subwoofer/fullrange system’s combined impedance and power
handling is equal to the subwoofer’s.  This is illustrated in the
drawing below.

CSX70 input panel switch

When using the CSX70 in a quiet room, this switch reduces the
mid-frequency output of the system.  If the room fills up and gets
noisy - and you need to give the mids an extra “kick” - just flip
the switch and you’ll have more vocal impact!

Stacking or installing the loudspeaker enclosures

Common sense is a good guide.  If you stack speakers, be sure
they are on a stable surface.  If there is any danger of the speakers
being knocked over when stacked, don’t stack them!  You need
to get the speakers up high enough so that all of the sound doesn’t
“blow away” the people nearest to the speakers, but piling
speakers on top of a small pedestal table is asking for trouble.

Several models of the CSX speakers have a socket for use with
tripod stands.  While stands offer convenience, you must be
careful they are positioned so that no one can trip over the stand
or knock over the loudspeaker.
