Step .1: .Unpacking
Remove your new speakers from their packaging. Refer to
the unpacking diagrams printed on the CLX packaging
Step .2: .Placement
Place each CLX so that the curvilinear electrostatic panel is
on the inside. Place each CLX so the electrostatic panels are
at least four feet from the back wall, two feet from the side
walls, and angled slightly toward your listening area. Please
see the Setup and Placement section (pages 8–10) of this
manual for more details.
Step .3: .Power .Connection .(AC) (see warning)
Your CLX speakers require AC power to energize their
electrostatic cells. Using the AC power cords provided,
plug them in first to the AC power receptacle on the rear
of the speaker, making sure that you have made a firm
connection, and then to a wall outlet. Please see AC Power
Connection (pages 7) for more details.
Step .4: .Signal .Connection
Higher quality cables, available from your audio video
dealer, are recommended and will give you superior per-
formance. Use the best speaker cables you can. Spade
connectors are suggested for optimum contact and ease of
installation.
Attach your speaker cables to the signal input section on the
rear panel. Be consistent when connecting speaker leads to
the terminals on the back of the CLX. Take great care to
assign the same color cable to the (+) terminal on both
the left and right channels.
For detailed setup instructions, please turn to the Controls
and Connections section (Page 7) of this manual for more
details.
