15.THE RIBBON TWEETER
Because the foil element in your MG3.6/R line source tweeter is only .00015 inches thick, it is very fragile. It's the price we pay for ultra-high performance. Most users will never require a replacement tweeter. Failure will generally occur from mishandling, or from very high impulse signals from a few unusual compact discs used with very high powered amplifiers. Users that frequently push the 2.5 amp tweeter fuse capacity will be the most likely to experience early failure. Because of this, the tweeter has been designed to be easily replaced, requiring only a screwdriver. The time required should be less than 30 minutes.
If you have a defective tweeter, you should contact your dealer for a replacement. Ribbon tweeters for previous MGIII models cannot be used in your MG3.6/R's. Your defective unit will be returned to Magnepan for installation of a new foil element at a minimal charge to you: there is no charge if it is within the one-year warranty period that covers the foil element and Magnepan determines that there is no evidence of abuse. DO NOT SHIP A TWEETER BACK TO MAGNEPAN WITHOUT CONTACTING YOUR DEALER OR MAGNEPAN FIRST. Tweeters must be returned in authorized containers only. Tweeters that are damaged in shipment are the responsibility of the customer.
