LCR7 Complement® On-Wall LCR Loudspeaker Instruction Manual
INTRODUCTION Product Description The Complement® LCR7 Loudspeaker is a wall-mounted unit for home theater and stereo audio applications. Its slender profile is designed to complement the appearance of most flat-panel video displays. The speaker comes with two different-colored grilles to coordinate easily with the room décor or other equipment. In a home theater, the LCR7 is intended for use in the front left, center, and right positions adjacent to the video display.
INSTALLATION Speaker Placement With either multichannel or stereo audio, careful speaker placement is important for proper imaging. Imaging is the ability of the speaker system to reproduce sounds so they appear to come from between the speakers. Following are some general placement guidelines for home theater applications.
INSTALLATION Prewiring Installation on masonry Run a separate two-conductor stranded copper speaker cable of at least 16 AWG (1.5 mm) from the amplifier or receiver to each speaker. Leave ample cable at the head end to reach the amplifier terminals. Label the cables so you will know which cable connects to each channel. 1. Obtain masonry anchors suitable for the wall material. We recommend running the cables through the walls to the speaker locations whenever possible so as to hide them.
INSTALLATION Attaching the Speaker 1. Place the disc spring washers over the socket head screws with the convex sides against the screw heads. 2. Thread the socket head screws into the mounting bracket. Leave at least ¼ inch (6 mm) of space between the washers and the bracket ends. 3. Align the slots on the ends of the speaker with the screws and slide the speaker fully onto the bracket, pushing any excess cable back into the wall. Make sure the washers are between the screw heads and the speaker ends.
INSTALLATION Connecting the Amplifier or Receiver Saving your speakers from signal clipping The LCR7 is designed to be driven by an amplifier or receiver with a rated output of up to 150 watts RMS per channel into 6 ohms. When a source audio signal demands more power than the amplifier can produce, signal clipping can result. This means the negative and positive peaks of the amplifier’s output signal are clipped off. This can occur if the input signal level is too high. 1.
