Connecting Your Loudspeakers Since in most cases the C/L/R 2500 will be used as a center channel, we will give hook-up instructions as such. If you use C/L/R 2500s across the front (or a pair in stereo) simply hook-up each C/L/R 2500 by repeating similar hook ups for the left and right channel C/L/R 2500s to their appro- priate channel as for the center. Connecting Each Speaker with One Pair of Speaker Wires Only When the C/L/R 2500(s) are hooked up using simply one set of speaker wire per speak

Bi- or Tri-Wiring The concept of bi- or tri-wiring is that higher sonic performance (greater inner detail, higher definition, increased transparency and improved depth) is achieved by utilizing two or three sets of wires to connect each loud- speaker to its respective channel of your amplifier or receiver. If you choose this method of hook-up, follow these instructions: For bi-wiring: (See diagram # 2) Remove both the jumpers between the mid and high terminals on the speaker. Then take care to

For tri-wiring: (See diagram # 3) Remove all the gold jumpers on the speaker and wire with separate wires to each of the low, mid and high ter- minals going to the appropriate + or - terminal of its appropriate channel of your amplifier. It is critical that all + terminals on each speaker be connect- ed to only the + terminal of its appropriate channel (center to center) on the amplifier and all - terminals only get connected to the - terminal of its appropriate channel on the amplifier.

Using the Full-Range Low-Level Input for Driving the Built- In Powered Subwoofer Your C/L/R 2500(s) has a separate RCA input jack labeled “Full Range Low Level In” which may be used to drive the built-in powered subwoofer directly from your preamp or preamp section of your receiver (if you have center channel low-level full-range output). This input should be connect- ed to a full-range center channel output from your pre-amp or decoder and not from “Subwoofer or LFE Out.” Many experts feel that

When you use this low-level input to the subwoofer, it is very important to disconnect (on the speaker(s)) the gold jumper going between the + (red) mid and low, and - (black) mid and low 5-way binding posts. (There should be nothing connected to the 5-way binding posts labeled low.) Hook up your high (speaker) level signal as you would normally between your center chan- nel amplifier terminals to the corresponding center speaker + mid terminal and - mid terminal. Do the same for all your speake

Using Your C/L/R 2500(s) in a Dolby Digital AC-3 System Using your C/L/R 2500 as a Center Channel in a Dolby Digital System When using your C/L/R 2500 as a center channel in a Dolby Digital system simply hook up the C/L/R 2500 to the center channel output of your system as described in the preceding section. Do not hook up a subwoofer/LFE output to the low-level input on your C/L/R 2500. The subwoofer in the C/L/R 2500 is not in most cases designed to be the main dedicated LFE .1 main subwoofer

Setting Bass and Treble Controls on Your Receiver or Amplifier Normally we recommend that you set the Bass and Treble controls on flat or 0 dB. This will give you the most linear and natural sound. If you want more bass, raise the subwoofer’s Level control on your C/L/R 2500, keeping in mind that even a little turn of the knob can make a big difference in the sound. Also, if your amplifier or receiver has a graphic equalizer, we recom- mend that you leave it flat. The reason for this is that we

If you use C/L/R 2500 as left and right main front speakers, normally the level con- trol of the left speaker will be set the same as the level control of the right speaker. However, these controls can also be set differently on the two speakers in order to allow you to vary the response of left and right speakers separately to compensate for variations and asymmetrical positioning of the left and right speakers in your room (i.e., when one is closer to a side wall or corner, etc.) if this is ho
