The Gefen TV CR Speaker

The Gefen TV CR speaker system consists of exquisitely designed and tuned
speakers which perfectly compliment the small confi nes of a bedroom or
conference room. The CR speakers have been designed for high-quality audio
fi delity rather than booming bass and high volume output. These wall-mountable
speakers feature a handsome exterior construction and will fi t stylishly in a
variety of decors.

The Gefen CR speakers are perfectly suited to work with any audio amplifi er,
especially the Gefen TV Audio Processor, for which they were designed.

How It Works

Simply connect the Gefen CR speakers to your amplifi er. The CR speakers are
equipped with 5-way binding posts having connectors as follows: bare wire,
spade lug connectors, pin connectors, and two types of banana plugs (single and
dual).

Once all of your AV system connections are established, set the amplifi er’s
volume to a low level, turn on all connected AV equipment, and then increase
speaker output volume to a comfortable level.
