*Because there are no universally accepted methods for loudspeaker measurement, frequency response specifications may be stated by most manufacturers without reference to measurement techniques and/or specific locations in rooms. Magneplanar loudspeaker frequency response curves are minimum average performance levels that may reasonably be expected in normal installations.

**New Magneplanar MG3.6/R speakers will not display their full bass potential. After a month or two of use the bass response will lower 5Hz or more. At this point the response will stabilize and the speakers rated performance (or better) can be realized. While this 5Hz or more of lower bass response is important, the most important factors in obtaining good bass response from the MG3.6/R speakers are room size and geometry, wall material, and speaker placement.

MG3.6/R specifications

The Magnepan MG3.6/R is a remarkable loudspeaker that has earned a dedicated following among audiophiles and music enthusiasts since its introduction. Renowned for its unique design and exceptional sound quality, the MG3.6/R embodies the innovative spirit of Magnepan, a company that has specialized in planar magnetic speaker technology for decades.

One of the main features of the MG3.6/R is its innovative planar magnetic design. Unlike conventional dynamic speakers that use a cone or a dome to create sound, the MG3.6/R employs a flat diaphragm suspended between powerful magnets. This design allows for a more uniform sound radiation pattern and minimizes distortion, resulting in clear and accurate audio reproduction. The consistency of sound across a wide frequency range is a hallmark of planar magnetic technology, and the MG3.6/R exemplifies this in its sonic performance.

The MG3.6/R is particularly noted for its impressive midrange and high-frequency performance. Many users report that vocals and acoustic instruments sound exceptionally natural and detailed. This is largely due to the speaker's ability to reproduce transient responses with remarkable accuracy. The magnesium-coated film used in the diaphragm contributes to a controlled response, enabling the MG3.6/R to deliver an engaging listening experience that draws listeners into the music.

Another defining characteristic of the MG3.6/R is its size and design. At 6 feet tall, this speaker not only looks striking but also takes full advantage of its height to create a larger-than-life soundstage. The tall, narrow profile allows it to project sound effectively across a wide area, making it ideal for a range of room sizes. Additionally, the speakers are designed to be used as dipole radiators, meaning they emit sound from both the front and back. This results in a more immersive listening experience and enhances spatial imaging.

The MG3.6/R also incorporates advanced technologies such as a fully integrated crossover network, which facilitates seamless blending between the speaker’s low and high-frequency drivers. This ensures a coherent sound that faithfully reproduces the original recording’s intent. Furthermore, the MG3.6/R’s robust construction, featuring a sturdy frame and quality materials, allows it to withstand ongoing use without compromising performance.

Overall, the Magnepan MG3.6/R stands out not only for its audio fidelity but also for its unique engineering and aesthetic design. It is a speaker that caters to discerning listeners who appreciate high-quality sound in an elegant package, making it a popular choice among audiophiles worldwide. With its combination of innovative technology and exceptional sound quality, the MG3.6/R remains a staple in the world of high-performance audio.
