Before you start
• The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 6 Ω.
Connect the speaker system to an amplifier with a load
impedance ranging from 4
Ω to 16 Ω (a model with “4 –
16 Ω” displayed on the speaker output terminals).
• Do not touch the speaker cones as they are easily
damaged.
In order to prevent damage to the speaker system resulting
from input overload, please observe the following precau-
tions:
• Do not supply power to the speaker system in excess of
the maximum permissible input.
• When connecting or disconnecting anything in your AV
system, make sure the amplifier is switched off.
• When using a graphic equalizer to emphasize loud
sounds in the high-frequency range, do not use exces-
sive amplifier volume.
• Do not try to force a low-powered amplifier to produce
loud volumes of sound (the amplifier’s harmonic
distortion will be increased, and you may damage the
speaker).
Caution: installation
• Do not place the speaker on an unstable surface. It
could present a hazard if it falls, as well as damaging the
equipment. If placing the speaker on a thick carpet, we
Installing your speaker
Please observe the following points when installing speakers:
• This speaker is a bookshelf-type speaker which will give
best performance when placed on a solid, level surface
off the floor. Placing the speaker directly on the floor will
result in boomy, undefined sound. Ideally, the tweeter
should be at about ear level when seated in your
listening position. We recommend using the CP-7EX
speaker stand for optimal sound and stability.
If you choose to use the CP-7EX speaker stand, make sure
you secure it with the screws provided.
• Sounds played through speaker systems are easily
affected in subtle ways by the conditions in the listening
space.
• For good sound, the speaker should be about 20 cm
away from the back wall and at least 50 cm away from
the side wall. If the room has a lot of reverberation, we
recommend hanging heavy fabric on the walls, and/or
putting a carpet on the floor to damp the sound. For best
results, cover walls completely.
