Question@Sonance team, I wasn't able to find this product in your official website (www.sonance.com). Why is that?
Asked 6 years ago by Chris.
- Answer This product is made only for BestBuy/Magnolia, it is a hybrid of a bunch of things that Sonance does and they don't include it as a product in their catalog. Sometimes you find sellers on other sites reselling them, but they just got them for a sale price and then sell them at retail. P.S. - These things are great, I run them in my 7.2/Atmos home theater and they handle action and music very well. Love them. They go on sale for a lot off retail - so watch for them!

QuestionAre they bluetooth compatible
Asked 2 months ago by Ringo.
- Answer Hi, Thanks for your question! The Sonance MAG6R in-ceiling speakers are not Bluetooth compatible on their own. These are passive speakers, which means they need to be connected to a separate amplifier or AV receiver. If you want to stream Bluetooth audio, you'll need to pair them with a Bluetooth-enabled amplifier or receiver. I hope you found this information helpful. If you have any additional questions, feel free to reach out to our California-based support team at 949-492-7777. We’re available Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST, and happy to help! – Sonance Tech Support Team

QuestionCan the Sonance MAG6R 6.5” 2-way speakers be mounted on a wall rather then a ceiling?
Asked 2 years ago by Tristan.
- Answer The speaker is 4.75 inches and this would require a wall built from 2x6 lumber (5.5 inches plus .5 inch drywall gives you 6 inches of space. A wall with 2x4 lumber would only provide 4 inches of space. Depending on your location moisture vapor barrier may be an issue and you may need to build a box around the speaker out of foam or something. I would have the same concern around a ceiling with an attic. I have my installed in between levels of my home with fiberglass insulation around the speaker but not against it. No moisture will be moving or condensing since there isn't temperature variations in the space.

QuestionI've been using Denon and Audyssey since 2010. Audyssey has set the crossovers to 250 while the info I had for these Sonance said 40 hz. i am running audyssey with the speakers outside of the ceiling. any ideas? other speakers reading ok.
Asked 3 years ago by tom24.
- Answer If you have a subwoofer there's no need to send such low frequencies to these speakers. Typically you don't want to go any lower than 80hz on a non-subwoofer speaker especially when you have a sub in the mix. Let the sub to what it's designed to do.

QuestionWhy is one speaker normal, the other very quiet? Then when I switch all power over to the quiet speaker, the amp shuts off?
Asked 3 years ago by Pat.
- Answer Please don't take this the wrong way, just want to trouble shoot. Do you have the correct wire red for red and black for black? Has the speaker wire going to the speaker with no sound been compromised? Damaged, split? If all of the above has been verified then I would say it may be the amp channel, because if no power is being used by the speaker because it is defective it would not send a surge back to the receiver.
