The Magnepan MMG C is a curved, one-way planar magnetic dipole loudspeaker intended as a center channel speaker. It features a horizontal curved planar tweeter/mid-range driver for improved off-axis dispersion and is covered in black cloth with oak side accents. The speaker has a frequency response of 100Hz to 16kHz, sensitivity of 88dB at 2.83V/1 meter, and an impedance of 5 ohms. It is designed to be used with a subwoofer and requires an amplifier capable of driving a 5-ohm load. The MMG C measures 36 inches wide, 9 inches high, and 5.25 inches deep, weighing 18 pounds. It is recommended to set the crossover point at 100Hz and configure the receiver or processor to treat the center channel as a "small" speaker with no subwoofer to ensure proper bass integration. The MMG C offers coherent sound reproduction with seamless integration in multichannel systems, making it a highly regarded center channel speaker for Magnepan setups.
