THE SOUND YOU CAN’T HEAR...

Amplifiers, tuners and CD players can all produce inaudible high-frequency signals – and this doesn’t 

only apply to cheap products. If your tweeters fail at low or medium volumes you should have a qualified 

technician check your system components for dangerous inaudible signals.

MAINTENANCE

The surface is best cleaned with a mild household cleaner. On no account use furniture polish or similar 

products.

MAGNAT TEMPUS LOUDSPEAKERS AS A FRONT OR REAR LOUDSPEAKER 

The front loudspeakers are positioned at ear height on the left and right as equidistant from the television 

as possible. The rear loudspeakers are placed at ear height or a little above on the left and right besides 

or better behind the listening position. (Fig. 4) 

BI-WIRING AND BI-AMPING (TEMPUS 77 AND TEMPUS 55)

Bi-wiring means using separate cables to carry the high and low audio frequencies. Bi-amping takes this 

idea one step further and uses separate power amplifiers as well as separate cables for high and low 

frequencies. Bi-amping in particular produces an additional improvement in sound reproduction quality. 
The special connection terminals of the TEMPUS loudspeakers support both conventional connection 

and operation in bi-wiring and bi-amping modes. There are four screw terminals on each speaker. The 

top pair are for the tweeter (high frequencies), the lower pair for the woofer (low frequencies). The 

factory-installed metal strips connecting the positive and negative terminals are for conventional 2-wire 

connection and must be removed for bi-wiring and bi-amping operation. The pictures below show the 

correct set-up for conventional operation (Fig. 5a), bi-wiring (Fig. 5b) and bi-amping (Fig. 5c).

MAGNAT TEMPUS CENTER 22

The TEMPUS CENTER 22 loudspeaker visually and acoustically ideally matches the other TEMPUS 

models. The loudspeaker is placed immediately on or under the television set. Otherwise please adhere 

to the general recommendations outlined in the previous chapters.

MAGNAT TEMPUS SUB 300A

The TEMPUS SUB 300A active subwoofer visually and acoustically ideally matches the other loudspeakers 

in the TEMPUS series. Please refer to the separate operating instructions supplied with this product.

CONNECTING TO AN AV RECEIVER

Figs. 6 and 7 show two different methods of connecting to AV receivers.

HOW TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR VALUABLE SPEAKERS 

All MAGNAT loudspeakers are designed and built for optimum sound reproduction with the tone controls 

in the central position – i.e. with “linear” amplifier output. Turning up the bass and treble controls too far 

delivers more power to the woofers and/or tweeters, and at high volumes this can actually destroy the 

speaker units!
If  the  output  of  your  amplifier  is  significantly  higher  than  the  rated  power  handling  capacity  of  your 

speakers extremely high volumes can physically destroy your speakers. This doesn’t actually happen 

often but you should be aware that it is possible. 

Weak amplifiers with low output ratings can actually be more dangerous for your speakers at medium 

volumes  because  weak  amplifiers  may  overload  much  faster  than  powerful  ones  and  this  causes 

measurable and audible distortion, which is extremely dangerous to your loudspeakers. 

Always turn the volume down immediately as soon as you hear distortion! If you like listening to loud music 

make sure that your amplifier can deliver at least as much power as the speakers’ power-handling rating.
