5.PACKAGING

Save all packaging, including the protective cover for the ribbon tweeters. If you need to transport the speakers, they can be shipped safely only in the original packaging. You may never have to return your speakers, but should the occasion arise, they should not be shipped in any packaging but the original. Should you discard it, factory packaging is available, including special packaging for ribbon tweeters.

6.SPEAKER UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY

UNPACKING SPEAKER-DO not pull a speaker abruptly from the carton. The resulting partial vacuum could burst the ribbon. Do not remove the tweeter protector strips until the speaker is completely assembled.

SUPPORT FEET INSTALLATION-The four support feet are shipped in the separate accessory carton along with the eight mounting bolts. Two feet must be fastened to the backside of each of the panels. The nuts are already installed in the panels.

A.Lay the speakers on the side as shown in Figure 1. We suggest you have a second person hold the speakers during installation to ensure they do not fall.

B.Locate the four holes in the fabric along lower backside of the panel.

C.Carefully place a foot from the backside against the panel so the holes in the foot align with the holes in the panel. Using your fingers, insert bolts through the foot and into the panel until they engage nuts in the panel. Care should be taken so the bolts do not cross-thread. Final tightening is done with a Phillips #2 screwdriver. Repeat for remaining foot.

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.
