both ways. For the purpose of testing, the easiest way to reverse the DWM
phasing is to simply turn the DWM around.
In our opinion, the imaging is best, and the individual drivers blend better,
when we lean back in our chair which places the listener a few feet further
than where one would sit while working at the desk. Lean back, close your eyes
and enjoy the music for a while.
8 Tweeter and Bass Levels
Desktop installations require less tweeter output compared to use as a woofer/
satellite system in a small room. To reduce the tweeter output, remove the
jumper in the attenuation terminals and replace with the 1 ohm resistors.
Other resistor values are available from Magnepan upon request.
Maximum bass performance can be achieved by building the bass panel into
the "modesty panel" at the front of the desk. The president of Magnepan, Mark
Winey, has this type of custom installation. Call Magnepan and we will give
you the installation details.
Dipole speakers need room to "breathe" to produce bass and desk designs vary.
In some cases, customers report good results when a small subwoofer has been
added if all else fails to get adequate bass from the DWM Bass Panel due to the
desk design.
If it is necessary to reduce the output of the DWM, remove the Bass Attenuator
jumper and insert a 25 watt (or higher wattage) resistor. Typically, 2-4 ohms is
sufficient for most installations where bass reduction is needed. If a large
amplifier and/or high power bass levels are used, four 2 ohm, 25 watt resistors
can be used in a series/parallel combination that will provide a 100 watt rating
at 2 ohms. Caution--Depending upon how loud the system is played, the
resistor could become hot and cause a painful burn.
