  • QuestionI have speaker wiring for six speakers already installed in a high vaulted ceiling. I would like to buy speakers and have them connected to existing surround system and TV. Is ceiling height an issue?

    Asked by USMC6591.

    • Answer It depends on your receiver. With vaulted ceilings the distance from the speaker to your ear will affect the timing of the sound reaching your ear. The sound needs to reach your ear at an appropriate timing to match what's on the tv. Most recovers have the ability to adjust the distance of the speaker to compensate for timing. The nice thing about these speakers is that you point the woofers and the tweeters at your ear to make up for the ceiling angle.

  • QuestionWhat kind of speaker wire do these speakers require?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. The Sonance MAG6R speakers require standard two-conductor speaker wire. We recommend using 16-gauge, in-wall rated speaker wire for most installations. I would also recommend using 14-gauge wire for longer runs to help maintain sound quality. I hope you found this information helpful.

  • QuestionHow large is the cutout opening in the ceiling for sonance mag6r vs mag8r speakers? I currently have 9.5inch opening in the ceiling

    Asked by sam.

    • Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. The MAG6R requires an 8-1/4-inch ceiling cutout, while the MAG8R requires a 10-1/8-inch cutout. Your existing 9-1/2-inch opening is too large for the MAG6R and would need to be enlarged for the MAG8R. I hope you found this information helpful. If you have additional questions, please feel free to call our California-based support team at 949-492-7777 and ask for Tech Support. We are available Monday through Friday, 6 am to 5 pm PST.

  • QuestionAre these outside rated

    Asked by Art.

    • Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. The MAG6R speakers are not rated for outdoor use, including installation under a covered outdoor roof. Humidity, temperature changes, and moisture exposure can shorten their expected usable life. For an outdoor installation, we recommend Sonance Visual Experience Extreme Series speakers, which are designed for those conditions. I hope you found this information helpful.

  • QuestionWhat is the best type of wire to use with these speakers

    Asked by SeanR.

    • Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. For the Sonance MAG6R in-ceiling speakers, we recommend using 2-conductor, CL2 or CL3-rated in-wall speaker wire. The ideal wire gauge depends on the length of the speaker run: • 16 AWG – Runs up to approximately 100 feet • 14 AWG – Runs from 100–200 feet • 12 AWG – Runs over 200 feet or for installations where you want to minimize signal loss Using oxygen-free copper (OFC) speaker wire is also recommended for the best long-term performance and reliability. If these speakers will be installed in an air-handling (plenum) space, be sure to use plenum-rated (CMP) speaker wire if required by your local building code. If you have questions, feel free to contact our California-based support team at 949-492-7777. We’re available Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST, and we're always happy to help!

  • QuestionIf the woofer is tilted within the overall mount, does the mount depth change? In other words, if tilted, does the woofer protrude more into the ceiling cavity?

    Asked by Noremac.

    • Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. Tilting the woofer does not change the overall mounting depth of the MAG6R speaker. The woofer pivots within the speaker assembly, so it will not protrude farther into the ceiling cavity when aimed. You will still want to follow the published mounting depth requirement for the speaker and make sure there is adequate clearance inside the ceiling cavity before installation. I hope you found this information helpful. If you have any additional installation questions, please feel free to reach out to our California-based support team at 949-492-7777.

  • QuestionCan these be mounted in a wall?

    Asked by Kurt1234.

    • Answer Hi, Thanks for your question! The Sonance MAG6R requires approximately 4-3/4" of mounting depth. Because of that, it typically will not fit in a standard 2x4 wall without modification. These speakers are specifically designed for in-ceiling installation, so even aside from depth, they are engineered to perform best when mounted in a ceiling rather than a wall. For a wall application, we would recommend choosing a dedicated in-wall speaker instead. I hope you found this information helpful.

  • QuestionI have another product can this be connected with it in series ?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. Yes, you can connect MAG6R speakers in series as long as your amplifier can handle the increased impedance. For example, two 8-ohm speakers in series create a 16-ohm load, which reduces power output. Just make sure your amp is rated for that load before wiring. I hope you found this information helpful.

  • QuestionIs the depth of the speaker measured from the outside of the flange (laying flush on the ceiling) to the deepest part of the speaker, or is the 4.75" the part that is inside the ceiling?

    Asked by ZiptieP.

    • Answer Hi, Thank you for your question. The listed depth of 4.75" refers to the portion of the speaker that sits inside the ceiling (the required mounting depth). The grille and flange sit nearly flush with the ceiling surface and add very little additional depth beyond that measurement. I hope you found this information helpful.

  • QuestionDo I need anything else besides the speakers to connected to the tv? And also are these speakers compatible to Samsung tv?

    Asked by Yami.

    • Answer Hi, Thanks for your question! The Sonance MAG6R speakers are passive speakers, which means they require an external amplifier to work. They can't connect directly to a TV on their own. Here’s what you’ll need: • An AV receiver to power the speakers • Speaker wire to connect the MAG6R speakers to the amplifier • An audio output connection from your Samsung TV to the amplifier (typically via HDMI ARC, optical, or analog RCA, depending on your equipment) Once everything is connected, the MAG6R speakers will work with your Samsung TV as part of a home audio system.
