Unpacking Your C/L/R 2300
Please Inspect For Shipping Damage
Each loudspeaker leaves our plant in perfect condition. Any visible or
concealed damage most likely occurred in handling after it left our plant and
should be reported at once to your Definitive dealer or the delivery company
that delivered your loudspeaker. Please unpack your system carefully. Save
all cartons and packing materials in case you move or need to ship your sys-
tem. Record the serial number found on the back of the C/L/R 2300 in the
appropriate place on your warranty card.
Speaker Break-in
Your C/L/R 2300s should sound good right out of the box; however, an
extended break-in period of 40-60 hours or more of normal playing is required
to reach full performance capability. Break-in allows the suspensions to work
in and results in fuller bass, a more open “blossoming” midrange and
smoother high frequency reproduction.
The C/L/R 2300 is supplied with brass inserts designed to go into the bottom
of the speaker, when the speaker is positioned horizontally, to hold adjustable
feet which hold the speaker above the surface it is placed on as well as give you
the option of angling the speaker up or down to point directly at the listeners.
Install three of these inserts in the bottom of the speakers. There are predrilled
holes on the bottom of the speaker under the grill cloth (when the speaker is
positioned horizontally). Simply locate the holes. Two holes are located a little
back (both the same distance) from the front of the speaker. Install brass inserts
in each of these. You also have a choice for the rear hole depending on the
depth of the surface you will place the speaker on. They are located along the
center line going from the front and the back of the speaker on the bottom. Then
feel for them and select one of these holes. Gently tap the inserts in through the
grill cloth and screw the feet in.
Because the C/L/R 2300 can be used either vertically or horizontally, the
logo is supplied separately. Holes are provided for installation when the speak-
er is used horizontally or vertically. These are located under the grill cloth in
recesses that you can feel through the grill cloth at the center of the lower long
edge of the speaker and at the top and bottom short edge of the speaker grill
cloth on the front (so you can orient the speakers with each speaker’s woofer
facing in or each speaker’s woofer facing out if you position the speakers ver-
tically). Locate the logo over the two holes within each recess that you choose
and gently tap it in through the grill cloth.
