1. Introduction/General Description

The Magneplanar DWM Bass Panel is a dipole, thin-film planar/magnetic
woofer which is a derivative of the MG 20.7 DiPlanar bass panel technology.
The DWM Bass panel has one diaphragm which is driven by two separate
amplifiers (typically the front left and right channels). When two Bass Panels
are used, one of the voice-grids is not used. A built-in crossover provides a
high-pass output for use with “small” Magneplanars.

3. Packaging

Save all packaging. The DWM Bass Panel can be shipped safely only in the
original packaging. Should you discard it, packaging is available from
Magnepan.

4. Installation and Hookup

Remove the 1/4-20" screws from the bottom of the Bass Panel. Discard screws.
Install the base with the 2 screws in the Literature Kit. It may be necessary to
realign the dowel nut in the speaker before installing the base and screws.

Connect the speaker wire from the amplifier to the amplifier input on the
DWM, observing polarity. Connect the “small” Magneplanar to the output of
the DWM, observing polarity. (Note- There are no left or right inputs or
outputs on the DWM Bass Panel.)

If 2 Bass Panels are used for a 2-channel setup, one set of connections is used
for each Bass Panel.
