4. There are four clamps “dogs” which
hold each speaker in place. Rotate all
the dogs inward.
5. Insert the loudspeaker into the cutout in
the ceiling.
6. The dogs are tightened via four
front-baffle screws. Tighten the dogs
by turning the screws clockwise,
while pressing the loudspeaker against
the ceiling.
NOTE: DO NOT OVER
TIGHTEN THESE SCREWS
. Over-
tightening the screws may make the grille
difficult to install.
8. Install the grille into the speaker.
9. Repeat this procedure for the next
speaker.
Directing the Tweeter:
The tweeter is directed by gently pushing
on the outside edge of the tweeter grille. It
will move 20° in any direction. For critical
listening, point the tweeter to the user’s
favorite listening position, minimizing
reflections from the side walls. For surround
sound or low volume background listening
create more reflections and thus more
ambience by directing the tweeter towards
the side walls.
Setting the Bass and Treble
cut switches (LSC-6.5 only):
Listen to a well-recorded piece of music at
the user’s favorite listening position. First,
listen for bass boominess, particularly when
the speaker is placed near a corner. Put the
Bass switch in the Cut position to correct
this. Secondly, listen for treble harshness
or ringing, particularly when the speakers
are placed in a room without carpet. Put
the Treble switch in the Cut position to
correct this.
Removing the Grilles:
To remove the grille from the LSC-6/LSC- 6.5,
obtain a small paper clip (size #1, common)
and bend the last quarter inch of it into an
“L” shape. Holding the paper clip with a
pair of pliers, insert the end with the “L” into
a hole near the edge of the grille. Remove
the grille by pulling the paper clip towards
you.
Painting the Speakers:
The speakers must be masked prior to
painting them. The inside circular portion of
the hole template can be used as a paint
mask. Remove the outside portion of the
template by gently pulling along the
perforation. Affix the mask to the front of the
speaker using a piece of tape. Fold the tape
onto itself to form a double-sided loop. Affix
the tape to the tweeter and place the mask
onto the speaker.
Painting the Grilles:
The LSC-6/LSC-6.5 grilles should be painted
before they are installed on the speakers.
The best results will be obtained by using a
spray gun or airless sprayer. Thin the paint,
and then apply several light coats. This
technique helps prevent clogging of grille
holes. Paint both sides of the grille to cover
all the white paint.
OPERATION
Listening at Higher Volumes
It requires more power to achieve a
reasonable volume of sound in a large room
than it does in a small room. It is possible to
turn the volume so high that the amplifier
runs out of power. This creates “clipping”
distortion.
Clipping distortion makes treble sound very
harsh and unmusical. When you hear harsh
sounding treble from any good speaker,
turn the volume down immediately! You are
much less likely to damage a speaker with
a large amplifier because it will be more
difficult to produce clipping distortion.
