Select finishes are supplied with a foam gasket on the out-rigger, please ensure this side is placed on the cabinet. For Wooden/Hard Floors (Silver 200, 300 and 500 only) Spike The feet and ‘out-riggers’ are supplied assembled for use on noncarpeted, wooden or hard floors or where spikes are inappropriate. All that is required is to fix them to the speaker base using the supplied bolts (A & B). You can check that the speaker is level on all sides by using a spirit level.
AV Positioning Please refer to the illustrations below for the ideal angles and positions of each speaker in your surround system. The speakers should be distanced from the wall according to the requirements of the speaker, which are listed in the 2-Channel Positioning section (page 3). If the sound is too bass heavy or there is bass boom from the room when playing music (without a subwoofer), try moving the loudspeakers slightly further away from the wall(s).
LEFT SPEAKER Bi-Pole Bi-Pole Di-Pole Di-Pole ENGLISH RIGHT SPEAKER 2 ft above ear height LEFT SPEAKER RIGHT SPEAKER Bi-Pole Bi-Pole Di-Pole Di-Pole Atmos When arranging an Atmos system, for the Atmos channels we would recommend using our C265-IDC or CPCT380-IDC. These speakers employ a unique pivoting IDC (Inverted Dual Concentric) midrange/ tweeter module which offers a wider dispersion characteristic, and is ideal for Atmos duties.
Wiring Single Wiring Single wiring is achieved via a single set of cables to the terminals on the back of the loudspeaker. Internally the loudspeaker crossover guides the frequencies to the appropriate driver/tweeter. Low frequencies to the bass drivers, mid frequencies to the mid/bass drivers and high frequencies to the tweeter. It is perfectly acceptable to connect to the top, bottom terminals or even diagonally (experimentation is advisable to achieve the preferred results).
Fundamentally a loudspeaker crossover varies the impedance seen by the speaker and by the power amplifier. The situation is such that when the full range musical signal is applied to the terminals of a fullrange speaker system, the bass driver(s) will only receive low frequency signals, the mid driver receives the mid band frequency signals and the tweeter only gets sent high frequency signals.
Running-In Your Speakers Run your speakers in by playing normal music at low-mid listening levels for approximately 50-70 hours play time. You may find the sound will continue to improve even after the 70 hour mark. This can be done naturally over time: like a fine wine the performance will improve with age.
