Magnepan CC Speaker Stand - Manual (Page 4)

3. Adjust the angle of tilt of your center channel speaker by turning the Adjustment Screw shown in Fig. 3 to
achieve the desired angle.
4. Whenever possible, place the CC Speaker Stand and your center channel speaker equi-distance to the listener
with your left/right Magneplanars.
Hookup
1. Connect your amplifier to the input at the bottom of the CC Speaker Stand (observing polarity).
2. Using a short section of speaker wire, connect from the CC Speaker Stand output at the top of the CC Speaker
Stand to your Magneplanar center channel speaker (observing polarity).
Phasing and Processor Settings
Set your processor on "large" center channel speaker. As an option, the center channel of the processor can be set on
"small" with a crossover setting of 40-50 Hz.
As a precaution, we recommend that you check the phasing between the CC Speaker Stand and the Magneplanar
center channel speaker by reversing the speaker cables to the center channel speaker. The shaped pink noise test CD
included with your CC Speaker Stand will aid in confirming that the CC Speaker Stand is in-phase with your
Magneplanar center channel speaker. A reduction in output in the 90-100 Hz peak will indicate an out-of-phase condition.
A technique which can aid in determining if the phase is correct is by leaning over and positioning your head equi-
distance between the Magneplanar center channel speaker and the CC Speaker Stand as shown in Fig. 4 below. The
left and right ears are equi-distance to the respective speakers. High frequencies will appear to be up and low
frequencies will appear to be down. The 90-100 Hz peak, if in phase, will appear to be in the middle (and louder).
Using a multi-channel test disk, recheck the phase between the center channel speaker and the left/right speakers.
