Connections
Terminals
CWT SE
loudspeakers are equipped with bi-wiring terminals which feature
separate inputs for the bass range (
Bass
) and the mid-range/treble range (
Mid /
High
). These terminals can be used for
standard wiring
arrangements, but
also for the methods known as
bi-wiring
and
bi-amping
.
(cp. wiring diagrams)
Trigger
Control input / output for
R
LINK
systems:
Both sockets are equivalent
– one is used as input, the other one serves as
output towards other
R
LINK
devices (loudspeaker).
Mode
The power supply of the electrostatic tweeter is equipped with an automatic
switch-on circuit. The
'MODE'
switch is used to set the operation mode.
'ON' setting
If the switch is set to the '
ON
' position, the power supply remains switched on
permanently, regardless of the input signal.
'AUTO' setting
The speaker switches on
automatically
as soon as a music signal is present
and switches itself off if no signal is detected for about 5 minutes.
'CTRL' setting
The speaker switches on
automatically
as soon as a
RLINK
switching signal
from a
master device (e.g. Preamplifier) is present at the
Trigger
input.
Mains input
The foil membrane of electrostatic drive units needs to be charged up using a high
voltage, and that is why the
CWT SE
loudspeakers feature a mains inlet and a
mains switch.
Power ON LED
(illuminated
logo)
The illuminated
-logo on the speaker baffle is turned on to show that the
speaker is now switched ON and ready for operation.
If the speaker shuts down the
logo will turn dark.
We recommend that you should run-in the electrostatic drivers for about 3
minutes before listening to music, to give time for the electrostatic tweeters
to charge up completely.
