INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of ENERGY
and high quality manufacturing will allow you to enjoy the most natural and
accurate music reproduction for many years. The advice offered in this manual is
aimed at helping you maximize and maintain peak performance, and therefore, your
listening satisfaction. Please take the time to read all of the instructions contained
in this manual to make certain your system is properly installed and functioning
correctly.
COMPANY BACKGROUND
ENERGY ® speakers are the result of extensive research into accurate sonic
reproduction and represent the leading edge in speaker design and performance.
The finest components and cabinet materials combined with sophisticated
manufacturing and quality control procedures ensure many years of exceptional
performance and listening pleasure.
BREAK-IN PERIOD
We strongly advise that you resist the temptation to play the ENERGY
their full capabilities or experiment with critical placement and listening until they
have been properly broken in. This process should last approximately 50 hours. This
can be easily be done by putting your compact disc player on Repeat mode, while
playing a CD with a wide dynamic range at normal listening levels.
CABINET CARE
Great care and craftsmanship has gone into the construction and finish of the
cabinet. Periodically use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. Do not use
paper towels or other abrasive materials as it may damage the finish.
NOTE: Please retain the carton and packing material for your ENERGY
to protect them in the event of a move or if they need to be shipped to a service
center. Product received damaged by a service center that has been shipped by
the end user in other than the original packaging will be repaired, refurbished
and properly packaged for return shipment, at the end user's expense.
QUICK SETUP
Please read the RECCOMENDATIONS and FINAL SYSTEM ADJUSTMENTS
sections in this manual for suggested crossover and amplifier settings.
SPEAKER AND SUBWOOFER PLACEMENT
FRONT SPEAKER PLACEMENT (DIAGRAM 1)
For best stereo imaging, the left and right speakers should be the same
distance from their respective side walls. If the distance from one speaker to the
listener is very different from the other it can affect the soundstage or stereo
imaging. Therefore, the ideal position is having the speakers
equidistant to the listener.
A general guideline for speaker placement is to set up the space between speaker
and listener at approximately 1-1/2 times the distance between the speakers. For
example, if the speakers are placed a minimum of 6-feet (1.8m) apart (the absolute
minimum), the best seating position would be
9-feet (2.4m) away.
CENTER CHANNEL PLACEMENT (DIAGRAM 1)
A center channel can be expected to reproduce as much as 60% of a movie's
soundtrack, most of which is dialogue. In order to maintain the effect of voices
emanating from the actor's mouth, the center speaker should be centrally located
between the left and right main channels and placed above or below the television.
Be sure that the center speaker'sfront baffle is flush with the front face of the
television or cabinet to maximize dispersion.
