Congratulations! You have
purchased a high quality stereo
loudspeaker. When matched to
comparable electronic equipment,
expect years of quality high fidelity
sound. We are constantly striving
to provide the very best technology
has to offer.
The following manual is designed
to give you, the installer or owner,
basic information as to the
speaker’s installation and operation.
It is beyond the scope of this
manual to go into all the details that
must be taken into consideration in
a sophisticated high fidelity system.
If you have any further questions
regarding this speaker which are
not answered by this manual,
please feel free to contact your
local dealer.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 5 1/4" two-way LCRS
speaker has two magnetically
shielded 5 1/4" Woven Kevlar
woofers with linear long throw butyl
rubber edge surrounds. Pivoting 1"
lens-free aluminized ferro-fluid
cooled dome tweeters are utilized
for excellent high frequency
dispersion throughout the entire
listening environment.
SHIPPING DAMAGE
Each speaker is thoroughly tested
before it leaves the factory.
However, in shipment, accidents
may occur. Please inspect your
speakers carefully when you
receive them to make sure there is
no damage. If there is, please
notify your dealer, or supplier
immediately for assistance. If you
received your speakers by public
transportation, report the damage at
once.
AMPLIFIER OPERATION
The 5 1/4" two-way LCR speaker
is equipped with a special
automatic polyswitch circuit which,
when overdriven, will automatically
restrict electrical current to the
tweeter to prevent damage. The
circuit will automatically re-engage
once the volume is turned down or
the problem is removed. This
normally takes about thirty (30)
seconds to occur.
The
speaker
will
perform well with
amplifiers from 15 to 150 Watts
RMS. However, any speaker can
be damaged or its protective
circuitry engaged by any size
amplifier that is being overdriven
into clipping. “Amplifier clipping” is
a phrase used to describe a
condition when, because of the
volume demand, an amplifier is
being asked for more power than it
can give. If you should find that
your protective circuits on the
tweeter are activated often, please
consider reducing the volume at
which you normally play the
speaker or purchasing a larger
amplifier with more reserve power.
DAMAGE DONE TO A SPEAKER
BY CLIPPING IS NOT COVERED
UNDER THE WARRANTY.
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Placement of the Wall Mounted
Speakers in your room should be
carefully considered. They should
be located where they will provide
you with the best possible sound
a n d th e g r e a t es t e as e o f
installation.
It is beyond the scope of this
publication to discuss all of the
various aspects of speaker
placement. Please feel free to
contact your dealer.
WIRING
To achieve maximum performance
from your new speakers, we
strongly suggest the use of special
low inductance stereo cable. There
are many good brands presently on
the market. The cable should be 16
gauge or larger. Speaker wire
smaller than 16 gauge, which is
sometimes clear coated, will
d e c r e a s e y o u r s p e a k e r ’ s
performance. The larger the wire
is, the better. For a proper and safe
installation it is important when
installing your speakers and/or
running wire through your house
that you adhere to all local codes
and regulations. We suggest that a
professional be consulted in order
to maximize your system’s
performance. The following,
h o w e v e r , a r e j u s t a f e w
suggestions:
1. Try to keep the wire length to a
minimum. Runs of over 50 feet
should have 16 gauge or heavier
wire.
2. Avoid routing speaker cables
immediately parallel to electrical
cables. This will help reduce
hum and RF interference.
