THIEL Model CS3.
C ongratulations on your purchase of the THIEL model CS3.6 loudspeaker system. This fine product is the result of a dedicated effort to provide very accurate music reproduction. We have used very high quality components and taken great care in the CS3.6’s construction. Properly set up and used with good associated equipment, the CS3.6 will provide you with a great deal of musical enjoyment for many years. SPEAKER PLACEMENT The CS3.
CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS The CS3.6’s input terminals are located on the bottom of the speaker. To gain access to them, the speaker should be laid on its back or side. Make sure that all connections are tight. It is essential for proper performance that both speakers in a stereo system be wired in the same polarity. The speaker’s input terminals are color coded to facilitate this.
BREAK-IN The CS3.6’s, like most speakers, require a period of playing before they perform optimally. The time depends on how loudly the speakers are played; more time is required if played softly, less if played loudly. At least 50 hours at moderately loud levels are required before the speaker is performing near optimum. You should notice even more improvement after 100 hours of playing. ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT The CS3.
GRILLE The CS3.6 grille is designed to not produce diffraction so there is no sonic reason to remove it. If you do need to remove the grille, pull the bottom of the grille frame away from the speaker an inch or so and then lift the grille upward to remove it. When replacing the grille, first push the top down onto the baffle and then push the bottom back. The grilles can be cleaned of dust by using an upholstery attachment of a vacuum cleaner.
