MAGNAT QUANTUM 700 LOUDSPEAKERS AS A FRONT OR REAR LOUDSPEAKER
The front loudspeakers are positioned at ear height on the left and right as equidistant from the television as
possible. The rear loudspeakers are placed at ear height or a little above on the left and right besides or better
behind the listening position. (Fig. 3)
therwise all the recommendations made in the previous chapter also apply.
MAGNAT QUANTUM 700 - BI-WIRING AND BI-AMPING
Bi-wiring means using separate cables to carry the high and low audio frequencies. Bi-amping takes this idea
one step further and uses separate power amplifiers as well as separate cables for high and low frequencies.
Bi-amping in particular produces an additional improvement in sound reproduction quality.
The special connection terminals of the Quantum 700 loudspeakers support both conventional connection and
operation in bi-wiring and bi-amping modes. There are four screw terminals on each speaker. The top pair are
for the tweeter (high frequencies), the lower pair for the woofer (low frequencies). The factory-installed cables
strips connecting the positive and negative terminals are for conventional 2-wire connection and must be
removed for bi-wiring and bi-amping operation. The pictures below show the correct set-up for conventional
operation (fig. 4a), bi-wiring (fig. 4b) and bi-amping (fig. 4c).
MAGNAT QUANTUM CENTER 716
The Quantum Center 716 loudspeaker visually and acoustically ideally matches the other Quantum 700
models. The loudspeaker is placed immediately on or under the television set.
HOME CINEMA OPERATION WITH SUBWOOFER
An active subwoofer is recommended for home cinema mode, especially where shelf-top or smaller tower
loudspeakers are used as front speakers. All subwoofers with a chassis of at least 30 cm and minimum nominal
output of 100 watts can be used. Please refer to the separate operating instructions supplied with this product.
CONNECTING TO AN AV RECEIVER
Figs. 6 and 6 show two different methods of connecting to AV receivers.

MAINTENANCE

Dust the wood surfaces with a soft cloth. Polish occasionally using a good quality furniture polish. Please
remember that wood is a natural product; the speaker's wood surfaces will get darker when exposed to light
over a long period. The lacquered surface is best cleaned with a mild household cleaner. On no account use
furniture polish or similar products on these surfaces.
HOW TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR VALUABLE SPEAKERS
All MAGNAT loudspeakers are designed and built for optimum sound reproduction with the tone controls in the
central position – i.e. with "linear" amplifier output. Turning up the bass and treble controls too far delivers more
power to the woofers and/or tweeters, and at high volumes this can actually destroy the speaker units!
If the output of your amplifier is significantly higher than the rated power handling capacity of your speakers
extremely high volumes can physically destroy your speakers. This doesn't actually happen often but you should
be aware that it is possible.
