LCR-15 Full-range Speaker System
Instruction Manual
Thanks for purchasing the LCR-15 Center Channel Dialog speaker engineered by Von
Schweikert Audio, the leaders in audiophile loudspeaker technology. This speaker may
be used as either a full range speaker system in a conventional stereo music setup, or as
a dedicated dialogue speaker in a Home Theater application. This universal design
approach was facilitated by the use of special diaphragm materials providing the highest
Clarity Factor
available. Our composite woofer cone, fabricated from cellulose acetate
pulp impregnated with mica substrate and damped with a carbon fiber/resin polymer,
has a very high Youngs Modulus, or ratio of weight to rigidity. This permits the
woofer/midrange drivers to deliver thundering bass response in combination with
breathtaking vocal clarity and intelligibility. In addition, the liquid cooled composite
silk/polymer resin dome tweeter can handle the dynamic range and volume levels
necessary for thrilling realism without harshness or distortion. To enable the LCR-15 to
be used vertically
or
horizontally, we have designed a GAIN (
Global Axis Integration
Network
) crossover system that enables the system to achieve flat frequency response in
either placement.
SETUP:
After unpacking the LCR-15, attach the supplied rubber squares under the unit to
eliminate vibration between the speaker and shelf or TV. Since this speaker may be
used vertically as well as horizontally, place the feet on the side you wish to use for the
bottom.
VERTICAL PLACEMENT
To use the LCR-15 as a main speaker for music, great sound can be obtained by placing
the speaker vertically. Place the cabinet so that the tweeter's VR letters face left; this is
important as the woofer unit should be on the bottom, with the midbass/midrange unit at
the top of the cabinet. The image and frequency response will be optimized when the
tweeter is at ear level.
HORIZONTAL PLACEMENT
In the case of using one or three LCR-15 speakers in a home theater setup, including
placement inside a wall unit or cabinet, the speakers may be placed in a horizontal
position. Due to the
Global Axis Integration Network
crossover design, the radiation
pattern is uniform in either case.
