SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Proper placement of the
speakers is an important step
in obtaining the most realistic
soundstage possible. These
recommendations are for the

optimum placement of the
loudspeakers. Use these
placement recommendations
as a guide. Slight variations
will not diminish your listening

pleasure. All of the Studio

™

L
Series loudspeakers referred
to in this guide are video­shielded and may safely be
placed near a television.

As front speakers

As surround speakers

MODEL: LC2

The LC2 center channel

loudspeaker

is designed

to complement all of the
Studio L Series loudspeakers. This
speaker is ideal for re-creating the
cinematic experience in your home.

MODEL: L820

The L820 loudspeakers are
designed to be oriented hori­zontally, as shown in the illus-

trations below. Although these
loudspeakers are designed as
a mirrored pair, the decision

as to which one is left or right
will depend on the amount of
space left between them.

A wider stereo image is
presented with the tweeter/
midrange array outboard, and
a tighter image is presented
with the array inboard.

This placement provides a
wide spread in sound, supple­mented by the center channel
speaker.

Receiver’s Speaker Outputs

MODEL: LC2

Receiver’s Speaker Outputs

Speakers and electronics have
corresponding (+) and (–)
terminals. It is important to
connect both speakers identi­cally: (+) on the speaker to (+)
on the amplifier and (–) on the
speaker to (–) on the amplifier.
Wiring “out of phase” results
in thin sound, weak bass and
poor imaging.

To use the binding-post
speaker terminals, unscrew
the colored collar until the
pass-through hole in the cen­ter post is visible. Insert the
bare end of the wire through
this hole; then screw the collar
down until the connection
is tight.

The hole in the center of each
collar is intended for use with
banana-type connectors. To
comply with European CE
certification, these holes are
blocked with plastic inserts at
the point of manufacture. To
use banana-type connectors
requires the removal of the
inserts. Do not remove these
inserts if you are using the
product in an area covered by
the European CE certification.

BI-WIRING

The bi-wire connection
method requires one amplifier
and two sets of speaker wires.
By removing the shorting bars,
connections may be made to
the individual network

sections

using four conductors,

one for

each of the four terminals.
For single-wire connection,

leave the shorting bars in
place and connect only a sin­gle set of speaker wires (two
conductors) to the two upper
terminals.
