CENTER CHANNEL
MUSICA6C
When using the MUSICA6C as a center channel speaker in a home
theater application the following guidelines should be used for optimum
performance.
Locate the speaker as close to the center of your TV or monitor as pos-
sible (Figure 1). This will anchor the central image of your home theater
to the location of the images seen on the screen.
Place the center channel at an equal distance to the listening position
as the main speakers are. Also, place the height of the center channel’s
tweeter as close to the same height as the main speakers’ tweeters
(Figure 3). This will prevent image blurring when sounds are panned
from the one side of the room to the other.

HOOK UP
Note: If your amplifier or receiver has a 4/8Ω switch, optimum performance
will be achieved using the 4Ω or lowest impedance position.
Use 16 gauge or heavier speaker wire for connecting to your amplifier or receiver.
Cut wire lengths leaving an extra 12” to 24” at each end to allow for moving the
speaker or receiver.
Using a wire cutter or a sharp knife, strip 1/2” of insulation off each end of the wire
to expose the conductor. Twist wire ends to prevent from fraying. Connect the
conductors to the binding posts on the bottom or back of the speaker by unscrew-
ing the post enough to expose the hole in the terminal post. Slip the exposed
conductor in the hole and tighten the post. Repeat this step for connecting to your
amplifier or receiver. Refer to the owner’s manual supplied with your electronics
to assist with proper hook up.
Note: To ensure proper performance, make sure that the wire from the red
(+) terminal on the speaker is connected to the red (+) terminal on your
amplifier or receiver. Likewise, make sure the wire from the black (-) termi-
nal on the speaker is connected to the black (-) terminal on the amplifier or
receiver. (Figure 4)

FIGURE 4 Connecting Speakers to Amplifier or Receiver
Once your speakers are hooked up, turn on your electronics and test to make
sure they are functioning properly. If your speakers sound “thin” with little bass
and have a poor center image, one of the speaker wires is probably hooked up
backwards. Double check all connections for proper polarity.
