MAGICO V2 User’s Guide
SUMMARY
ONCE THE INITIAL PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED, RETURN TO THE BASS SET-UP TO ENSURE THAT THE
LOUDSPEAKERS ARE THE PROPER DISTANCE FROM THE BACK WALL. WHEN THE PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED,
MARK THE SPEAKER LOCATION WITH TAPE SO THAT THE SPEAKERS CAN BE RETURNED THERE FOR FURTHER
LISTENING.
POSITIONING—V2s IN RELATION TO THE LISTENER
• THE SPEAKERS AND THE LISTENER SHOULD FORM AN ISOSCELES TRIANGLE.
• THE LISTENER SHOULD BE EXACTLY EQUIDISTANT BETWEEN THE TWO LOUDSPEAKERS. THE BEST
WAY TO DETERMINE THIS IS WITH A PIECE OF STRING. PICK A FIXED SPOT AT THE LISTENING POSITION.
RUN THE STRING FROM THIS SPOT TO THE TIP OF THE TWEETER OF THE LEFT SPEAKER. REPEAT THE
PROCESS FOR THE RIGHT SPEAKER. IT IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO KEEP THIS DISTANCE PRECISELY THE
SAME.
• TOE-IN. WE RECOMMEND PICKING A SPOT 1 – 2 FEET (1/2 M) BEHIND THE LISTENER AS A FIXED
ON-AXIS REFERENCE POINT
CONNECTIONS
CONNECTIONS SHOULD BE MADE WITH ALL ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT (AMPLIFIERS, PREAMPLIFIERS) TURNED OFF.
THERE ARE TWO TERMINALS AT THE BACK OF THE SPEAKER. THE TERMINALS ARE INSULATED TO ACCEPT A VARIETY
OF CABLE TERMINATIONS FOR MOST APPLICATIONS AND TO PREVENT ANY LIKELIHOOD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, EVEN
WHEN THE SPEAKERS ARE USED WITH THE HIGHEST POWERED AMPLIFIERS. DO NOT USE TOOLS TO TIGHTEN THE
BINDING POSTS.
BREAK-IN
A LOUDSPEAKER IS A MECHANICAL DEVICE AND AS SUCH REQUIRES AN EXTENDED INITIAL PERIOD OF NORMAL USE
DURING WHICH A NOTICEABLE IMPROVEMENT IN SOUND QUALITY WILL OCCUR. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE
THE BREAK-IN PROCESS BY PLAYING SINE WAVES, TONE SWEEPS, BREAK-IN CDS OF ANY SORT, OR OTHER
GENERATED SIGNALS.
MAINTENANCE
V2 TENSION-COUPLING MECHANISM TIGHTENING PRCEDURE
YOUR MAGICO V2 LOUDSPEAKERS ARE MANUFACTURED USING AN AIRCRAFT-GRADE ALUMINUM FRONT BAFFLE AND
A BALTIC BIRCH CABINET IN AN ACOUSTIC SUSPENSION ENCLOSURE. THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM IS RE-ENFORCED
THROUGH A CUSTOM-DEVELOPED TORSION ROD TENSION-COUPLING MECHANISM. IN TRANSIT, AND OVER TIME,
THESE MATERIALS EXPAND AND CONTRACT AT DIFFERENT RATES, REQUIRING PERIODIC MAINTENANCE. AFTER YOU
RECEIVE YOUR V2s, AND PERIODICALLY THEREAFTER, PLEASE FOLLOW THE OUTLINED MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE TO
ENSURE THAT YOUR V2s ALWAYS PERFORM AT THEIR BEST.
