Dear Customer,
Congratulations on your fine new loudspeakers and thank you very much for choosing MAGNAT! You
have made an excellent choice. The high-quality speakers produced by MAGNAT are renowned all over
the world.
Please study the instructions and information below carefully before using your new loudspeakers.
THE MAGNAT MONITOR SUPREME SUB 201A AND SUB 301A ACTIVE SUBWOOFERS
These subwoofers have been adapted to provide the best visual and acoustic match to the MAGNAT
Monitor Supreme range of loudspeakers. However, it goes without saying that they may be combined
with other loudspeakers.
When connecting your loudspeaker, please make sure that everything has been switched off.
Furthermore, make sure that all loudspeaker cables are connected to the proper poles, i.e. the positive
pole for the output is connected to the positive pole for the input and the negative pole with the negative
pole. Please also refer to your receiver’s/amplifier’s and loudspeakers’ instructions.
POSITIONING
The frequency range reproduced by the subwoofer cannot be pinpointed by the human ear. That’s why
positioning generally doesn’t present any problems. However, it is preferable to place the speaker close
to the front loudspeaker in front of the listening position. You should also make sure that the distance from
the sides to items and walls is at least 20 centimetres and at least 20 centimetres from the rear as
otherwise bass reproduction may be impaired.
THE SUBWOOFERS’ OPERATING ELEMENTS (FIG. 4)
Mains connection (2)
The subwoofer is equipped with an integrated amplifier and needs to be connected to a mains outlet by
means of the supplied mains cable. The voltage selector has been set at the factory to 230 V for operation
in Europe.
Warning: Connecting the subwoofer to a 230 V mains outlet while the voltage selector is set to 115 V will
lead to immediate destruction of the amplifier!
Power switch (10)
The subwoofer is switched off in position „Off“ and on in position „On“. We recommend using the „Auto“
position. In this setting, the subwoofer will switch on automatically as soon as a music signal is detected
and off again approx. 15 minutes after it no longer receives a signal. The LED (9) is red in stand-by mode
and green when the subwoofer is in operation. The plug should be disconnected from the mains when
subwoofer is not used for long periods.
Line inputs (6)
For connection to the low-level outputs of the receiver/amplifier. Ref. fig. 2 and 3.
High-level inputs (5)
For connection to the high-level (speaker) outputs of the receiver/amplifier. Ref. fig. 1.
