOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 20 INCHES (1/2 M) FROM THE
BACK OF THE LOUDSPEAKER TO THE BACK WALL. SINCE WE HAVE SHORT AUDITORY
MEMORY, THE SELECTED DEMO MUSIC CUT SHOULD BE BRIEF—30 SECONDS – 1
MINUTE MAX. IT SHOULD BE A WELL RECORDED JAZZ CUT WITH GOOD BASS GUITAR
OR PERCUSSION. WHAT WE ARE LISTENING FOR AT THIS TIME IS THE DEFINITION OF
THE BASS AND THE RIGHT SENSE OF PROPORTION.
NEXT, MOVE THE SPEAKER 6 – 8 INCHES (15 – 20 CM) FORWARD AND REPEAT THE
LISTENING PROCESS. REPEAT THIS PROCESS, MOVING THE LOUDSPEAKER FORWARD
IN 6 – 8 INCH (15-20 CM) INCREMENTS. WHEN YOU REACH THE POINT FROM WHICH
MOVING THE SPEAKER FORWARD SOUNDS WORSE THAN THE PREVIOUS LISTENING
POINT, MOVE THE LOUDSPEAKER BACK TO THIS POSITION AND MARK THIS
DISTANCE FROM THE REAR WALL.
MIDRANGE—PLACEMENT IN RELATION TO SIDE WALLS FOR LATERAL PLACEMENT
BEGIN BY DIVIDING THE ROOM WIDTH BY 14. INITIAL PLACEMENT OF THE
LOUDSPEAKERS WILL BE AT 3 AND 11. THE DISTANCE FROM THE LOUDSPEAKER TO
THE EARS HAS TO BE PRECISELY EQUAL. THIS MEASUREMENT IS CRITICAL. THE
MUSIC FOR THIS PROCESS SHOULD BE A FEMALE VOICE AND PIANO. WE ARE
LISTENING FOR THE IMAGE OF HER VOICE TO BE FOCUSED. THE RULE FOR THE TOE-
IN IS TO PICK A POINT APPROXIMATELY 1 – 2 FEET (.5M) BEHIND THE LISTENER’S
HEAD. TOE THE LOUDSPEAKERS IN TO INTERSECT AT THAT POINT.

IF THE SOUND IS TOO BRIGHT, TOE THE SPEAKERS OUT A LITTLE MORE. IF THE
SOUND IS TOO DULL, TOE THE SPEAKERS IN A LITTLE MORE. REPEAT THE ABOVE
PROCESS WITH THE LOUDSPEAKERS AT THE 4 AND 10 POSITION. THEN REPEAT,
ONCE AGAIN WITH THE SPEAKERS AT THE 5 AND 9 POSITION.
SUMMARY
ONCE THE INITIAL PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED, RETURN TO THE BASS SET-UP
TO ENSURE THAT THE LOUDSPEAKERS ARE THE PROPER DISTANCE FROM THE
BACK WALL. WHEN THE PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED, MARK THE SPEAKER
LOCATION WITH TAPE SO THAT THE SPEAKERS CAN BE RETURNED THERE FOR
FURTHER LISTENING.
POSITIONING—M6s IN RELATION TO THE LISTENER
•THE SPEAKERS AND THE LISTENER SHOULD FORM AN ISOSCELES TRIANGLE.
•THE LISTENER SHOULD BE EXACTLY EQUIDISTANT BETWEEN THE TWO
LOUDSPEAKERS. THE BEST WAY TO DETERMINE THIS IS WITH A PIECE OF STRING.
PICK A FIXED SPOT AT THE LISTENING POSITION. RUN THE STRING FROM THIS SPOT
TO THE FRONT OF THE TWEETER OF THE LEFT SPEAKER. REPEAT THE PROCESS FOR
THE RIGHT SPEAKER. IT IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO KEEP THIS DISTANCE
PRECISELY THE SAME.
CONNECTIONS
CONNECTIONS SHOULD BE MADE WITH ALL ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT (AMPLIFIERS,
PREAMPLIFIERS) TURNED OFF. THERE ARE TWO TERMINALS AT THE BACK OF THE
SPEAKER. THE TERMINALS ARE INSULATED TO ACCEPT A VARIETY OF CABLE
TERMINATIONS FOR MOST APPLICATIONS AND TO PREVENT ANY LIKELIHOOD OF
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, EVEN WHEN THE SPEAKERS ARE USED WITH THE HIGHEST
POWERED AMPLIFIERS. DO NOT USE TOOLS TO TIGHTEN THE BINDING POSTS.
BREAK-IN
A LOUDSPEAKER IS A MECHANICAL DEVICE AND AS SUCH REQUIRES AN EXTENDED
INITIAL PERIOD OF NORMAL USE DURING WHICH A NOTICEABLE IMPROVEMENT IN
SOUND QUALITY WILL OCCUR. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE THE BREAK-IN
PROCESS BY PLAYING SINE WAVES, TONE SWEEPS, BREAK-IN CDS OF ANY SORT, OR
OTHER GENERATED SIGNALS.
CARE
FOR ALUMINUM PANELS USE A LINT-FREE SOFT CLOTH (PROVIDED IN ACCESSORY
KIT). FOR PAINTED SURFACES, USE A PRODUCT SUCH AS MEGUIAR’S PROFESSIONAL
FINALINSPECTION 34. DO NOT USE CLEANERS THAT CONTAIN AMMONIA, STRONG
SOLVENTS, OR ABRASIVE MATERIALS. USE OF THESE CLEANERS CAN DEGRADE,
SCRATCH, OR DESTROY THE FINISH.
