1. INTRODUCTION / GENERAL DESCRIPTION Congratulations on your purchase of the Magneplanar® CC3 Center Channel Loudspeaker. The Magneplanar CC3 was conceived and designed for perfectionists. The CC3 consists of a curved, two-way planar magnetic driver. Due to the elegant simplicity and ruggedness of the design, the Magneplanar CC3 Center Channel will give many years of trouble-free service. 2.
A) GENERAL The CC3 is designed for use on top of a TV, in or on top of a cabinet. For freestanding applications where the CC3 will be set on a speaker stand, call Magnepan for special instructions for this type of installation. The CC3 may be placed on top of a TV monitor as shown in Figure A. Magnetic shielding is not required. To achieve the smoothest vertical response, rotate the adjustment feet located on the bottom of the speaker.
C) INSTALLATION USING BUILT-IN “T” NUTS As shown below, there are 3 “T” nuts built into the top and bottom of the CC3, at the designated locations. These built-in T nuts allow hanging or any other type of installation you may devise. CAREFULLY burn a hole in the cloth with a hot soldering tip or a method that will seal the hole in the cloth. Eye-bolts or hooks may be installed in the built-in nuts, and use ¼-inch X 20-inch threads.
Attenuation is accomplished by insertion of a simple, non-inductive resistor in series with the tweeter (see Figure B). Replace the jumper with the appropriate resistor to obtain the desired tweeter attenuation (typically 1 ohm for most rooms). The 1 ohm resistor provided will attenuate the tweeter 1 - 2dB. Other values are available from your Magneplanar dealer. Figure B 9.
