USAGE
POSITIONING
THE MAGICO V3 LOUDSPEAKERS ARE A PRECISION INSTRUMENT FOR MUSIC REPRODUCTION.AS SUCH,
PROPER CARE AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL WHEN SETTING UP THESE SPEAKERS WILL ALLOW YOU TO ACHIEVE
THE MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE FROM THEM.FOLLOWING THESE SET-UP GUIDELINES WILL MAKE SURE THE
SPEAKERS ARE PROPERLY POSITIONED TO DELIVER THE OPTIMUM LISTENING EXPERIENCE.
•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 TIP 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.
•TOE-IN.WE RECOMMEND PICKING A SPOT 1–2FEET BEHIND THE LISTENER AS A FIXED ON-AXIS
REFERENCE POINT.
CONNECTIONS
ALL 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
ALOUDSPEAKER 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.

V3 Hex Bolt Tightening Procedure
To keep your Magico V3s performing at their best, the V3 hex bolts on
the front baffle should be tightened periodically, just like you would
tighten woofer screws. It is a very simple procedure to tighten the
bolts. All that is required is a 3/16” hex wrench. You will notice in the
image and on your V3s that from top to bottom there are 6 rows of
bolts. Except for the second pair from the top, all other bolts should be
tightened very securely using only the hex wrench. The second row of
bolts should be tightened firmly, or simply finger tight. Following this
procedure on a regular basis will insure that your V3s will always
deliver optimum performance. Bolts should be tightened to a
maximum of 11 newton-meters.
