Mmc 2 installation instruction manual table of contents with a little experience, one person can install an mmc 2. However, for the first time, it is recommended that an assistant help with steps d and e of the installation. A selection of speaker location 2 b painting speaker frames 3 c tips from t...
A selection of speaker location before a permanent installation is begun, we highly recommend purchasing the $30 pair disposable speaker stand kit to determine if the selected location gives the desired audio performance for the mmc 2s before the first holes are drilled. These mobile wall stands all...
B painting speaker frames many customers will want to paint the top and bottom molding to match their decor. The top and bottom frames can be ordered with a primer coat. We recommend krylon spray can paint. A. Mask off hardware in the speaker frames to prevent paint from fouling mechanical parts. Usi...
C tips from the pros for do-it-yourselfers a. To run a speaker wire into a wall and out another hole at the bottom, insert a fine steel chain in the top hole that is the length needed to reach the junction box. Use a magnet at the junction box to locate the steel chain. The steel chain will be used ...
D. Level the template by placing a level on the top or side of the template. See fig. 2. Caution- take great care to ensure that the wall is plumb (vertical) and the template is level before drilling the holes. The speakers will not close or open if severely out of plum or level. As an additional pr...

E top frame installation thread motor wires through the 1/4" dia. Center hole and attach the top frame using keyholes on the back of the top frame. If necessary, adjust the screw height to insure a snug fit of the top motor frame to the wall. See fig. 3 & 4. Fig. 3 fig. 4 revision-- 7-25-15 page of ...
F attaching bottom frame to speaker a. Caution-- do not rest the weight of the speaker panel on the speaker wires. Under extreme force, the steel tube could cut through the insulation. B. Lay the speaker on a table with the bottom extending about 12" over the edge of the table. C. Thread the speaker...

G bottom frame attachment to wall a. While keeping the bottom frame and speaker together, take the speaker to the wall for installation. See fig. 7. B. Feed the speaker wire through the 1/4" dia. Bottom center hole and attach the lower frame to the wall using the keyholes on the back of the bottom f...

H final speaker installation many of the adjustments and installation are much easier with the aid of an led headlamp. The final step is the most difficult (and may require the help of an assistant). Slightly raise the top frame to allow clearance for the pin on the top of the speaker wheel to clear t...
Final adjustments a. Helpful hint--ensuring that the panel moves freely or detecting the slight resistance of the cam/stop is made easier if the motor assembly and drive wheel is pulled away from the idler wheel. The motor assembly can be held out of the way by attaching a 1 inch-wide piece of duct ...
D. Important- the wheels must be properly aligned for full contact to ensure that the wheels will not slip during opening or closing. Adjust the wheel height on the speaker with the included allen wrench, if necessary. The help of an assistant will be required to adjust the wheel height. Raise the t...
I hookup connect the positive (red) speaker wire to the mmc 2 white and red wire. We recommend that the connection to the speaker wire be soldered with shrink tubing for electrical insulation. Check for correct phasing before making a permanent connection. In case you missed it in the manual- a few ...
J speaker angle adjustment some of the adjustments below are easier if the motor is pulled back using a strip of duct tape as described above in final speaker installation (or with the help of an assistant). For the best sound, the mmc 2 should be angled so that the panel is on-axis with the listene...
Pull the mmc 2 out until you feel the slight resistance of the cam/stop. (note- if you do not feel the resistance of the cam/stop, the cam has been rotated 180 degrees and the cam must be rotated further until the cam and stop intersect.) insert the long 5/64 inch allen wrench into the cam/stop at t...
Setting stop in closed position-- a nylon screw is included with the mmc 2 to act as a stop so that the mmc 2 can be adjusted to be parallel with the wall in the closed position. The screw hole is located at the bottom inside edge of the mmc 2--3/4 inch from the bottom and 1 1/8 inch from the outsid...

K phasing a. Correct phasing between a "small" speaker, like the mmc 2, and the bass panel is much more difficult to detect than an out-of-phase condition between left and right speakers. The ear/brain is less sensitive to phase shift problems at lower frequencies and therefore, making it more difficult...
D. A technique which can aid in determining if the phase is correct is by leaning over and positioning your head equi-distance between the magneplanar bass panel and the "small" magneplanar as shown in bass panel manual. The left and right ears are equi-distance to the respective speakers. High freq...
M tweeter level control a rocker switch is located on the back of the speaker near the top (in the crossover region). Depressing the switch to the right will give maximum high frequencies. Depressing the switch to the left will reduce the high frequencies with a 1 ohm resistor. Revision-- 7-25-15 pa...
