Pinnacle Speakers G0591 User Manual

 2011 PINNACLE LOUDSPEAKERS

We appreciate your choosing a Pinnacle speaker for use in your Home Theater &
audio system. These unique speakers will provide you with surprisingly powerful and
satisfying sound from an ultra stylish & compact package. Please read this manual
completely to ensure the best possible performance from your system.

SPEAKER PROTECTION:
One special feature of these speakers is an overload protection circuit designed to
help protect the speaker from accidental overload. This protection circuit will
automatically attenuate the overall output of a speaker when it senses excessive
volume level. If you hear this protection circuit engaging, (and it will be obvious when
this occurs), please turn down your receiver’s volume. Your speaker will quickly
return to its normal operation.

CONNECTIONS:
Complete all wire connections in your Home Theater / audio system before powering
up your receiver. Be sure to observe proper polarity for all speaker wire connections:
receiver PLUS (red terminal) to speaker PLUS, receiver MINUS (black terminal) to
speaker minus. For the best results, we recommend 12, 14 or 16 gauge wire; consult
your dealer for options.

To connect your speaker wire to your speaker's binding posts, twist the bare wire
strands together tightly, then insert through the hole which becomes visible when the
binding post cap is pushed down; release the binding post cap to secure the wire.
Remember, loose strands of wire may cause short circuits. Upon completion, gently
tug at all connections to ensure they are fastened securely and re-check for correct
polarity.

CONNECTIONS:
These speakers can be used in front, center or rear speaker positions.

• Connect your left & right speakers to your receiver's left & right main (front
speaker) outputs.

• Connect your center channel speaker to your receiver’s center channel speaker
output.

• Connect your left & right surround speakers to your receiver’s left & right
surround (rear) channels’ speaker outputs.

RECOMMENDED PLACEMENT:

• MAIN SPEAKERS: The best distance between the main speakers is dependent
upon room conditions, size, and the proximity of the listening area to the
speakers; usually 6-12 feet is appropriate. A bit of experimentation is in order,
but smaller rooms will better tolerate closer spacing between the speakers.

• CENTER SPEAKER: We recommend you wall or shelf-mount your speaker
horizontally, below, or just above, your TV.

• SURROUND SPEAKERS:

• One general rule of thumb: Try to position speakers so that the tweeter's level is

fairly close to your ear level in your normal listening position. High frequencies
are much more directional than low frequencies so it is best that your ears are
within a fairly direct path to the tweeter's output.

VERY IMPORTANT!

• Be sure your receiver’s center, main & surround channel modes are all set to
SMALL (NORMAL). This will allow for the greatest bass impact from your
system. If your receiver has an adjustable subwoofer crossover, we recommend
a setting of between 80 & 120 Hz for the best system performance.
