Wiring the Speaker
After placing the speaker, you are ready to connect
it to your system. First, turn off all audio system
power. Use high-quality speaker wire to make the
connections. Consult the owner’s manuals included
with your amplifier or receiver for connection and
operation procedures.
Surround Modes
When using the system in a Dolby ® Digital or DTS ® home
theater system, make sure the receiver or processor is
set to “Small” for the C10 center channel loudspeaker.
When using the C10 in a Dolby Pro Logic
® home theater
system, make sure the receiver’s center channel mode
is set to “Normal.”
Some receivers/processors offer a choice of crossover
frequencies. Select 110Hz as the crossover frequency
for the C10 center channel loudspeaker.
Some Dolby Digital-equipped receivers/processors
offer different setup options for each source or
surround mode, e.g., CD-stereo, DVD, Dolby, Pro Logic.
In each case, follow your equipment’s instructions to
ensure that the subwoofer output is turned on and that
the speakers are set to “Small” or to a crossover
frequency of 110Hz in each mode.
Wiring and Polarity
The C10 speaker has gold-plated terminals that can
accept bare wire.To ensure proper polarity, connect
each + terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiver
to the respective + (red) terminal on each speaker,
as shown in Figure 4. Connect the – (black) terminals
in a similar way. See the owner’s manuals that were
included with your amplifier or receiver to confirm
connection procedures.
Important! DO NOT reverse polarities (+ to – or
– to +) when making connections. Doing so
will degrade the imaging and bass response
of the home theater system.
After correctly placing and wiring the C10 and the rest
of your speaker system, adjust the levels for all of the
channels as recommended by the manufacturer of
your receiver/processor.
Figure 4: This example shows how to connect bare
wires to the terminals. Banana plugs may also be
inserted directly into the rear of the connector.
1. Loosen the terminals.
2. Inset bare ends; tighten terminals.
Maintenance
and Service
When needed, use a soft cloth to remove any
fingerprints or to wipe off dust. Do not use any cleaning
products or polish. Clean the grille by gentle vacuuming.
